How to Feed Horses Based on Exercise Type

Keeping horses in show-ready condition requires time, effort and commitment. For competitive horses, matching their feed program to the type of exercise they are doing helps ensure their workouts are appropriately fueled.
In this video, Dr. Mary Beth Gordon explains how to support different types of exercise through nutrition, including:
- Aerobic activities like dressage, reining and endurance riding, which rely on fats and fibers.
- Anaerobic work, such as racing, cutting or 3-day eventing, which benefit more from soluble carbohydrates than fats.
- Supporting muscle recovery and maintaining weight, which are key for performance horses during the rigors of competition and training.

My Show Jumping Horse Eats Purina Omolene 400 and I also mix in Rice Bran. Rice bran has amino acids, and other good fats that support muscle gain. Its also great to add into the feed of hard keeper horses ,horses that need to maintain weight, or if you're trying to get a horse to gain weight. After Mixing The Purina Omolene with the Rice Bran everyone is always complementing us on our horse muscles, weight, skin, hair, hooves, etc. If you do add Rice Bran make sure to water it down a little so that all the powder doesnt stick to the inside of their throat.
