Just had the rep in the shop! ;D left me some samples and leaflets and it appears to be slightly cheaper than topspec etc but has a totally different composition to them
views welcome ;D

The only things I have ever heard about it are that it sends horses a bit nutty! A few people I know have tried it and their horses have all behaved really oddly on it.

I used to feed it to a shetland mare we had with a skin complaint. Never made any difference to her skin and she certainly didn't go loopy on it.

I know this is a really old thread, but I'm new and just found it. I was recommended Equibra by my farrier for my TB ex racer. He could only keep his shoes on for about 4 weeks at a time, his feet never grew and if he lost a shoe his hoof would virtually disintigrate and he would be so foot sore. I used to feed time all sorts of suppliments and potions but nothing worked. After introducing Equlibra gradually, I cut down on all his feed, he was just getting Equibra and chaff in the summer and some sugar beet in the winter plus ad hoc hay all year. I honestly thought he'd starve his feeds were so small. Then things started to change, a grove appeared around his hooves were it was kicking into his system,his coat looked amazing, he didn't get overheated for riding and come February I wasn't ashamed to take his rug off because for the first time he hadn't lost a load of weight over the winter. He's been on it for years now and when the farrier comes he has to cut a lot of toe off as it grows so much and for the past 4 years he's had no shoes on and walks without being sore after having his feet done.
Dougal, my Dales, fractured his pedal bone 1 month after I bought him, it was touch and go whether I could ride him again. He had bar shoes fitted for 2 years, then I thought I'd try him in Equibra as well. He now doesn't have shoes and is as sound as a pound. He hacks out, goes showing and jumping.
I would swear by Equibra and tell anybody who is interested about the results I've had. My farrier and I did reccommend it to somebody with a TB with foot problems but it give him colic twice. I'm not sure though if they introduced gradually or just chucked it into the feed.
Sorry to go on a bit, but that's our story. X

I used Equilibra for my 25 year old thoroughbred ex-international 3 day event horse Kingfold, he had been on bute for 2 years and suffered frequent bouts of lyphangitis which were set off by food alergies, once on the Equilibra his Lyphangitis didn't reoccur and he was off bute within 6 months he went on to age 32 when he fell in the field and broke his pelvis, he kept condition throughout all the winters and had completed a 5 mile hack mainly at trot, he didnt like walking! on the morning before he fell. I would definately recommend it.

Bea has been on this for a couple of months. He is certainly not fizzing up on it and is looking well. We're about to up the quantity as the quality of the grass drops off. If he can maintain condition over winter I'll be pleased.

Yacht is 19 now and a bit arthritic but looks amazing, I think he looks better than when I first got him 10 years ago. It is quite price but it saves on all the other stuff I used to give him. I also give him Fibergest by GWF.
