At Equine Balanced Support (EBS), we are dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of horses and small animals through sustainable, research-backed products and education. Founded in 2006 by Elizabeth King, an accomplished dressage professional, and Emily Thompson Smith, a pioneering journalist and equestrian, EBS began as a local equine supplement provider. In 2020, Emily retired from her role in EBS, and Sam DenDanto, an innovator in sustainable technology and mechanical design, became a partner. Sam’s expertise in mechatronic product development helped propel EBS into a new era, integrating cutting-edge solutions into equine health and nutrition. This unique convergence of expertise defines our mission to provide species-appropriate, proactive care for horses and small animals.
Yes—when chosen carefully. While treats are not supplements and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease, their ingredients and sugar content matter. Treats also matter to your horse. It can say “Job well done,” “Great effort,” or even “I love you,” and make schooling a lot more rewarding and desirable for your horse. Grazers Nutri-Treats are formulated to be low in NSC, allowing owners of metabolically sensitive horses to reward positive behavior without adding unnecessary sugar or starch to their horses' diets.

Yes! Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in normal skin integrity, immune function, and enzyme activity in horses. Chloride is an electrolyte that supports normal fluid balance and digestion. In Grazers, these minerals are included at modest levels appropriate for a treat—not as a replacement for a complete mineral program.
Vitamin E is a naturally occurring antioxidant that supports normal muscle and nerve function. Vitamin E often shows up in pasture grass, so grazing horses have access to this form of Vitamin E that Metabolic horses are often forbidden to eat. In Grazers, Vitamin E contributes to overall nutritional quality while remaining appropriate for a treat format.
Grazers include beneficial microbial components—Saccharomyces boulardii and dried Lactobacillus acidophilus—which are commonly used in equine nutrition to support normal digestive function. These microbes are not medications and are included at levels appropriate for a treat to complement overall gut health as part of a balanced feeding program.
Absolutely! Grazers are suitable for horses of all types and workloads as a low-sugar, forage-based treat option that supports routine training and daily care. You’ll be amazed at how the aroma catches their attention and gets them asking to enjoy Grazers too!
Horses find Grazers highly palatable, making them a perfect choice to use for training, enrichment, and positive reinforcement. Grazers get their great flavor from timothy grass, peppermint, and fenugreek, which are widely recognized as flavors many horses naturally enjoy. These familiar, forage-aligned flavors help make Grazers appealing without relying on added sugars or artificial sweeteners.

“ We have a metabolic Morgan Mare that we struggle with continuously. She is gorgeous, super smart and stays fat on air… just not fair. She struggles when she sees other horses getting treats that she can not have. We are always on the ‘watch’ for wholesome treats that satify her and yet are safe for her metabolic issues. Grazers was an Immediate hit with our Morgan. First, when you open the bag, the smell is Incredible— these treats smell Amazing!! Our Morgan mare could Smell them before she could SEE them and to say that she “loved” them was an understatement! Grazers was a Huge hit! The Only problem, was that all the horses near her smelled them too and we ended up sharing with them. Looking at the wholesome ingredients, it actually makes us happy to give them to her. So we will say 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️… you hit a “home run” with Grazers!” — Ann Pruitt- Director

Grazers Nutri-Treats are forage-based, whole-food horse treats built around ground timothy grass and beet pulp rather than the molasses and grain that fill most reward treats. Equine Balanced Support engineered them as a low-sugar, nutrient-dense snack you can hand-feed during training without spiking a horse's sugar load. Each treat layers in functional support — vitamin E, zinc proteinate, electrolytes, and probiotics — so a simple reward also does double duty as a small dose of daily nutrition.
Equine Balanced Support (EBS) was founded in 2006 by Elizabeth King, a USDF Bronze and Silver Medalist dressage professional with more than 20 years of training and barn-management experience, and Emily Thompson Smith, an award-winning journalist and equestrian whose legacy still shapes the brand's science-first voice. In 2020 the team added Sam DenDanto, an expert in mechatronic product development, to drive sustainable product innovation. That blend of horsemanship, journalism, and engineering is why EBS calls itself "more than a company — a community of horse and animal lovers, innovators, and environmental stewards."
The full ingredient panel is whole-food first: ground timothy grass, beet pulp, brewer's dried yeast, dried kelp, fenugreek, salt, coconut meal, magnesium oxide, zinc proteinate, organic carrot powder, wheat germ oil, calcium carbonate, coconut oil, peppermint oil, plus Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation products for gut support. The guaranteed analysis lists Crude Protein 9.80% min, Crude Fat 2.00% min, Crude Fiber 36.00% max, and Vitamin E 136 IU/lb min. There is no added sugar, molasses, filler, or soy anywhere in the recipe.
The treats are formulated so both NSC and HC test under 10%, the threshold that makes them appropriate for horses with EMS, Cushing's, insulin resistance, or laminitis history. That low-sugar, high-fiber profile is the whole point: owners of metabolic horses can finally offer a "yes" reward instead of skipping treats entirely. As Dr. Knoell, DVM (NY) puts it, "As a vet, I recommend Grazers Nutri-Treats as a tasty snack for my clients' horses, especially metabolic horses!"
Grazers suit a wide range of horses — metabolic and EMS horses, Cushing's and insulin-resistant horses, seniors with bad teeth, drafts, warmblood dressage mounts, mini and therapy horses, and everyday performance horses in training. The soft, forage-based texture chews easily for older horses, and the small size makes them genuinely pocket-friendly for clicker work and barn rewards. EBS also offers a free Forage-Based Diet Planner so owners can fit treats into a whole-horse feeding plan.
