Barastoc Calm Performer is a premium, nutritionally balanced horse feed formulated to provide cool, controlled energy for horses and ponies.

Designed with a low glycaemic index (GI) and reduced starch levels, this feed delivers slow-release energy to help maintain a calm temperament while supporting overall condition, gut health, and performance. It’s ideal for horses that can become excitable on traditional grain-based feeds.
