THE ACCURACY OF SUPPLEMENTING THE EVENTING HORSE

Performance, balance and accuracy are the keys to success in eventing, as it is for Equistro. As the joints, muscle and digestive health are the focus on eventing performance, see below our recommended supplement program.

DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!

Sweating is a major route to dissipate heat during heavy exercise or high ambient temperature. Did you know that horses can lose up to 10% of their body weight through intensive sweating?

Sweat contains many important electrolytes such as sodium, chloride and potassium. In performance horses, zinc can be lost in significant amounts in sweat as well. All of these minerals have to be replenished, as their deficits can lead to disturbance in skeletal muscle ion content causing muscular dysfunction. Always provide electrolytes and water at the same time. Replacing electrolytes without rehydrating the horse can lead to severe complications such as sodium toxicity.

The Equistro supplements have been recommended to me by a dear friend and leading Australian racehorse nutritionist in 2009 – and I have never looked back since. They have made a huge difference to my horses in their overall well being, their performance and also their "looks". All horses in my yard are – at their individual level – top athletes and it is imperative to me that everything is being done to ensure their well being and give them the best chance to develop and perform at the best of their individual availabilities.
