Horse Health- Hartpury Saddlery's Tips

Maintaining good Horse Health,
 Tips from Hartpury Saddlery

Good horse health is essential to maintain in order to keep your horse, happy and healthy, and performing at his best. This is what most horse owners aim to achieve however with ever growing list of available supplements on the market, it can be difficult to know what to do.

Common reasons horses can lack condition and vitality include:  the stresses of travelling, changes in diets and/or the pressures of tough competing and changes of weather/seasons are another common time for deterioration in horse health and therefore these are key times to be aware of changes in your horses’ behaviour and overall performance. No matter what their circumstance, it is vital to keep on top of these horse health issues.

 To aid and maintain top horse health the market provides a range of supplements and feeds that will supply your horse the key nutritional support to  prime health, resulting in that ‘top notch’ horse health you want for your companion! Hartpury Saddlery have put together a few best sellers that we love and think can help you achieve the very best for you horse.
NAF Pink powder is a great example of a supplement that provides your horse with optimum condition. This feed balancer contains live probiotic yeast which ensures nutritional support of the gut and is a product that gives clear reflection when used showing the overall improvement or maintainability in your horses’ health, which gives an effective impact on the overall performance of your horse. It is an easy and affordable way to ensure your horse maintains the best health possible.

Global herbs- Restore A liver supplement which revives, helps with movement, and supports general condition and brightness.  Results can be seen in a few days. This formula often enriches the colour of a horse's coat as the digestion improves.

Use if you want your horse to look like and be a 'picture of health'. Feed to horses that are in poor condition or are listless despite good feeding and worming, Routinely use Restore at each change of season - 4 times yearly. We recommend regular feeding every 2-3 months for competing horses and the elderly.

Restore can help with horse health when changes in feeding are needed, and is an excellent aid to convalescence and for generally helping maintain normal energy levels. Restore is often very helpful in supporting our other herbal products as it aids the digestion and absorption.
Trusted by you, chosen by us, 100% NAF pure garlic granules. One of the best known herbs in the world, garlic’s use for health support dates back to Roman times.
