A nutrient dense feed formulated to provide sustained energy for horses in moderate to heavy exercise including endurance, eventing, show jumping, dressage and racing.

It contains a high level of rice bran oil which increases the energy density of the diet and helps delay muscle fatigue. It is also rich in antioxidants including gamma oryzanol and tocopherols, which assist with post-exercise muscle recovery and repair.

  • Extruded for superior digestion
  • Rich in stabilised rice bran & oil
  • High in extra cool ‘no fizz’ energy
  • Source of essential amino acids

Nutrition That Stacks Up

Protein

Rice and rice bran contain protein of high biological value, meaning good availability of amino acids for absorption. Rice bran provides essential amino acids such as lysine which is vital for building muscle, and methionine which helps support hoof integrity.

Carbohydrate

Rice is gluten free and one of the best sources of digestible starches of all cereal grains. Rice based feeds are safer to feed with less risk of digestive upsets, for rice is almost entirely digested in the small intestine rather than fermented in the hindgut.

Rice Bran Oil

Sourced exclusively from Australia, CopRice rice bran oil is full of goodness including natural antioxidants gamma oryzanol and tocopherols, and omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. It is a beneficial energy source that conserves glycogen stores during exercise to delay fatigue and improve stamina, and is great for building topline and muscle definition.

Fibre

Fibre is the most important component of a horse’s diet aside from water. It is digested by bacteria in the hindgut to provide energy. It keeps horses feeling full and absorbs water to maintain hydration and improve endurance. Insufficient fibre can contribute to behavioural problems e.g. acidosis, gastric ulcers and colic.

Macro-Minerals

Calcium and phosphorus are essential for skeletal development, the maintenance of bones and teeth, and for enzyme regulation and energy production. Electrolytes including salt, potassium and magnesium, have an important role in balancing body fluids, aiding muscle contraction and maintaining nervous system health.

Micro-Nutrients

Micro-nutrients help to activate and mobilise vitamins, minerals, amino and fatty acids, transporting them around the body. Fat soluble vitamins A, D3, and E are more easily absorbed and stored when the diet contains oil. Water soluble B vitamins are vital far metabolism and energy production.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is present in cells in the body, helping support immune, cardiovascular, circulatory and neuromuscular functions. Natural vitamin E is a superior form, as it is more stable, has higher retention in the body, and has a much greater bio-availability than the synthetic version.

Organic Selenium

The organic form of selenium is incorporated into muscles more effectively and provides better nutrition over inorganic sources. Functioning as a critical component in antioxidant activities, selenium works with vitamin E to provide an effective defence system for cells against oxidative damage.

Feeding guide

  • Feed a minimum of 1% of your horse’s body weight daily with high quality roughage such as hay, pasture and/or chaff.
  • Total daily feed intake should be 2-3% of body weight, depending on age, workload and climate.
  • If feeding over 0.5% body weight per day of pellets, divide into two smaller feeds.
  • Ensure horses always have access to clean, cool and fresh water.

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.
