Performance Pony That Ties Up
Tanya contacted Lucy Sweeting her area Feed Adviser to discuss a diet for her daughters mounted games pony Lexi who was aiming to represent England in the European mounted games championship.
Lexi required condition without the energy and had previously tied up with an owner in the past and was finding it difficult to find a feed that ticked all the boxes.
Lucy advised to start feeding Re-Leve®-Mix to provide her with a high level of calories, but with a very low starch level to maintain a trainable temperament. In addition, Re-Leve®-Mix contains elevated levels of Vitamin E to support normal muscle function and recovery.
"Lexi has additional topline and looks really well, we compete for the West Hants Pony Club with back to back competition and Lexi has had plenty of energy without being fizzy."
The formulation of Re-Leve is based on collaborative research from Kentucky Equine Research, it is the original low starch feed that uses alternative energy sources of fibre and oil instead of starch to allow performance horses that may have a compromised digestive or muscle function to perform. It contains elevated levels of antioxidants, Vitamin E and includes selenium to support normal muscle function and recovery making it suitable for horses with muscle disorders.
Re-Leve®-Mix
A high-performance mix designed for horses that react to a cereal based diet that is suitable for horses at every level. Soya hulls, lucerne pellets and beet pulp supply oil and fibre as the energy sources, keeping starch to a bare minimum. It is fortified with a concentrated source of proteins, trace elements and yeast, as well as natural Vitamin E and selenium to assist normal muscle function.
