As we look forward to the summer months ahead, now is the time we can relax and allow our horses to enjoy long days out grazing with many being turned out 24/7.
While undoubtedly most horses benefit from living out, particularly horses and ponies in low levels of work, can you be sure that they are receiving adequate nutrients from the grass alone?
Also, balancing the diet of a leisure horse that is not exercised daily can often be a challenge, controlling energy levels and behaviour.
Through proven feeding strategies targeted specifically at horses in this lifestyle, the balance between horse health, happiness and performance can be achieved.
A good indication of the over-all health of any horse is the condition of its coat and research has shown that minerals are important in nutritionally maintaining a shiny lustrous coat.
The mineral Zinc is involved in the formation of keratin, a fibrous protein in both hair and hooves.
Copper functions as a co-factor for numerous enzyme systems, one of which is active in the linking of collagen and elastin in the skin.
Lifeforce Focus from Alltech is specially designed for horses and ponies in less active lifestyles, that spend a lot of time grazing, whether they are a happy hacker that is only ridden a few times a week or a retired companion.
It helps reduce stress and maintain positive behaviour while promoting good health from the inside out.
By improving gastrointestinal integrity through more consistent fermentation and fibre digestion, Lifeforce Focus can minimise digestive upsets, reducing the risk of colic and the presences of essential trace minerals support coat, skin and hoof quality.
Lifeforce Focus is available in a 5kg tub, which is a three month supply and retails at £60.
Alltech®, the title sponsor of the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy, France has developed the LIFEFORCE Range of all-natural daily digestive aid supplements. These products are designed to benefit horses at every stage of life, from breeding stock to pleasure and performance animals.
