About Equine Nutrition

Winners lead the way to optimum nutrition

Winners lead the way to optimum nutrition.
Horse owners and trainers don't become winners just because their horses win. Those owners and trainers are already winners. They have gone beyond what others regard as adequate. They have made a commitment to superior genetics. And they have strived to achieve that genetic potential by exploring all the options and seeking every advantage. In their search for better solutions, they have learned that optimum nutrition leads to outstanding development and world-class performance.

 

Winners lead the way to exceptional health

Winners lead the way to exceptional health.
A yearling starts out with vast potential but never realizes it. A colt is a winner one week and a loser the next. An average performer breaks through to come into its own. What happened? In each case, factors related to performance and nutrition created a "different" horse. That's why winning owners and trainers develop their horse's nutrition as carefully as they develop their horse.

 

Winners lead the way to world-class performance

Winners lead the way to world-class performance.
A horse, like a car, runs on fuel. But unlike the gasoline in your car, your horse's feed serves many different functions. Biotin helps strengthen the hooves. Calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and copper strengthen the bones. Vitamin E plays a role in keeping the muscles running. It's not easy to get everything in a world-class horse working together in perfect synchronization at the perfect time. But winners know that it happens. And when it happens, it's a beautiful thing to see.

    Feeding Directions

  • The following feeding directions are guidelines to maintain desired body condition and performance. Feeding rates need to be adjusted according to the horse's condition and training or competition schedule. Split the recommended level into two or more feedings each day.

  • Start feeding at the lower level and adjust to maintain the desired body condition. Feed requirements to maintain body condition may vary considerably due to individual differences. Use a weight tape and regular body condition scoring to make sure the horse is maintaining the desired condition. Pay close attention to actual body conditions when horses have longer hair coats.

  • If hay is used, the amount of feed may be reduced by 1 LB for each 1.5 to 2.0 LB of hay fed. Reduce feeding rate if pasture is available.

  • If your horse has severe dental problems, Nutrena Life Design Senior horse feed may be soaked with warm water to form a mash. The mixture should soak for five to eight minutes until it reaches the consistency your horse prefers.

  • Provide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times. Salt should be available free-choice.
