Brinicombe

About

Brinicombe (the Denis Brinicombe Group) has been formulating animal health and nutrition products in Devon, England since 1973. The Think range is their equine and companion animal line, and it is organised by problem rather than by ingredient: Think Free for joints and mobility, Think Ulcereze for gastric comfort, Think Hydrate for electrolyte replacement, Think Calm for horses that get sharp, Think Boost as a pre-event paste, and Think Lively as a general daily liquid. Two products cross over to dogs — Think Calm Double Strength and Think Poop. How to choose a format. Think Free and Think Ulcereze each come as a liquid and as pellets, and they are not interchangeable by volume — pick the one that suits how you feed. Liquid measures fast over a damp feed and suits one or two horses; pellets keep better in a hot shed and are easier to split across a yard of horses. The Tubby is a bucket format for the same job. Syringe pastes (Think Calm, Think Hydrate, Think Boost) are single-dose — they are for the day of an event, not a daily program. When these are not the answer. A supplement will not fix a horse that is in pain, under-fed or badly shod. Think Ulcereze supports a horse’s gastric comfort; it is not a treatment for diagnosed gastric ulceration, which needs a vet and a prescription. If a behaviour or soundness problem is new or getting worse, get it looked at before adding a bucket of anything. Feeding rates, full ingredient lists and withholding information for competition are printed on each pack — read them before you start, particularly if you compete under rules.
