Performance horse nutrition

Performance horse nutrition focuses on providing balanced, high-quality feed to support a horse’s energy, stamina, and recovery needs during intense activity. It involves supplying adequate carbohydrates for energy, proteins for muscle repair, fats for sustained fuel, and essential vitamins and minerals for overall health. Proper hydration and electrolyte balance are also crucial, especially after sweating. Feeding strategies may include tailored hay, grains, and supplements, adjusted based on workload, age, and condition. The goal is to optimize performance while maintaining health and preventing metabolic issues, ensuring the horse performs at its best and recovers efficiently.
