Providing enough energy for your horse to race at his peak is one of the biggest challenges for trainers and owners. Whether your horse is in training or fit and ready to race, the energy intake required to fuel muscle activity and to maintain optimal performance can be more than double that required at rest. Your feed not only needs to cater for your horse’s weight, age and stage of training, it needs to support and fuel your horse under the stress of regular, fast (aerobic and anaerobic) exercise.
A Quality Racehorse Feed Should Deliver:
Energy
A quality feed for the racehorse should provide all the essential building blocks to fuel your horse’s metabolism during exercise:
- protein for energy and muscle mass
- fatty acids like omega 3 and omega 6
- fibre and grains for energy
- quality oil
- essential minerals and vitamins.
Fiskens Racehorse Mix contains all the essential requirements for a racehorse in full work, providing a readily digestible source of energy, muscle building protein and vital nutrients.
Balanced Nutrients
A properly balanced feeding programme for the racehorse should help build muscle and reduce fatigue while providing optimal energy intake. Fiskens Racehorse Mix eliminates the guess work so you can deliver the right balance of nutrients to keep your horse racing at his best. It is the perfect complement for pasture and on most properties, no other supplementation will be required.
