Simple System FlexiBalance – 10kg Forage Balancer with Rosehip Joint Support

Simple System FlexiBalance – 10kg

FlexiBalance is Simple System's concentrated joint option — four ingredients and nothing else: cooked linseed meal, seaweed meal, rosehips and brewers yeast. The joint support comes from rosehips, so the whole product is plant-derived, with no glucosamine and nothing shellfish-based. That matters to anyone feeding a horse alongside a shellfish allergy in the yard, and to anyone who simply prefers to know what is in the bucket.

There is no forage bulking it out, which is why it is fed at 40g per 100kg bodyweight rather than the 100g a full forage balancer takes. For a 500kg horse that is 200g a day, so a 10kg bag runs roughly fifty days. Crude oil is declared at 28–35%, high because the linseed meal is the bulk of it, and sugar and starch both sit under 5%.

Performance & Benefits

• Joint support from rosehips, 100% plant-derived with no shellfish-derived compounds.
• Works as a balancer and a joint supplement at once, replacing two products with one.
• Cooked linseed meal supplies Omega 3 for coat and skin.
• Seaweed meal (Ascophyllum nodosum) provides sea minerals; brewers yeast supports the hindgut.
• Concentrated at 40g per 100kg bodyweight, so a 10kg bag lasts around fifty days at 500kg.
• Free from cereals, molasses, pulses, soya, preservatives and additives.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies of any age whose joints need support.
• Horses in hard or repetitive work, and older horses stiffening up.
• Owners wanting one product instead of a balancer plus a separate joint supplement.
• Yards avoiding shellfish-derived glucosamine.
• Not a forage and not a hay replacer — it balances a forage diet rather than providing one. Simple System Veteran Balance+ is the fuller balancer if you want a sainfoin base at 100g per 100kg, and Joint Eclipse the option to add to an existing complete diet.

Feeding

• Introduce gradually over a week, as with any new feed.
• Feed 40g per 100kg bodyweight daily — 200g a day for a 500kg horse.
• Up to double that amount may be fed while competing.
• Feed as part of a complete Simple System forage diet for best results.
• A 10kg bag lasts approximately fifty days at the standard rate for a 500kg horse.
