Horsefeed – What Your Sport Horse Needs

Show jumping and cross country riding place strenuous metabolic demands on your horse, requiring it to draw heavily on energy reserves to fuel muscle contraction, sometimes for extended periods. Energy levels will directly affect whether or not your horse can go the distance.
