Horse competition

How can Royal Horse’s H range meet the feeding needs of competition horses?

Competition horses are real athletes. Their body is regularly subjected to intense efforts, so it is important to offer them a horse food that will cover all their energy needs and contribute to their well-being.

The H150 range, ideal for intense and sustained efforts

The H150 range has been specially designed for competition horses and ponies that are subjected to intense and sustained effort, and that may be subject to gastric and/or muscular problems. For this type of effort, such as racing, horses are fed a diet very rich in starch because it is a very good source of energy. But this can be harmful to their gastric system. This type of feeding, added to the stress of racing, can lead to the development of ulcers. The H150 range is therefore ideal for ensuring the gastric comfort of this type of horse because it is low in starch (10%), but rich in fiber, which allows them to receive the energy intake necessary for their training.  It is composed of long-stranded alfalfa fibers, which promote salivation and thus limit gastric acidity in the horse’s stomach. It also contains probiotics and prebiotics that ensure good digestive transit, as well as plant antioxidants that reduce the effects of oxidation due to stressful situations and facilitate recovery. To meet all the energy needs of these competition horses, the H150 range also contains omega 3, which provides alternative energy through a high level of vegetable fats.

H range

The H200 range, ideal for sustained efforts

The H200 range is suitable for competition horses and ponies that work hard for about an hour a day. This horse feed promotes good digestive hygiene, thanks to its MOS (Mannan-oligosaccharides) type prebiotics, which are bio-regulators of the intestinal flora and help to ensure the horse’s digestive transit. It also allows a good recovery after exercise thanks to its high BACA (indicator of the effect of a food or a diet on the acid-base homeostasis of the horse). It also contains L-Carnitine, a nutrient that promotes the use of energy compounds from fats.

The H250 range, flaked feed for short and intense efforts

This horse feed is presented in the form of flakes. It is suitable for competition horses and ponies that are subjected to short and intense efforts, at a rate of one hour per day. Like H200, it guarantees good digestive transit, good muscle tone and optimal recovery. It is also rich in organic selenium, vitamins E and C and chelated trace elements (zinc and manganese) in bio-available form that improve assimilation.

The H350 range, flaked food for long and repeated efforts

This feed from the H range is ideal for endurance, racing and eventing horses. It has been designed to provide the energy needed for long efforts and stressful situations. These horses need a lot of energy that must be provided throughout the effort. They also need a diet that will allow them to rehydrate and recover properly. This feed is enriched with prebiotics, Omega 3, L-Carnitine and vegetable antioxidants, which allows competition horses to cover all their energy needs.
