So were we. We had been breeding and competing for decades -- and still struggled with knowing what to feed. The truth is that equine nutrition is complicated. And when your horse’s body is telling you that something is missing it is hard to know exactly what you should add.
So were we.
We had been breeding and competing for decades -- and still struggled with knowing what to feed. The truth is that equine nutrition is complicated. And when your horse’s body is telling you that something is missing it is hard to know exactly what you should add.
How do you know something is missing? Your horse will tell you. Poor hoof quality, lack of muscling, overweight or underweight, chronic ulcers, infections, soreness, tying up, early onset arthritis, frequent injuries or injuries that will not heal, an unfocused or unwilling attitude – the most frequent causes of these issues are nutritional deficits. Is your broodmare struggling to conceive or to carry to term? Do her babies have trouble standing or suckling? Are you frustrated by crooked legs, babies that get sick easily, or just fail to thrive? All of these issues have been linked to nutritional deficits.
We were tired of being confused.
So we decided to solve these problems – not just for us but for all the horse owners out there tired of worrying and struggling and wasting money on the wrong supplements. We hired top-notch scientific and nutritional staff and gave them one mission: FIX THIS.
And they did.
The result: two foundation products that remove the guesswork from feeding – Core Complete for your adult horse and Core Developmental for your broodmare and young, growing horse (available as top dress or pasture tub).
Both products provide everything your horse needs to eat every day and can be used with any type of feeding program, including a forage-first program. Many horses will not need any additional supplements.
Why does that matter? Because there are thousands of equine supplements on the market and, like us, you probably do not have the scientific training to know which ones might actually work. Don’t worry about it. Core Complete and Core Developmental have you covered. The formulas are science- and evidence-based.
And, using Core Complete or Core Developmental will simplify your feeding program. To get to the nutrient levels provided by these products using individual supplements, your horse would have to be fed:
- A hoof supplement or a trace mineral supplement
- A B vitamin supplement
- An amino acid supplement
- One or more gut supplements
- One or more joint supplements
Be confident. Not confused.
Feed Complete or Developmental.
