Equi-Jewel: safe energy for performance horses
Energy is power—the power horses need to maintain body systems and perform the tasks we ask of them. Too little energy and your horse loses weight. Too little energy and performance declines.
Research has proven that fats are excellent energy sources for working horses. The increased utilization of fat reduces the use of glycogen. Glycogen utilization causes lactic acid buildup, which leads to fatigue and sore muscles. Horses using fat for energy have reduced heart rates. Reduced lactic acid levels and lower heart rates result in increased stamina and faster recovery times after strenuous exercise. Fat metabolism causes fewer hormone surges, helping keep horses calm and focused on their jobs.
