Kohnke's Own Trim

Weight Management Supplement

Kohnke’s Own TRIM is the smart, science-based solution for managing weight in easy-keeper horses and ponies. Specifically designed for horses prone to cresty necks, abnormal fat deposits, or metabolic issues, TRIM helps normalise metabolism and supports fat and sugar processing from the diet.   

Why Horse Owners Choose TRIM:

 ✔  Targets Fat Metabolism Naturally - Formulated with key nutrients to help ‘burn’ fat and sugar more effectively, reducing fatty deposits and cresty necks.

✔   Supports Laminitis Prevention - A proactive aid to help reduce body weight for horses and ponies at risk of laminitis or founder, especially when general diet control isn’t enough.

✔   Optimises Metabolic Health - Includes highly bioavailable magnesium, chromium, vitamin C and choline to support insulin function and metabolic balance.

 ✔  Ideal for Overweight or Sugar-Sensitive Horses - Helps manage body condition in good-doers, EMS or IR-affected horses, and performance horses prone to fat accumulation.

Keep your horse healthy, lean, and performing at their best with TRIM—the trusted choice for effective weight control and metabolic support.

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.   
• Horses with a history of laminitis or those sensitive to sugar
• Horses suffering from Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) or Insulin Resistance (IR)
• 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-apple flavouring which mixes well into all types of feeds or small chaff portions (wet or dry).   

TRIM does not swab or contain banned substances and does not contravene the Rules of Racing or FEI Competition. This product is a nutritional supplement to support the health and well-being of a horse. It does not artificially enhance the performance of racing or competition horses. Rules prohibiting the use of any pre-race supplements within 24 hours of racing should be followed if applicable in the local jurisdiction.

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.

Initial Supplementation Rate for 10 – 14 days

Horses:  30 g morning and evening (60 g total)

Galloways:  20 g morning and evening (40 g total)

Miniatures and Ponies:10 g morning and evening (20 g total)

The total initial dose of TRIM can be added into one meal only if the horse or pony is only fed once per day, but split dosing between morning and evening is optimal to maintain nutrient levels over the day in grazing horses.

Normal and Maintenance Supplementation 

Horses:  20 g daily

Galloways:  15 g daily

Miniatures and Ponies: 10 g daily.
