Horses in moderate work have a higher calorie and protein requirement and their bodies are subject to stresses that idle horses are not subjected to. This Elk Grove Milling W G&C Sport Mix Horse Feed supports the moderately working horse regardless of discipline. Energy levels in the Sport Horse Mix are elevated through the use of fat from rice bran and copra meal, not grain. This maintains a low nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) level and reduces the risk of hot and fizzy behavior often associated with elevated NSC. This copra meal horse mix provides cool energy from coconut oil, a saturated fat. Saturated fats have been shown to spare muscle glycogen in horses, the important storage form of glucose. Additionally copra meal is high in the amino acid glutamine which helps support the healing of gut tissue, an important benefit for performance horses at greater risk of developing gastric ulcers. As a complete feed, this mix is high fiber and is formulated to be fed without additional hay in the ration. Unlike hay, when fed as directed, this horse feed will provide your horse with all the necessary vitamins (like Biotin) and minerals insuring a balanced mineral profile for health and performance.
