Why Lush®?
- Formulated specifically to fill mineral gaps and balance the calcium to phosphorus mineral ratio for broodmares and growing horses grazing lush, growing pasture.
- High in calcium and magnesium to meet requirements on lush pastures that are inherently low in these crucial minerals.
- Contains minerals carefully selected for purity and bioavailability that will support sound bone and joint development.
- Set recipe formulation with the same premium quality proteins used in every batch for incredible muscle building capacity and milk production.
- Feed alone where weight control is required or add your own grains or Pryde’s BioMare Cubes when additional calories are needed.

Feeding Rates & Directions
g/day
| DRY 200 FEEDING RATES | grams/100 kg of Bodyweight per day | EXAMPLE: amount/day for a 500 kg horse** |
| Idle/Spelling Horses | 100 | 500 g |
| Pregnant & Lactating Mares | 200 | 1 kg |
| Breeding Stallions | 200 | 1 kg |
| Weanlings, Yearlings and 2YO’s ** | 200 | 1 kg |
**Use your horse’s expected mature bodyweight to calculate the correct dose. For example a weanling that will mature at 500 kg should receive 5 x 200 g = 1000 g/day.
For the Best Results
- Introduce a horse’s ration gradually over 2 weeks.
- Feed in conjunction with ample forage (pasture, hay and/or chaff).
- Make clean, fresh water and salt available at all times.
- Adjust the amount fed so it is appropriate for a horse’s body fatness, growth rate, stage of development, pregnancy or lactation, along with the quality and quantity of forage available.
- Divide feeds into two or more smaller meals if feeding more than 0.5 kg per 100 kg of bodyweight in ‘hard feed’ per day.
- The feeding rates given here are based on the amount of feed needed to meet a horse’s vitamin and mineral requirements. If you feed below these feeding rates, vitamin and mineral deficiencies will appear in the diet and may affect health and limit growth and sound development or reproduction. It is best to feed this balancer pellet at the recommended amounts.
- If you are feeding this balancer pellet in conjunction with one of the Pryde’s EasiFeed range of complete feeds the amount fed may be reduced. See the ‘Keep It Balanced’ information on the back of your feed bag for adjusted feeding rates.
