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.

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.

maintain normal energy levels. Restore is often very helpful in supporting our
other herbal products as it aids the digestion and absorption.
