Red Mills Feed Room: The Truth About Balancers, Complete Feeds and What Your Horse Needs

The Feed Room is open and Spike has questions. Louise Jones from Red Mills is back and this time we are getting into the real nuts and bolts of feeding. Balancers, complete feeds, how they actually work, and when each one makes sense. If you've ever wondered whether a scoop of chaff and a balancer is really enough, or why some yards swear by mixes while others live by cubes, this is the episode that clears the fog.

Louise breaks down what a complete feed technically is, how the equine world uses the term differently, and why protein and amino acids matter more than people realise. There is even a moment where Spike learns feeds are cooked, and it changes his entire worldview.

A genuinely useful conversation with plenty you can take straight back to the yard.

Highlights

What a complete feed actually is
When a balancer works and when it simply does not
Why protein and key amino acids often get overlooked
The hidden calorie gap in low bucket feeds
Mixes versus cubes and how they are made
