Our Secret to Palatability

We work hard to ensure that all our supplements are as tasty to a horse as they can be. We always source the best ingredients in the world but if they won’t eat it would be a total waste!

Our years of experience formulating supplements, means we have a good idea what horses will and won’t eat, but before we put any products on the market, one of the development stages is to ensure that they have undergone a rigorous taste test from our panel of horses and ponies. We make sure that we are confident that everyone will eat them from the smallest pony on a sprinkle of chaff, right thorough to a serious performance horse on multiple meals a day. Only once they have passed this discerning panel’s palatability test (as well as all our other tests and trials  for efficacy and functional benefits) will they be available for our customers!

Many of our supplements contain no added flavourings, simply relying on the naturally delicious flavour of the functional ingredients such as Linseed, which not only acts as a brilliant base material but it also provides beneficial Omega 3 Fatty Acids.

In some circumstances, when we know there are ingredients that aren’t always the tastiest (such as certain Amino Acids) we add plant-based flavourings to improve the palatability. Here are a few examples: our recognisable Apple and Cherry flavouring in Apple Lytes. Often our pellets such as Lamigard Pellets contain Aniseed and Fenugreek, a firm favourite of horses! Our new Uls-Gard Gel is a lovely Peppermint flavour.

We are fully transparent with all our ingredients, so just have a look at the label if you want to know more or please ask and we would be happy to tell you!

We know all horses are individuals with their own tastes, but we are so confident in our products that we offer a 30-day money back guarantee, meaning if you are not 100% happy with a product for any reason (including if your horse doesn’t like it!), simply let us know, meaning you can try our products risk free!
