Breeds that are high risk include: Welsh, Dartmoor, Shetland Ponies, Morgan, Arabian and Warmblood horses. Metabolic Tonic helps your horse maintain normal metabolism. The word 'Metabolism' describes how all the chemical reactions in the body work together. The body's metabolism naturally changes with the time of year and the amount of fat deposits present especially during the Autumn/Winter months. The state of the body's metabolism in such conditions affects energy levels, insulin resistance levels, blood glucose stability, fat levels in the crest and belly, sensitive laminae, and normal drinking and urination. Metabolic Tonic is designed to help all the above remain in normal harmony so that your horses can live comfortable, fit and happy lives. Note: When horses and ponies put on fat for the winter or eat too much at any time of year, the extra fat they gain can naturally release hormone-like chemicals that change the metabolism and make it much easier to lay down more fat and develop large crests. This change in metabolism may make it possible to become very fat in preparation for winter but also makes such horses very sensitive to rich food. Horses can also be affected by this situation at any time of year. Please consult your vet for further assessment and advice on metabolic concerns. Metabolic Tonic is a formula that helps horses maintain normal energy and fitness through the maintenance of stable blood glucose and insulin levels and normal body fat condition.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

We want to be crystal clear when it comes to managing your expectations; our website is stock managed to show you what items are available for same day dispatch and those which are externally warehoused and therefore, will take a little longer to arrive with you.

Simply make your product selections and a message will pop up telling you how long it will take us to dispatch your order; we call this our product availability message.  If you are happy with the product availability message on the item, checkout your order and we will ship your order in the timeframe stated.

If you have lots of items in your basket, please use the longest product availability message to work out when your order will arrive.  We care about our environmental impact, so we don't split ship orders unless you get in touch to request that we do so.  We will let you know on your order confirmation when we expect your order will arrive with you.

Whilst we do our best to meet the handling times stated in the product availability message, occasionally we can experience some delays in the delivery network.  At these times, a team member will email you to keep you updated on the progress of your order.

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not change our expected handling times; the service selected is always from the point of despatch not purchase.

If you do require an order urgently, please contact us before ordering to ensure we can accommodate your requirements as we hate to be party poopers!

Which couriers do you use?

Before choosing a courier, please make sure you are happy with the product availability message as these handling times apply before we ship your order.  If it doesn’t show “Express warehouse: immediate despatch”, it will not leave us on the same day you have placed the order.

We use FedEx, DPD and Royal Mail for most of our deliveries.  Some large items may come with other trusted 3rd party couriers.

Our Royal Mail economy service is usually delivered in two - three days.  You will receive a text message and an email confirming the day of delivery; Royal Mail provide a four hour time window for delivery.

FedEx and DPD are delivered next working day from point of despatch for UK mainland addresses or in two working days for Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland, and Irish addresses.  You will receive a text message and an email confirming the day for delivery. 

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not mean your order will bypass our handling times; FedEx and DPD are from the point of despatch, not the point of purchase. 

If an item has an "Oversized goods must select FedEx" overlay on it, please ensure you select FedEx as your delivery option to avoid any delays with your order.
