TRIM
Weight Management Supplement for Overweight or Good-Doer Horses

Kohnke’s Own TRIM is designed to help normalise the metabolism in ‘good doer’ horses and ponies.

Owners often struggle to reduce weight in these horses and ponies, even during periods of sparse grass or reduced feeding. While a trip to the ‘Jenny Craig’ paddock is a popular way to begin weight loss, it may not be successful if the horse or pony is an ‘easy-keeper’.

Product Information

Kohnke’s Own TRIM is designed to help normalise the metabolism in ‘good doer’ horses and ponies.

Owners often struggle to reduce weight in these horses and ponies, even during periods of sparse grass or reduced feeding. While a trip to the ‘Jenny Craig’ paddock is a popular way to begin weight loss, it may not be successful if the horse or pony is an ‘easy-keeper’.

Our Concept for TRIM

TRIM is the result of 4 years of field trials and research by Kohnke’s Own and contains nutrients which are often low or inadequate in the diets of horses and ponies on restricted rations.

TRIM is not like other weight management supplements! Many of which act on the hindgut digestive system, to suppress growth of hindgut bacteria or provide an artificial buffer to modify acid balance. 

In contrast, TRIM contains specific nutrients which have roles in normalising the metabolism.  TRIM is especially useful to strip off cresty necks and abnormal fatty deposits

TRIM your good-doer horse to help keep their body condition in the optimal range for health, vitality and performance.

Which Horses Benefit?
  • ‘Good-doer’ or ‘Easy Keeper’ horse and ponies
  • Overweight horses and ponies
  • Horses and ponies with a hard, bulging or ‘cresty’ neck and deposits of tail butt fat or abnormal fatty deposits over the shoulder and wither area.
  • Show horses and ponies needing to quickly trim down neck fat or cresty areas before a competition.
  • Hard-working, but sugar-sensitive horses, which need a grain-based diet for performance but struggle with abnormal fatty deposits or risk of laminitis.
Major Ingredients

TRIM is scientifically formulated and tested over many years of field trials to help horses manage their weight.

TRIM contains selected nutrients balanced to very specific levels for optimum metabolism in horses and ponies.  TRIM supplies trace-minerals and vitamins often lacking in rations fed to overweight horses, including magnesium, vitamin C, chromium and choline.  These nutrients are included in highly active forms for the best absorption and utilisation, such as protein chelated chromium and quality vitamin C from ascorbates.

TRIM is a pelleted supplement with palatable vanilla flavouring which mixes well into all types of feeds or small chaff portions (wet or dry).

Supplementation Guidelines

Each level scoopful of TRIM provides 20 grams. 

Provide one dose of TRIM each morning and night for the initial 1-2 weeks, then reduce to one dose per day until optimum body weight is reached.

Long term management at one dose per day may be provided for horses or ponies to help maintain a trim condition.

It is recommended that the dosage rate be reduced to relative to the horse’s body weight as weight loss progresses, following the guidelines below.

Testimonial for TRIM
“I started Sr. William on Cell-Vital back in 2013, which is actually the best vitamin I have ever given a horse! I put Sr. William on TRIM every spring and summer when the grass is very fattening. I found TRIM actually helped him loose the weight and he felt much better and alert. I often get asked what vitamins and minerals to give and I can not go past Kohnke’s Own!” Bibi L, NSW.
