Pro Balance Plus
A superior equine forage balancer helping to replenish some of the most commonly deficient minerals, vitamins & amino acids in forage. Plus added Biotin and G.I. support.
Progressive Earth Pro Balance Plus is specifically formulated to balance the grass, hay or haylage in your horse’s diet, plus the addition of biotin for extra hoof support and added VistaCell to support healthy gut microflora and maintain correct pH balance.
Pro Balance Plus is ideal for those horse owners who want to balance their horse’s diet but are unable to formulate a diet based on a bespoke forage analysis. Feeding separate minerals can sometimes be time-consuming, complicated, and expensive.
Pro Balance Plus is manufactured in a UFAS (Universal Feed Assurance Scheme), BETA NOPS (Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances), FEMAS (Feed Materials Assurance Scheme), ISO 22000 ( Food Safety Management System) certified state-of-the-art premix manufacturing facility. Pro Balance Plus is produced using the highest quality feed assured ingredients under strictly controlled production conditions and conform to the requirements of EU and UK legislation governing the manufacture of animal feeding stuffs.
Our high specification formulas are carefully balanced using optimum ratios defined by the National Research Council. Targeting only the deficient minerals in forage.
Pro Balance Plus does not contain any wheat feed or linseed.
We recommend the addition of micronized linseed meal throughout the winter months, or if a horse is fed predominantly hay/haylage. This is for the essential fatty acids that a horse may be short of when grass is restricted. Essential Fatty Acids cannot be manufactured within the body and must be present in the diet.
- Helps balance your horses’ grass and hay and haylage
- Added biotin for extra hoof support.
- Strong ligaments and tendons
- Muscle & nerve health
- Shiny healthy coat and skin
- Vibrant coat colour
- Better attitude to work
- A Healthy metabolic system
- Healthy Lungs & breathing
- Good doers on restricted diets
- Healthy strong immune system
- Added Vistacell to support Healthy Gut Microflora
- Supports correct pH Balance
Suggested intake:
1 to 1.5 x 50ml (50g to 75g) scoops daily of Pro Balance Plus for an average 500 kg horse.
1/2 to 1 x 50ml (25g to 50g) scoop daily of Pro Balance Plus for an average 300 kg pony.
We always advise with any new feed/supplement/dietary change that it should be made gradually due to the horse’s sensitive digestive system. As advised by the national research council.
Pro Balance Plus is a powdered supplement that we recommend is mixed with a soaked base feed such as a suitable mash, soaked hay cobs, grass nuts, beet pulp etc.

Please note our guidance on the use of Salt: We do not add salt directly to our formulations.
Chloride in salt is naturally quite abrasive. So adding salt can lead to rapid degradation of vitamins used in our mixes if exposed to light, moisture and heat etc.
The addition of salt could considerably reduce the shelf life of our products. Our products are packed and sealed in carefully controlled packing facilities at our mixing house. We cannot guarantee how products are stored once opened by our customers.
We have a fast turnover of products and all our mixes benefit from long shelf lives. Customers can feel confident that their products will remain fresh and free from degradation.
Our Balancers and Premixes are formulated with the specialist guidance of World-leading nutritionists at the Professional Mixing House Company we use.
We recommend all horses should have free access to salt. However, a salt lick alone cannot be relied upon to cover maintenance & sweat requirements. Many horses do not choose to use the lick enough.
The amount of salt needed is variable depending on how much the horse sweats.
For example, a 500 kg Horse needs 10g of sodium per day (25g of salt) for maintenance needs, this is without exercise or sweating on hot days.
1 – 2 tablespoons of salt per day, added to the horse’s feed is a reasonable amount to cover maintenance requirements.
Working horses will require additional electrolytes. Dissolving the salt in water & spraying it onto hay, can be an alternative option for picky eaters.

Excellent product and excellent service.

I have used Pro Balance Plus on my rare-breed native ponies for a number of years. It is ideal to feed in a small quantity of chop and beet as they get the minerals without added calories. They are very healthy, with beautiful coats and good feet.

Prompt and accurate delivery with a lovely little treat to look forward to. I have been feeding Pro Balance Plus to my horse for about 5 years. She is barefoot and her feet have been described as rock crushers since adding the supplement to her feed. It is highly palatable and she enjoys the flavour.

