WHICH PRODUCT IS RIGHT FOR MY HORSE?
A simple guide to choosing the right Healthy Hay supplement
Choosing the right supplement shouldn’t be confusing.
This guide is designed to help you quickly identify which Healthy Hay product best suits your horse’s needs — whether you’re supporting metabolic health, digestion, dental care, hydration, or performance.
If you’re unsure, many horses benefit from more than one product, and our range is designed to work together.
START HERE: WHAT DOES YOUR HORSE NEED MOST?
METABOLIC HEALTH, EMS & LAMINITIS SUPPORT
Best options:
✅ EquiZest Lime Peel Powder
Best for:
Horses with EMS or laminitis
Low-sugar, forage-based diets
Digestive and metabolic support
Why choose it:
Lime peel provides functional fibre, natural vitamin C, and antioxidants while remaining naturally low in sugar. It supports digestion and metabolic balance without sweeteners or fillers.
👉 Ideal as a daily base supplement.
✅ EquiZest Lemon Peel Powder
Best for:
Metabolically sensitive horses
Fussy eaters
Horses needing gentle digestive and immune support
Why choose it:
Lemon peel offers similar benefits to lime but with a gentler flavour profile, making it ideal for horses that are sensitive or selective with feed.
👉 Choose lemon if palatability is your top concern.
DENTAL HEALTH & ORAL HYGIENE
✅ EquiChew – Dental Chews
Best for:
Tartar build-up
Bad breath
Daily oral hygiene support
Enrichment with purpose
Why choose it:
EquiChew is designed as the only dental chew made specifically for horses. The firm texture encourages chewing, supporting natural mechanical cleaning, saliva production, and oral pH balance.
👉 Use daily as part of a dental routine. Does not replace professional dentistry.
SUN, SKIN & COAT SUPPORT
✅ EquiZest Sun Shield
Best for:
Horses prone to photosensitivity
Light-coloured skin or pink noses
Seasonal sun exposure
Skin and coat resilience
Why choose it:
A zinc-based, low-sugar formula designed to support skin integrity, repair, and resilience from the inside out — particularly during periods of high UV exposure.
👉 Ideal for spring and summer feeding.
HYDRATION & MINERAL BALANCE
✅ EquiZest Citrus Salt
Best for:
Daily hydration support
Warm weather
Horses that don’t lick salt blocks
Encouraging water intake
Why choose it:
Provides essential salt with citrus palatability to support hydration and mineral balance — without molasses or added sugar.
👉 Great for everyday use or alongside work.
✅ EquiFizz – Electrolyte & Vitamin Support
Best for:
Horses in work or competition
Travel
Hot or humid conditions
Recovery after sweating
Why choose it:
EquiFizz combines electrolytes, vitamins, and citrus flavour in an easy-to-use effervescent format to support hydration, energy metabolism, and recovery.
👉 Use during periods of increased workload or heat.
