To keep your performance horse strong, healthy, and competition-ready, you don’t need a cabinet full of fancy supplements. Focus on the four basics every horse needs: protein, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, and salt. These essentials support muscle development, joint and tissue repair, and overall stamina.
1. Protein (Amino Acids)
- Builds and repairs muscles
- Supports recovery after training
- Key amino acids: lysine, methionine, threonine
2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
- Promotes joint and tissue health
- Reduces inflammation from intense work
- Found in flaxseed & Camelina oil
- Keep the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio balanced for optimal effect
3. Minerals for Joint and Tissue Repair
- Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and chelated trace minerals
- Aid in strong bones, connective tissue, and cartilage
- Support overall metabolic functions and recovery
4. Salt / Electrolytes
- Maintains hydration during work or competition
- Replaces minerals lost in sweat
- Essential for nerve and muscle function
- avoid added coloring and iron
Why These Four Basics Matter
- Keep your horse fit and healthy without overcomplicating their diet
- Prevent injuries and soreness
- Improve performance consistency
