Additional feed for horses joints & muscles

Building muscle in horses starts in the feed trough

Musculature consists largely of protein. For a horse to build muscle during training, it needs sufficient high-quality protein containing all essential amino acids, especially lysine, which is often in short supply in hay. The need for vitamin E and selenium also increases with work.

The Muskelpower Powdercombines soy protein with amino acids, vitamins E and C, and gamma-oryzanol. Vitamin E / Selenium & Lysineprovides these three nutrients in a concentrated form, and the Sport & Performance Mineral Feedcovers the basic requirements during training.

Joint supplements: What you should look out for

Many horse owners supplement the rations of their sport and senior horses with substances such as glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, or collagen, and with plants such as devil's claw or willow bark. For any joint supplement, ensure there is a complete declaration of quantities per daily ration, a feeding duration appropriate to the product, and information on the withdrawal period before competitions. This is provided on every product page at Annimally.

Training, exercise, and care

• Regular exercise:Muscle is built through training. Feed provides the building blocks but does not replace a well-thought-out conditioning program.
• Warming up and cooling down:Plan for sufficient walking phases before and after work.
• Care after riding:The Clay Pastewith arnica, chamomile, and menthol is a staple in many riders' post-training leg care routines.
• Involve a veterinarian:If your horse is lame or reluctant to move, have it checked by a veterinarian first.
