Conditioning feeds

Many horses and ponies require additional condition. They may be in preparation for the show ring, may have come out of the winter badly, or just be generally poor doers. In such situations, there is a need to add condition steadily to produce excellent topline while avoiding causing any behavioural problems.

Horses are vulnerable to weight loss for a number of possible reasons, for example:

• Worm Burden
• Poor Grazing
• Illness
• Poor Teeth
• Stress
• Increased Work

Weight loss also commonly occurs during the winter. Energy requirements increase as the weather gets colder, just as grass growth decreases. This can lead to rapid weight loss if the overall energy in the diet is not increased.

SPILLERS® Conditioning Feeds are the ideal solution as they are highly effective in helping horses and ponies gain and maintain condition.

Both feeds can be used as part of the hard feed ration, mixed with the current compound. Alternatively, they can totally replace the horse’s existing hard feed to provide a nutrient dense ration.

Trials carried out on the SPILLERS® Conditioning Feeds have shown that they improve condition in as little as two weeks without excitability.
