Top products for your horse’s health.
Metabolic Supplement
Carrying too much weight may increase your horse’s risk for health issues, including Equine Metabolic Syndrome. SmartPak’s SmartMetabo-Lean provides comprehensive support for horses with EMS, which most commonly occurs in middle age and is characterized by obesity, laminitis, and insulin-resistance. SmartMetabo-Lean is designed to aid in insulin-resistant management and help horses achieve healthy weight as part of a veterinarian-supervised diet and exercise program.
Botanical Poultice
Finish Line’s EZ-Willow Poultice cools, draws, and tightens your sore horse’s ankles, knees, and tendons. The botanical, clay-based poultice is effective, easy to use, and safe for thin-skinned and white-legged horses. The poultice’s natural ingredients include Arnica montana, white willow, tumeric root powder, methyl salicylate, lemon balm oil, magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts), and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). The poultice aids in the temporary relief of minor stiffness and soreness of the feet and legs due to overexertion and can also be used as a hoof packing.
Low-Carb Feed
NuZu Feed’s Stabul 1 and Stabul 1 Plus equine diets—made by Anderson Feed Manufacturers and available on Chewy. com—are specifically designed for horses prone to being overweight or underweight, and prone to such conditions as Equine Metabolic Syndrome, insulin resistance, and Cushings’s disease. The low-carbohydrate feeds are formulated without molasses and contain less than 10 percent starch and sugar. The feeds are made with high-quality fementable fiber from soybean hulls, beet pulp, and alfalfa, probiotics, vegetable oil, flaxseed, and amino acids. Low-carbohydrate treats (Stabul Nuggets and Stabul Crumbs) are also available.
Skin Solutions
Help heal your horse’s skin and pamper his haircoat with Equiderma’s equine grooming and skin-care products. Neem Shampoo is designed to improve skin condition without stripping natural oils. After shampooing, strengthen, soften, and soothe your horse’s skin, haircoat, mane, and tail with Equiderma’s Neem Conditioner. The company’s antifungal, antibacterial Skin Lotion helps remedy scratches, sweet itch, ringworm, mane and tail rubbing, and other skin issues. Use the Zinc Oxide Paste as sun protection, as well as to treat scratches, greasy heel, dew poisoning, and mud fever.
