A correctly formulated ration helps prevent health problems and optimize performance:
โ
Healthy horses stay in top condition and maintain a healthy weight. This prevents disorders such as colic and OCD (Osteochondrosis Dissecans).
โ
Sport horses need a balanced diet to perform optimally. Depending on the discipline and training level, the energy source (carbohydrates vs. fats) can be strategically adjusted and supplements can be added to the ration.
