Horses, like humans, face their own challenges on a day-to-day basis, some of which they take in their stride but others can be a little more testing. The knock-on effects, otherwise known as stress reactions, manifest themselves in many different ways including:
- Excitability
- Stereotypic behaviour
- An uneven temperament
- Poor performance
- Gastric ulcers
- Poor appetite
- Weight loss
Fortunately feeding can help to manage these issues and Take Control, a pelleted dietetic feeding stuff, is the ideal choice for horses that find certain situations difficult to deal with. Designed to be fed 2-4 weeks before a change in situation or an event, Take Control contains beneficial magnesium, soothing herbs and a prebiotic, as well as other highly digestible ingredients, making it ideal to be fed to horses that may be affected by the following:
- Life on a busy, loud yard
- The questions asked of them during training and competition
- The break in routine caused by travelling
- A change in the management of their diet
Feeding Guidelines: Take Control should be introduced to the horse’s diet 2-4 weeks prior to a change in situation or an event. The recommended feeding amount should replace the same weight of normal concentrate feed.
Daily recommendation – 100g /100kg bodyweight. For example: Horse (500kg) – 500g /day
The recommended feeding amount should replace the same weight of normal concentrate feed. For example:
500kg horse in medium work typically fed 2.5kg of Staypower Cubes would be fed 2kg/day of Staypower Cubes and 500g/day of Take Control.
