The calorie-free 5-Star Rockies help keep your horse or pony in great shape all year round, whether in the pasture or in the stable. They contain trace elements and herbs, and the apple flavouring and fenugreek make them very tasty.
Zinc – Helps keep legs and coat in great condition all year round. 5-Star Rockies use Bioplex? zinc, which significantly improves absorption by the animal’s digestive system.
Seaweed – Helps improve skin condition because seaweed is a natural source of important minerals and trace elements.
Rosehip – Helps with breathing.
Important minerals and trace elements in seaweed:
Calcium for bone growth and maintenance.
Magnesium for enzyme systems and metabolism, as well as for preventing nervous disorders.
Sulphur for skin and hoof condition.
Phosphorus for bone structure (in combination with calcium).
Copper to reduce the risk of anaemia.
Manganese for enzymes and bone formation.
Iodine for the thyroid gland, which controls basic metabolism.
Selenium to help muscle development.
Cobalt for the production of vitamin B12 in the intestine.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
