Key Ingredients per 120g Serving

Product Information:

Better Bones Pellets are a carefully researched combination of key minerals, vitamin D3, vitamin K, collagen and amino acids, to support correct bone growth and development in young, growing horses, including young racehorses and performance horses entering training, as well as broodmares.

The skeletal development and health of a young horse begins in utero, and ensuring the broodmare receives the correct intake of key nutrients will be critical to the growth of the unborn foal. Producing high-quality milk places a significant drain on the nutrient reserves of the mare, and maintaining mineral intakes during peak lactation is vital to ensure the foal receives the best nutrition to support the rapid skeletal development in the early weeks and months of growth.

Mineral and other nutrient imbalances in growing youngstock have been recognised for some time as a potential factor in the incidence and severity of developmental skeletal abnormalities, and although genetics and environmental factors can also play a significant role, breeders and trainers can exert a significant degree of control over the nutrition of the horses in their care, ensuring they receive optimum levels of key nutrients.

Young performance horses, such as racehorses, or young showjumpers, dressage or event classes taking part in age-restricted classes, are expected to train and race or compete where significant stresses are placed upon immature bones and joints. Whilst there are many factors than can result in skeletal problems in young performance horses, ensuring that the correct nutrients are provided to support maximising bone density will help ensure optimum bone strength and may reduce the incidence and severity of bone injury.

Better Bones can also be fed to horses on long term box rest, when the enforced inactivity can result in bone de-mineralisation, making the horse more vulnerable to further injury when work recommences. 

What are the benefits of Better Bones Pellets?

Calcium is one of the most important minerals in bone, and accounts for nearly 35% of equine bone, as well as playing key roles in muscle and nerve function. Calcium is provided from a combination of organic and inorganic sources, to ensure optimum bio-availability, including marine algae, calcium gluconate, dicalcium phosphate and alfalfa.

Phosphorus accounts for around 15% of bone, and also plays key roles in energy and fat metabolism.

Magnesium  - about 60% of the magnesium in the horse’s body is found in the skeleton (and around 30% in the muscles). Magnesium is provided from marine algae.

Vitamin D3  - plays a key role in the correct metabolism of calcium

Vitamin K -   plays an important role in a number of physiological processes including bone metabolism, energy production and immune function.

MSM - supports the horses’ natural anti-inflammatory processes, as well as providing a bioavailable source of sulphur to support hoof growth.

Collagen and amino acids – Collagen is a protein, and along with other key amino acids, provides a structure for calcium, phosphorus and other minerals to add strength and harden the framework or skeleton.  This combination of collagen and minerals makes  bone both strong and flexible enough to withstand the stresses of normal physical exertion. Collagen also provides support for soft tissue (tendon and ligament) health.

Copper, zinc, manganese and silicon – are key trace minerals, provided from a combination of organic and inorganic sources to help ensure optimum bio-availability, and they all play key roles in bone growth and development.

Key Ingredients per 28g Serving

Product Description

Horses’ lungs are subjected to an ongoing respiratory challenge from fungal spores, dust, pollen and other tiny particles in their immediate environment, whether they are stabled or out at pasture, working and competing outdoors, or in an enclosed indoor school. Most horses cope with these challenges, but there are occasions when a healthy respiratory system is overwhelmed by these tiny particles, which can irritate the sensitive lining or mucosa of the respiratory tract, including the lungs, and horses cough to try to clear their airways.

Targeted nutritional support can help support the horse’s natural defences against such challenges, and Coff-Less Powder contains a powerful blend of natural herbs and phytochemicals (active compounds from plants), known for their role in maintaining respiratory function.

Coff-Less also contains Echinacea and MSM to help support the immune system.

What are the benefits of Coff-Less Powder?

Eucalyptus oil is well known for its ability to help clear the respiratory tract of a build-up of mucus caused by exposure to dust, fungal spores, pollen and other small particulate  matter.

Peppermint and its active ingredient Menthol, have been used for centuries to help open the airways and clear excess mucus. Many of the natural compounds found in peppermint oil will provide nutritional support to help the horse’s own respiratory defences.

Nettle, Fenugreek and Astragalus  are all thought to help support the respiratory system and lung health.

Garlic and MSM  help support a the horse’s own anti-inflammatory response, and maintain healthy airways.

Aloe vera, marshmallow and glycerine help to soothe the airways.

Echinacea and Apple Cider Vinegar help to support the immune system.

Kelp and seaweed provide a natural source of many key micronutrients to support general health and wellbeing.

Key Ingredients per 30ml Maintenance Serving

Product Description

Feeding oil to horses is now pretty universally accepted as a good way to provide additional non-starch calories for those horses and ponies who need additional calories for work or weight gain, but who require a low starch and sugar diet. Most users also recognize that feeding oils will help produce a glossy coat and healthy skin. 

