Growth & Development​

The early years shape everything. Proper nutrition during growth is the single most important investment you can make in your young horse's future. Growing horses have significantly elevated requirements for protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to contribute to normal bone development, normal muscle formation, normal immune function, and normal organ development.

Our Growth & Development range covers five key areas of nutritional support: complete forage balancing — premium youngstock and hay-based balancers delivering vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in NRC-recommended ratios to complement grass and hay without excess calories; protein & essential amino acids — high-quality protein sources and limiting amino acids for normal muscle protein synthesis, normal bone matrix formation, and normal connective tissue development; essential fatty acids — omega-3 rich sources to contribute to normal coat, skin, joint, and digestive health during the critical growth phase; fat-soluble & antioxidant vitamins — contributing to normal bone development, normal immune function, normal antioxidant function, and normal muscle integrity; and B vitamins & energy metabolism — contributing to normal energy metabolism, normal nerve function, and normal nutrient utilisation in growing horses.

Get the foundations right now, and you set your horse up for a resilient, healthy, and active life ahead.
