SPOTLIGHT
Equilibrium Australia
Exploding onto the already flooded horse supplement market in 2001,
Equilibrium Australia has set a standard high above the rest. An all in one
performance horse supplement developed by the veterinarian, farrier, rider
and coach, Dr Lex Wills, Equilibrium satisfies all the basic vitamin and mineral
requirements of performance horses, without the need to add multiple
products.
Perhaps the most difficult part of owning a performance horse is identifying
the correct feed mixture that the horse needs to reach its potential. Realising
this, Dr Lex Wills set specific goals in mind: affordability, universality and
results, to develop Equilibrium and consequently, assist horse owners in

obtaining a balanced diet for their horse. Not only did Lex seek to supply the horse industry with a
great, easy to use and affordable product, he also set about trying to provide answers to some of
the most frustrating conditions affecting performance. These conditions were brought down to
three: feet, fitness and feeding. Dr Lex Wills has ensured that two of these conditions, feet and
feeding, could be improved by Equilibrium in the unique balance of vitamins and minerals.
There are two types of products that Equilibrium offers – the Equilibrium Mineral Mix,
recommended for all types of horses and ponies in all equestrian disciplines, and Equilibrium B1
Cool Mix, recommended for horses that are nervous and excitable. Initially developed to assist
World Cup Showjumpers, the Equilibrium B1 Cool Mix has grown immensely in popularity due to
the mega dose of Vitamin B1 and Magnesium. These vitamins aid the normal function of the
nervous system, and have a calming effect on overly nervous horses, allowing them to
concentrate and therefore perform better.
Possibly the best part of using Equilibrium, besides better health for your
horse, is that it won’t ‘break the bank’. To feed a 22 kilogram bag of
Equilibrium Mineral Mix to a dressage horse in medium work, will only cost 38
cents a day and last an incredible 7 months! Considering the success that
Equilibrium users have had - wins and placings in top endurance rides,
spectacular Showjumping performances at World Cup level, great dressage
performances from Preliminary to Grand Prix, wins in led-ins and carriage
classes, and record breaking racetrack performances, it would be foolish to not
consider feeding Equilibrium to your horse.
For more information, see the Equilibrium Australia website -
www.equiaustralia.com.au/ or call 1300 720 377.