However, in recent years, the type of oil, and its constituent fatty acid make up has received increasing attention, with research focusing on the polyunsaturated fatty acids (or PUFA’s) and two groups in particular, which are thought to have particular health implications for horses and ponies:

Omega 3 fatty acids, which are derived from  ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) – including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The horse is able to convert ALA to EPA and DHA, when  ALA is provided in the diet.

Omega 6 fatty acids, which stem from LA (linoleic acid).

Both omega 3’s and omega 6’s play many important roles in the body including:

• Joint health
• Hoof Health
• Reproduction
• Immune Function
• Endocrine (hormone) function
• Respiratory function
• Neurological function
• Skin and coat condition

Omega 6’s are metabolised to produce important chemicals which are involved in the pain and inflammatory response, which is vital to support the horse's initial immune response following injury or illness, and so most have become known as pro-inflammatory. Corn oil, soya oil and sunflower oil are all rich in omega 6’s

Omega 3’s  -as well as playing key roles in many metabolic processes, their primary roles are to support the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes. Oils high in omega 3’s include fish oils and linseed/flax  oils. Fish oils contain EPA and DHA, and linseed oil contains ALA which can be converted to EPA and DHA in the horse’s body.

So there is a balance required between the mainly pro-inflammatory omega 6’s, which are important to support the horse's initial immune response following injury or illness, and omega 3’s, which help support the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes.

The natural diet of horses in the wild consists mainly of fresh forage, which contains more omega 3 fatty acids than omega 6 fatty acids – especially when the grass is growing. Research has not fully determined the ideal ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 in the diet, but it is estimated that fresh grass has a ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 of between 3 and 4:1.

In contrast, the modern competition horse is typically fed a mixture of cereals and dried forages, and this diet is much higher in omega 6’s than omega 3’s, as cereals are naturally higher  in omega 6’s and the dry process of hay results in the loss of most omega 3’s.  So this diet will typically have a much higher levels of pro-inflammatory omega 6 fatty acids, and a low level of omega 3’s to support the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes.

It is now recognised that providing additional sources of omega 3’s in the diet of most horses and ponies, but especially those in hard work , youngstock and breeding horses, older horses or those with very limited access to grazing, is vital to help provide support for the horse's own anti-inflammatory processes, and help to ensure the correct ratio of omega 3’s to omega 6’s in the diet is maintained to promote optimum health and performance.

In practical feeding situations, although fish oils contain higher levels than plant sources of EPA and DHA, they can be very unpalatable, and there are also question marks over sustainability and the environmental impact of using fish oils.

So EA Supreme Omega Oil contains linseed (flax) oil to provide ALA for the horse to convert EPA and DHA, and although the conversion rate is not fully understood, there are marked and noticeable benefits for most horses arising from feeding 30-60 mls per day of this additional source of omega 3 fatty acids.

Ingredients & Nutrition

Cold pressed linseed oil typically contains more than 4 times as much omega 3 as omega 6.

Key Ingredients per Serving (30ml)

Product Description

The role of the immune system is to defend the horse’s body against foreign invaders or pathogens, which may cause disease or infections and include bacteria, viruses, fungal invaders, foreign proteins or parasites. If the immune system is compromised, it may not be able to effectively combat these challenges, and health and performance can be affected.

All horses’ and ponies’ immune systems are under constant challenge, and research has shown that stress can also result in a less efficient immune system. Common stressors may include intense training regimes and competition programmes, frequent travelling, stabling away from home at shows with large numbers of other, unfamiliar horses, irregular feeding times, changes in management routines, poor nutrition and disruptions to social interactions (new horses entering or leaving the normal grouping).

In addition, old or very young horses will often have an immune system which may doesn’t function as well as it should, increasing the risk of disease in these groups.

The immune system has 3 main lines of defence:

Physical barriers – including the skin, the cornea of the eye, and the membranes lining the respiratory tract, the digestive tract and the reproductive and urinary tracts. When these barriers are intact and healthy, they can stop many invaders from entering the body and causing disease. These physical barriers are further supported by the microbiome – the population of beneficial micro-organisms, which can help to destroy invaders,  especially in the gut

Innate or non-specific immunity – if the physical defences are breached – perhaps by bacteria entering a wound in the skin, or the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract are overwhelmed by airborne viruses, the immune system recognizes these harmful invaders, and very rapidly, special cells release chemical messages, both to set up the inflammatory response (which we may see as heat, swelling and pain), and to alert the next phase of defence. This initial rapid innate or non-specific response doesn’t differentiate between the different types of invaders, but just sends white blood cells to the area of invasion, to kill the invading organisms.

