Lazy Protocol for Horses

Support for Horses with Low Energy, Hay Bellies, and Metabolic Imbalance

Lazy or "Chunky" Horse Protocol

For horses with stubborn weight, low energy, or early metabolic imbalance

If your horse seems bloated, cresty, sluggish, or can't drop that hay belly, the issue may be a metabolic imbalance affecting digestion, insulin regulation, and energy production.

What’s Included
DiVet supports gut health, digestion, and nutrient absorption, helping reduce internal inflammation.

RootZ targets cellular fatigue and supports energy, hormone balance, and blood sugar regulation.

ViVet (optional but recommended) fills nutritional gaps with vitamins, minerals, and herbs that support hydration, detox, and coat health.

Together, these supplements help improve digestion, boost metabolic energy, and support healthy weight and blood sugar balance.

Feeding Tip
Use a clean base of timothy and alfalfa pellets with ViVet mixed in to control sugar and starch intake.

Signs of Metabolic Imbalance
Cresty neck, hay belly, low energy, stiffness, difficulty losing weight, or spooky behavior.

Next Steps
This protocol is ideal for horses showing early signs of metabolic dysfunction. For diagnosed EMS, use the advanced EMS Protocol. Need help? We're happy to customize a plan.
