International eventer Sam Watson is as excited about RED MILLS Define & Shine as we are!
Define & Shine is ideal supplement for horses requiring extra calories for weight gain & additional support for muscle and topline development.
ARE YOU READY? Pre-Fuel and Refuel from Foran Equine is the ultimate performance and recovery combo!✔️Pre-Fuel Gel is formulated to support energy and muscle function prior to hard exercise or competition✔️ Refuel Gel is designed to be given afterwards to encourage recovery by rehydrating and aiding muscle repair. Both are available as a liquid or as an easy to use syringe on the day of competition.
These two RED MILLS team riders are representing Denmark in the CSIO 5* Longines Nations Cup in Rotterdam today! Good luck to Rehoff Horses and Hallundbaek Stables and of course to the rest of the team - Søren Møller Rohde and Kasper H. Hansen 🤩BTW - approximately a third of the riders in the Nations Cup feed their horses with RED MILLS.
DO YOU KNOW the benefit of each ingredient in horse feed? Looking at the ingredients lists on the back of the bag can be confusing! The last two week we have made a series of posts focusing on the ingredients Connolly’s RED MILLS use in their feed and what nutrients they provide your horse with. If you go back through our resent posts you will find these subjects;✔️Protein✔️Highly Digestible ‘Super’ Fibres✔️Wholegrain Cereals✔️Fats & Oil✔️Sugar✔️Vitamins & Minerals✔️Beneficial Ingredients
FATS & OIL IN FEED Oil tends to be highly digestible and contains more than double the amount of calories than an equal weight of cereals. Therefore, it is a very useful alternative ‘slow-release’ energy source when trying to decrease starch intake. Oils and fats also help promote the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients, such as vitamin E, and aid coat and skin condition. Connolly’s RED MILLS use the following: ✔️Soya Oil: This is one of the most popular vegetable oils used in horse feed and contains both omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.✔️Linseed Oil: An excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids; with their well-known health benefits.
WHOLEGRAIN CEREALS
Wholegrain cereals provide an important source of energy, primarily in the form of starch, for many horses. In addition, they also provide small to moderate amounts of fibre, protein, and oil. The horse cannot digest raw cereals very efficiently and feeding them can result in digestive problems such as colic. At RED MILLS state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, we cook all our wholegrain cereals using double pelleting or steam flaking. This breaks down the starch molecules, a process known as gelatinisation, to ensure maximum digestibility.
RED MILLS use the following wholegrain cereals:
✔️Oats: Have been fed to horses for hundreds of years and are included in some of our feeds as a highly digestible source of energy. Oats are also reasonably high in fibre and fat, compared to other cereals. We also have a number of feeds that do not include oats for horses needing an oat-free diet.
✔️Barley: Traditionally fed to promote condition as it is an excellent source of calories.
✔️Maize: A high starch grain that provides more energy compared to oats or barley.
✔️Wheat: Has one of the highest calorie contents of all the cereals and is a very useful source of energy.
HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE “SUPER” FIBRES
Super fibres provide a greater quantity of calories than typical forages and are a useful source of ‘slow-release’ energy. This makes them an ideal ingredient where calories are required, but starch intake needs to be limited. Ingredients that provide ‘super’ fibres include:
✔️Soya Bean Hulls: This is the outer husk of the soya bean and is an excellent source of super fibres.
✔️Sugar Beet: Once the sugar has been extracted, sugar beet pulp provides a rich source of highly digestible fibre.
✔️Alfalfa: Can be ground and included in a pellet or simply dried and chopped. It is high in fibre and contains other nutrients such as protein and calcium.
✔️Wheatfeed: Consists of the hull, bran, and endosperm of wheat. It is relatively high in fibre and also contains some protein and oil.
PROTEIN - BENEFIT IN HORSE FEED
Many different sources of protein are found in horse feed, and they’re not all equal. Protein consists of amino acids, which fall into two types: “essential,” which must be provided in the diet, and “non-essential,” which may be created by the horse’s own body. Protein quality is judged by the proportion of essential amino acids that the protein source provides.
Protein has many functions in the body and is key for muscle development, growth and recovery.
Forage will provide some protein but breeding stock, youngstock and performance horses will usually need higher levels. Contrary to popular believe protein isn’t responsible for causing excitable behaviour, laminitis, tying up or growth problems in youngstock. Ingredients that provide good quality protein include:
Soya Beans: The best source of quality vegetable protein and rich in essential amino acids such as lysine. RED MILLS carefully grind and cook all soya beans before including it in the finished feed. This is essential because raw soya contain a specific enzyme that blocks the action of trypsin, an enzyme needed for protein absorption.
Soya Bean Meal: This is produced when soya oil is extracted from soya beans. Soya bean meal is recognised as an excellent source of high quality protein and essential amino acids.
Sunflower Seed Meal: Contains high levels of quality protein and good levels of essential amino acids.
Alfalfa: A highly digestible fibre and an excellent source of good quality protein.
Other ingredients that contribution to your horse’s protein intake include cereals such as oats and barley and wheatfeed

The next 2 weeks we will explain what ingredients Connolly’s RED MILLS use, and what nutrients they provide your horse with.If you have any questions or a specific ingredient you want to know more on about - please let us know!
