Product Description
Performance horses can all experience muscle discomfort - intense training programmes, travelling, competition and racing require extreme effort from the horse’s muscles. In addition, certain genetic conditions, dietary imbalances or management factors such as irregular exercise regimes can result in muscle disorders, sometimes unrelated to extreme exercise.
Targeted nutritional support can help support muscle health and recovery, including the provision of elevated levels of key antioxidants to support muscle cell membrane integrity, including not only Vitamin E, Selenium and Copper, but also plant based ingredients, with high potency antioxidant properties.
All ingredients are selected to ensure they are fully compliant with the FEI guidelines for Clean Sport.
Ingredients and Nutrition
Formulated to provide key antioxidants to support muscle health.
The unique blend of ingredients includes:
Vitamin E and Selenium – two key antioxidant micronutrients, to mop up free radicals produced during exercise, to help reduce oxidative damage to muscle cells.
Melon Pulp Concentrate is naturally high in a key antioxidant enzyme, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
Beetroot also contains high levels of betalain pigments, high in antioxidant activity.
Bio-available Chelated Copper also plays a role in the production of key antioxidant enzymes, helping to support muscle health.
Calcium Gluconate - recent research has confirmed the importance of calcium transport across muscle cell membranes for optimal muscle function.
Glycine – an important amino acid in the production of glutathione, a key antioxidant to help support muscles.
All ingredients are selected to ensure they are fully compliant with the Rules of Racing and the FEI guidelines for Clean Sport.

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.
