A nutritionally complete all-round feed, formulated for horses and ponies in light to moderate work of all disciplines.
Low in starch and low GI it provides calm sustained power. Rich in rice bran oil makes it an extremely cool energy ‘low fizz’ feed. Fortified with vitamins, minerals and fatty acids makes it great for health, strength and vitality.
(On an as fed basis)
May contain traces of oats, maize and soy, for this feed is made in the same mill as feeds containing these ingredients.
Rice and rice bran contain protein of high biological value, meaning good availability of amino acids for absorption. These include lysine which helps to improve protein efficiency for growth, muscle mass and topline, and methionine for hoof integrity, and helping maintain healthy skin and coat. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are an essential part of virtually all of a horse’s soft tissue. Insufficient quantities can result in weight loss and poor condition.
100% Australian wholegrain rice is gluten free and one of the best sources of digestible starch of all cereal grains, providing optimum energy for growth, work and maintenance. Rice based feeds have less risk of digestive upsets, for rice is almost entirely digested in the small intestine rather than fermented in the hindgut where lactic acid is produced. Using rice starch assists in reducing the amount of lactic acid produced, resulting in better performance.
Sourced exclusively from Australia. CopRice rice bran oil is energy dense and full of goodness including natural antioxidants gamma oryzanol and tocopherols, and omega 3, 6 and g fatty acids. It is a beneficial energy source that conserves glycogen stores during exercise to delay fatigue and improve stamina. Rice bran oil can help maintain appetite and is great for building topline and muscle definition.
Balanced ratios of macro-minerals, in particular calcium and phosphorus are critical for horse health. Calcium and phosphorus are essential for skeletal development, the maintenance of bones and teeth, aiding enzyme regulation and for energy production. Electrolytes including salt, potassium and magnesium, have an important role in balancing body fluids, aiding muscle contractions and maintaining nervous system health.
Micro-nutrients are part of most chemical reactions, helping to activate and mobilise vitamins, minerals, amino and fatty acids, transporting them around the body. Vitamin E is present in cells in the body, supporting immunity, cardiovascular, circulatory and neuromuscular functions. Vitamins A and 03 and E can benefit calcium absorption, wound healing and cell health. Water soluble B vitamins are vital for metabolism and energy production.
Rice bran oil is naturally rich in antioxidants gamma oryzanol and tocopherols, which help protect cells against oxidative damage, strengthen the immune system and may improve reproductive function. The combination of organic selenium and vitamin E results in a more effective protection of cell membranes against damage caused by stress, pain or intensive exercise, which improves the horse’s endurance capacity and performance.
Suggested Feeding Rate (Kg/Day)
| Body weight (KG) | Maintenance | Light Exercise | Moderate Exercise |
| 300 | 0.5 – 1.0kg | 1.0 – 1.5kg | 1.5 – 2.0kg |
| 400 | 1.0 – 1.5kg | 1.5 – 2.0kg | 2.0 – 2.5kg |
| 500 | 1.5 – 2.0kg | 2.0 – 2.5kg | 2.5 – 3.0kg |
| 600 | 2.0 – 2.5kg | 2.5 – 3.0kg | 3.0 – 3.5kg |
Suggested feeding rates to be used as a guide only. The amount of feed required will depend on the quality of the pasture/forage, exercise intensity, dentition, metabolism and condition of the horse.
