Product details
EquiBarrier is a complementary feed developed to support the stomach’s natural protective barrier and promote ongoing gastric health. It is ideal for horses that may need additional digestive support during periods of training, competition, travel, dietary change or disruption to their normal routine.
Its carefully selected blend includes apple pectin and sunflower lecithin to support the stomach’s natural barrier, alongside calcium carbonate to help maintain a balanced gastric environment. Fenugreek, dried sugar beet pulp and bentonite provide further nutritional and binding support throughout the digestive tract.
Designed for regular use, EquiBarrier can be fed alongside EquiNectar as part of a wider digestive-support programme. A higher loading feeding rate is recommended for the first 14 days, followed by a reduced maintenance feeding rate for continued support tailored to your horse’s bodyweight.

Total Gut Solutions
Every part of the digestive system is connected. Our range has been developed so that each product supports a different aspect of digestive health, allowing you to build a feeding programme around your horse’s individual needs.
EquiNectar® – the daily digestive foundation
EquiNectar provides naturally occurring digestive enzymes that begin working in the foregut. By supporting the digestion of starch, fructans, protein and fibre earlier in the digestive process, it helps reduce the amount of undigested feed reaching the hindgut and supports a balanced digestive environment.
EquiBarrier – ongoing gastric support
EquiBarrier is designed to support the stomach’s natural protective barrier. Its blend of apple pectin, sunflower lecithin, beet fibre, calcium carbonate, fenugreek and bentonite makes it suitable for ongoing use in horses that require additional gastric support.
EquiBuffer – targeted acid-buffering support
EquiBuffer provides focused nutritional support during periods when the stomach may be under increased pressure. Its buffering ingredients help manage excess stomach acid while supporting the stomach’s natural protective barrier.
It can be used strategically during travel, competition, changes in routine or other periods of increased gastric challenge.
EquiCharcoal – short-term digestive support
EquiCharcoal contains activated coconut-shell charcoal with a highly porous surface. It is intended for short, targeted courses when additional binding support is required within the digestive tract, rather than as a permanent daily feed.
Building the right programme
EquiNectar can form the daily foundation of the feeding programme, supporting digestion throughout the wider gastrointestinal tract. EquiBarrier can be added for ongoing gastric support, while EquiBuffer and EquiCharcoal provide more targeted options when circumstances require them.
Not every horse will need every product. The range allows support to be tailored according to the horse’s diet, workload, routine and individual digestive needs.
