Performance horse competitors as a group are renowned for going the extra length to get the best fitting and most comfortable saddle and tack, and the best training regime for conditioning their horse. But what about ensuring your horse is fed an optimized balanced diet using the best possible feed ingredients?
In this presentation, you will be shown how simple it is to fuel a horse in work using feed ingredients that are well suited to its digestive system, with a focus on fiber. Learn why it helps not only with energy and fuel sources, but also immune system responses and gut health. This presentation is aimed at those competing at the top of their sport, for those starting out, and for everyone in between.