Specific or adaptive immunity – Once this rapid response is underway, the specific response to the particular invader can begin, and this adaptive immune system “learns” the best way to attack and destroy each different pathogen, creating an “immune memory” so when that invader is encountered again, the specific immune system can send more white blood cells and antibodies to attach to the surface of the bacteria or virus, and stop it multiplying and infecting other healthy cells.

This whole process begins in a matter of seconds, and can last for days, or even weeks! Targeted nutrition for horses and ponies when their immune system is compromised, or not working as it should, can help to support the immune system and encourage the healing and recovery process.

Emune Solution is a powerful blend of plant-based compounds and nutrients designed to provide support to the immune system. Horses and ponies who are unwell, and in particularly sick or unthrifty foals should always receive veterinary attention.

Key Nutrients per 50g Serve

Product Description

Providing over 25 key vitamins, minerals and trace elements, together with probiotics and prebiotics, Everyday Vitamins and Minerals are the ideal way to help ensure optimum health and performance in horses and ponies on forage-based diets, or low intakes of concentrate feed.

The balanced levels of key trace elements and important antioxidant vitamins are also suitable to support growth and development in youngstock and broodmares.

Forage should form the basis of all equine diets, but many pastures are low in key minerals, and preserved forages such as hay and haylages can lose much of their vitamin content with drying and storage.  Many horses and ponies do not need the extra calories from fortified concentrate feed, and this can mean that their forage-based diet may be low in key minerals and vitamins.

Everyday Vitamins and Minerals provide a cost-effective, simple way to provide important micronutrients such as vitamin A for the immune system, healthy skin and vision, Vitamin D for strong bones, the  antioxidant Vitamin E for muscle health,  and B complex vitamins for blood health, immune boosting, and energy production for body cells to function correctly.

Important minerals including calcium and phosphorus help build and maintain strong bones and muscles, and magnesium helps to support the nervous system.

Trace elements including copper, zinc, manganese, iodine, selenium and iron all play important roles in bones, muscles, and maintaining health and well-being.

Probiotics and prebiotics included in Everyday Vitamins and Minerals help support a healthy gut microbiome, which is  vital for keeping the immune system working, to produce energy to provide body heat to keep horses and ponies warm, and to digest fibre to produce energy used to maintain bodyweight and to work.

Everyday Vitamins and Minerals powder is carefully blended on a palatable alfalfa base, which also provides important amino acids, together with seaweed, a natural source of many nutrients.

What are the benefits of Everyday Vitamins and Minerals?

Cost-effective way to provide important vitamins and minerals for horses and ponies on forage- based diets or low concentrate feed intakes to help maintain health and wellbeing.

Suitable for youngstock and broodmares  to support growth and development.

On a palatable alfalfa and seaweed base, easily mixed in a small fibre feed, to encourage even fussy feeders.

Ingredients & Nutrition

The ultimate all-in-one supplement to promote optimum health and performance in competition horses and ponies.

The key ingredients in Formula 1 Pellets includes:

Collagen: an important compound needed to produce the water-based matrix or structural framework of the cartilage, to help give it strength and elasticity. We use a sustainable and ethical source of marine collagen.

Hyaluronic Acid: a key glycosaminoglycan (GAG) which helps to maintain the viscosity of the joint fluid, to lubricate the joint and act as a shock absorber.

Boswellia: provides powerful plant-based anti-inflammatory support.

Whey Protein: provides a source of key amino acids to support the muscles.  

Apple Pectin, marshmallow root and liquorice root:  provide digestive support by helping produce mucilage which acts as a physical barrier for the unprotected upper portion of the stomach. Apple Pectin also acts as a prebiotic.

Probiotics: from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and to support a healthy gut microbiome.

Methylsulphonylmethane (MSM): provides a bio-available source of sulphur to support the bonds in the cartilage structural matrix, and also supports anti-inflammatory processes.

Turmeric: with black pepper to aid absorption providing antioxidant support as well as supporting anti-inflammatory processes.

Spirulina: from blue-green algae to support the muscles in exercising horses, as well as immune system support.  

Lecithin: is a special type of fat which supports healthy stomach lining cells.

Essential amino acids including lysine for muscle health and methionine for muscle growth.

Broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals including:

Key trace minerals including manganese, silicon and copper which all play important roles in the production of structural compounds such as chondroitin, as well as in the production of collagen and HA. Copper also plays a key role in red blood cell and haemoglobin production.

Antioxidant Vitamins C and E alongside other plant-based antioxidants help to mop up the free radicals produced during exercise and stress, which could otherwise damage cells.

Zinc and Biotin to support hoof and hair health.

B Vitamins for blood health, supporting the immune system and energy production for body cells to function correctly. 

All ingredients are selected to ensure they are fully compliant with the Rules of Racing and the FEI Guidelines for Clean Sport.