Excellent product. Love the chocolate too!
Angela D. –
Always a great service would highly recommend
Kerri H. –
My cob looks fantastic and I’m finding she’s keeping the weigh off which is amazing as she has always been a nightmare to keep in good shape. I wouldn’t use any other balancer.
Linda –
Great product the ponies loved it
Sally Finch –
I’m really impressed with this balancer. I’ve got a youngster (3 1/2) and an older mare I was advised that this would suit both and I’m really pleased with the outcome. My youngsters hooves are much tougher she is barefoot and no longer showing signs of being foot sore. Both horses look well even though it’s winter and they live out. Overall very happy and will continue to feed.
Susan Goodlad –
This is a brilliant balancer easy to mix in and does its job well, my ponies are healthy and happy.
Quick service too and the chocolate is a lovely touch

The Progressive Earth balancers keep my horses in the best of health. I have no issues with abscesses or mud fever since starting them. They’re an essential part of my “kit”.

My elderly mare and middle aged gelding are doing well on it.

I’ve used this for my three ponies for a few years and they do well on it; strong feet and lovely shiny coats.

Good stuff. Horses an ISH and a PRE eat it happily mixed with chaff and are very well on it. They get rough sparse grass and local haylage when needed. No hard feed. Their weight,coats,and bare hooves are good. But we are in Ireland and curse the extra expense and nonsense that Brexit us created. Won’t stop us getting it though.

Perfect xx

Carrie Thomson –
My mare has been on pro balance + for over 8 years and her hooves are so much better – hardened up, she grows decent hoof and she goes barefoot over stones without being sore.
Any time I’ve tried something a little cheaper I see a difference in her hooves and always revert back.

This mineral balancer is fab, i always get asked what i feed my horses as they have such lovely dapples all year round!
Kim Maclennan –
Great service and quick delivery. Love seeing a wee chocolate in the packet too. The minerals have been really beneficial to my older pony as we don’t have any trace elements in our soli.
Tayla Hart –
My horse has a few health issues that has resulted in him having some time off work. Everyone still comments on how well he looks and how well he’s held his muscle. His feet are strong and held up through a wet winter and his coat is lovely and shiny.
rebecca c. –
Have returned to feeding this fab product as our ponies hooves started showing small cracks in the hoof wall . Been feeding again for 2 months and can see the lovely new growth growing through very healthy.
Sophie –
Really good quality and excellent service, really noticed a difference since being on this have moved on to the hoof platinum
Nicki E. –
Highly recommended. An excellent forage balancer, reasonably priced and always delivered promptly. I’ve used this product for a number of years now, and often compare products from other companies, but Pro Earth is still the best.

Have used Pro Balance for several years. It is a good all-round balancer. My Welsh Cobs eat it with no problems in a handful of forage based feed. Postage is quick & easy to order.

I’ve been using PRO Balance with my 3 OTTB’s for the past 2 years and I love it. Apart from not adding unwanted additional cereal to their diet, I’ve had 2 farriers ask me what I was feeding them as their feet, fully barefoot, are in a fantastic condition.
Karen B. –
As always brilliant product. Arrived safely. Horses looking great and super healthy on this supplement. I add linseed too as grass limited turnout. Horses looking the picture of health.

Really pleased with this balanced. On my 2nd bag and my horse not only looks fantastic but I have noticed a huge improvement in his hooves. 10/10, and great customer service! 🙂
Clare Daniels –
I love progressive earth! Mel is always so helpful!
Tracy –
Great balancer, definite improvement in coat condition
Kathy Anne Gilmartin –
I am absolutely delighted with all of my P.E purchases.
But I could not be with this this one !.
This particular one I buy for my rising barefoot 20 year old Welsh D and it seems to suit her brilliantly, I’ve owned her almost 13 yrs and I’m not joking when I say she has never looked as good,, bar a few grey hairs, the improvement in her since she’s on this is remarkable, I’d be here all day if I was to list all the positives, but I will say that the improvement in her hooves, coat and overall ie “bright eyes, alertness and eagerness while ridden” is almost unbelievable.
I received another order today 19-2-2021, as always the packaging was excellent “you do not skimp on tape !” and packets were clearly labeled and of course sealed tight.
Thank you so much P.E for providing Irish horse owners with excellent products.
Love from Ireland .
Kathy and CARNFFOI JESSICA.

