Feeding The Ex-Racehorse Straight Off The Track
Finding the balance between condition, temperament & workload can be tricky, especially with an ex-racehorse straight off the track.
Area Feed Adviser Kate Hayward suggested feeding Winton a 4-year-old Thoroughbred on Condition-Improver Cubes to ensure he received the calories required to support weight gain whilst maintaining a trainable temperament.
I started feeding Winton Condition-Improver Cubes in Aug 2020 when he was 4 years old just out of racing. I love that they have changed his body shape and muscle tone whilst still keeping him sane enough to retrain. And his coat just gleams!
CONDITION-IMPROVER CUBES are a complete feed and provide a balanced diet when fed at the recommended amount. They are barley and whole oat free and includes linseed and EQUI-JEWEL® to support weight gain, muscle tone and topline. EQUI-JEWEL®, is a high fat stabilised rice bran supplement which is highly effective at muscle and topline development when fed in conjunction with a suitable exercise regime. Together with the inclusion of the highly digestible ‘Super-Fibres’ they offer slow-release energy and supports digestive health and a trainable temperament whilst maintaining a healthy coat.
