When choosing what supplements you are including in your horses diet, it is essential to make sure that: 1) What they say is in the bag is actually what's in the bag, and 2) There is reasearch supporting the fact that those ingredients actually do what they said they will. There are hundreds of options avalible, and very few meet both of those criteria. The following are what we use on our own horses and recommend to our clients.

EO-3 is a rich source of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA in a palatable liquid form. EO-3 can be fed to all classes of horses, including foals, breeding stock, and performance horses to improve the critical ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 in the diet, provide preferential precursors for production of local hormones, and regulate gene expression to positively affect insulin sensitivity. EO-3's minty apple is four times as palatable as the original. Along with a research-proven flavor, a more highly refined base oil eliminates compounds that can increase fish odors over time, without altering beneficial fatty acids.

Nano-E is a revolutionary natural (d-α-tocopherol), water soluble source of vitamin E for horses. Liposome encapsulation and nanodispersion confer rapid and superior bioavailability for all horses. Vitamin E is an essential component of body-wide antioxidant defenses and plays a vital role in immune, cardiovascular, circulatory, neuromuscular, and reproductive functions.
Race Recovery Paste and Powder are innovative electrolyte supplements designed specifically for horses given furosemide. Use of furosemide causes electrolyte loss and imbalance through increased urination. When coupled with the electrolyte losses that occur naturally with sweating, total electrolyte depletion can be significant following intense exercise. Without proper electrolyte replenishment, complete physiological recovery may be delayed, setting the stage for longer intervals between races. Race Recovery reduces the downtime between bouts of intense exercise by replacing key electrolytes, including calcium and magnesium. Research at Kentucky Equine Research (KER) found that horses given furosemide require additional supplementation following exertion to maintain optimal electrolyte balance. Provides horses exercised on furosemide with targeted electrolyte supplementation Includes highly digestible forms of calcium and magnesium, two key minerals Palatable paste and powder formulas ensure consumption
RiteTrac is a proprietary blend of ingredients designed to support total digestive tract health. Targeted to benefit both the foregut and hindgut of the horse, RiteTrac works in two distinct ways. First, with its combination of fast-acting antacids and coating agents, RiteTrac quickly neutralizes excess gastric acid, protecting the stomach lining and restoring the normal gastric environment. Second, RiteTrac contains EquiShure®, a time-released hindgut buffer designed to act within the cecum and colon by maintaining optimal pH, thereby reducing the risk of hindgut acidosis.

This daily probiotic formula provides both prebiotics and probiotics to support digestion and hindgut health. The prebiotics nourish the "good" bacteria in the gut, and support the digestion of fiber. The probiotics are important for maintaining proper pH levels, absorption of nutrients, feed efficiency and immune health.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Healthy Weight is supportive in many ways including allergy response, and skin, coat, gastric, and muscle health. For horses that need to gain weight, Healthy Weight provides calories in addition to forage. It is made from flax oil, a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it a healthy alternative to corn oil.
Platinum Joint Care Competition + HA supports healthy joints and also helps maintain the synovial fluid that lubricates the joints. This formula contains hyaluronic acid, as well as cetyl myristoleate, Boswellia serrata and vitamin C, and is in full compliance for horses in competition.
