Dull horse
"My horse often becomes tired and dull during competitions. What can I do?"

The first two fundamental aspects to consider are whether the horse is adequately trained for the task and if it is receiving enough energy. To meet the horse’s energy requirements, oil is an effective choice.

- Energy Oil  Contains a unique blend of oils from rapeseed, flaxseed, and coconut, which together provide the horse with high-quality energy in a gentle form.

For many horses, competitions involve travel, a new environment, and peak performance. This leads to increased sweat losses, and to prevent the horse from becoming dull or tired, it is important to ensure proper hydration and electrolyte intake.

-  Electrolytes  contain sodium and magnesium, essential for maintaining the correct balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body.

Many horses are well-trained and prepared for their tasks in the competition arena but lack that extra boost of energy. Perhaps the horse feels a bit dull before the final class or loses speed in the final stretch?

- Energy Booster  is pure MCT oil, which quickly provides the horse with accessible and easily usable energy.

It is also important to ensure that the horse has access to roughage throughout the competition day to keep the digestive system active.
If the horse experiences digestive issues related to competitions or travel, trying probiotics might be a good idea.

- Harmony  contains a live yeast culture that helps create a stable microbiota and optimize nutrient absorption—a must for the competing horse.