Amazing difference in my horse’s hooves four weeks after staring her on it. The wall and sole arexstronger and the frog is no longer soft with holes. Very impressed as she is only on half a scoop a day!
Debra Leighfield –
Excellent! I’ll be ordering again as soon as I am near to running out.
Joanna B. –
Very efficient service and a great product
moira –
I have a fussy horse and he has taken to this without a problem so must be very palatable. His coat is really shiny and he has a wee spring in his tail! I’d definitely recomend this
Elaine B. –
Has made a difference to his hooves this winter, no cracks, seedy toe cleared up, no ridges. A good all round winter balancer giving him the essentials.
Claudine Wilson –
Yes really happy with it
Beth –
I started purchasing pro balance + at my barefoot trimmers advise I was previously using a pellet based balancer and although I saw much improvement my mare was still struggling.
Since using pro balance+ I have seen strides of improvements in my mares feet, not as foot sore, no longer pulls to be on the grass verge for comfort. We’re slowlu growing out a white line separation, energy levels have improved!
I’m very happy with this product and any time I see it out of stock it does not take long at all for it to become available again.
Now for my top tips!
Do as the pages recommend and add this very slowly! My youngster turned her nose up a few times but I just reduced and tried again, took her a bit longer to get a full dose into her feed regularly.
I already fed micronised linseed soaked with some chop, this wasn’t enough to carry the balancer, I even tried adding garlic but I found my girls are eating up the balancer much better once I added a small portion of low sugar/starch soaked meadow nuts so I’d say a mash/soaked nuts would be the best base! (No longer adding garlic)
I also add a scoop of peppermint for good measure! And this also helped a friend get her mare to eat her pro balance+ too.
Victoria C. –
Good product
Kate –
Fab products I wouldn’t feed anything else! Our pony is rock crunching barefoot and glowing with health.
Elizabeth –
My horses have been on this for years and it’s amazing! Attitude to work, hoof growth, overall body condition and general well being has improved enormously. Highly recommend
Steph M. –
I have been feeding this to my pony for years now. He is a good doer and is on restricted grazing. I feed him this in some oat straw. He does really well on it. He is barefoot and my trimmer recommended it to me. His feet are amazing!
Claire Hills –
Always provide excellent advice and service. Highly recommend My horses look the best they have ever looked on this balancer.
Viviane Jongen –
I’ve got this supplement to help my mare develop healthy feet but the biggest impact the pro blance had was on her physical health. She was struggling to gain back muscle mass after developing cushing disease, even after she got on medication. But as soon as she started eating the pro balance consistently she regain muscles at an incredible speed. Her coat is also a lot more shinier and even softer and her hoof also seem to be slowly improving. I’m very pleased with this supplement.
Gill –
Orders are always dealt with efficiently and promptly and are packaged securely. An excellent service and our bare foot horses benefit from this produce – proof is in their hoof quality.
Michelle Colton –
Really good product, would highly recommend it, product arrived on time
Jo C. –
Making a noticeable difference to hoof integrity. My trimmer is happy, I’m happy and most importantly mare is happy. Thank you!
Nicky M. –
I’m really pleased with the balancer and although I’ve only been using it for about 3 months, my ponies hooves are strong and healthy, their eyes bright and their coats glossy, even their winter woolies. One of my mares has sweetitch poor thing, so I’ll be looking for help from progressive earth products early next year. Very impressed with the fast service too.
Francisca –
Prompt service
Amanda T. –
I’ve used PE supplements for 2 years and wouldn’t use anything else. The Pro Balance is a complete powder and I can therefore feed my horses a diet that works for them perfectly. I previously used lysine and biotin and their top line improved, they’re now barefoot and looking fantastic.
Sophie B. –
Always lovely service, good advice and excellent products
Wendy –
Great product and service
Holly –
Great service, excellent product
victoria ashby –
very helpful, quick delivery, good advice , chocolate treat for me was a lovely gesture as its all about them normally . Thank you
Steph M. –
I wouldn’t be without this product. I buy a year’s supply at a time, as this makes it more affordable. My pony is barefoot and this really helps to keep him sound on rough surfaces. Unfortunately last year I forgot to reorder, and in the time that my pony was without his Pro Balance he became quite sensitive on stony ground but this disappeared as soon as he was back on his Pro Balance. He is muzzled as he is a really good doer and it’s great to know that he is getting everything he needs despite being on a restricted diet. I feed it with micronized linseed and salt and he looks amazing.
Nicola Thomas –
Brilliant company who offer great feeding advice.
My elderly mare has been on pro earth pro balance plus for nearly 2 years now and her feet have improved dramatically along with her overall health and appearance. It’s the perfect forage balancer for her as I cannot get my hay tested due to our farmer having multiple hay fields and I can only store a dozen bales at a time. I know she is getting what she needs without the added nasties.
Delivery is fast with the added bonus of a little chocolate goody!
Heather –
I’ve been giving my horses this balancer for the last 4 years. I started using it after one of my horses a ten year old Arab had laminitis and I needed to give him an affordable balancer that contain all the minerals and vitamins he needed in an easily absorbed form without needless calories. Both my horses look well and since I have been giving them this balancer my old boy a 25 year old grey Arab no longer suffers with mud fever or rain scald which I think is the balancer giving his immune system boost.
Jill Startin –
Love probalance and the chocolate for me!
