This is our broodmare Classie.
A Standardbred broodmare we took on as a rescue 2 years ago. She is 16yrs old, she had 31 starts , retired from racing and has since had 7 foals, currently has a foal at foot.
She is absolutely looking the perfect picture right now. Considering during winter we thought she was on her last legs. She looked worn out and lacked any energy.

She is coming up 3 months on Main Vitamins & Trace Minerals and we are blown away by her condition and the energy.
She's on a super basic hard feed of just Grainfree and lucerne chaff, moved off Haylage to now having Meadow hay morning and night.

She's looking the best we have had her.

My back yard

What a cracker of a sunny morning in Canterbury after a cold, wet night.
Took the opportunity to get rugs off the horses and get some spring coat snaps. Still malting winter coats but heading towards lovely, soft summer coat 😍

Our horses at home have now been a good couple months on the Main Vitamins & Trace Minerals.

Meet our Equine family - unfiltered, dirt n all..

🐎 Classie; 15 yr old, my husbands standardbred broodmare who come from a rescue situation with a foal at foot. She has been with us 2 years and in that time produced a feisty wee filly, Vega.

🦄 Brown/white, 16.1hh, mare, Clydie cross, my spirit horse Boo. She was the reason for my journey with nutrition. At 3.5 years old she was dignose with sever respiratory disaease. She was under long term vet care, with a final dignoses of having no future.. insert meeting Emma Kay and a crash course on nutrition and anti inflammatory diets. 8 years on the learning hasn’t stopped.
She ( Boo) is now 12yrs old.

🐎 Black/White, 15.1 hh gelding, Crossbreed, Mylarky. I got him 4 yrs ago as a 13 yr old to be a paddock mate, he had had a lengthy period away from ridden work. With an unexpected twist he is my number one ride and lovely Show Hunter.

🐴 Bay/ TB 6yr old gelding, Jake, I bought him for his wonderful floating movement and my replacement once Mylarky retires. Off the track 18 months.

Bone Disease & Deficiencies.

Today's case study.
23yr old, Tb .. recently dissected in Australia.

Is this:
Osteoporosis; a condition in which bones become weak and brittle.
or
Periodontal Disease; one of the most painful conditions that can occur in a horses mouth.
Or
Oxalate Grasses ( Tropical Grasses)
Horses grazing tropical grasses in Australia can suffer from big head and bone weakness. These grasses bind up Calcium and Magnesium and stop them from being obsord making horses nutrient deficient.

* NZ owners, Nrth Island has Kikuyu grass, (tropical grass). Something to be aware of.

These photos have been sent to assisting vetinarians for their input to the diseased state of this jaw.
No conclusion was confirmed.

We can agree this is not a positive outcome for this horse either way.

Jaw function
HORSES MUST CHEW
Chewing and grinding food is essential for equine survival.
High fiber diets have been shown to generate extra saliva which produces potassium, calcium (electrolytes) & bicarbonate.

* Chewing is instrumental to the horse’s digestion as grinding serves two purposes.
1) to grind the feed down to small particles and to generate salivation. In a horse, salivation is not initiated from smell or taste, but by the physical action of grinding the teeth.
2) For proper digestion and utilization by the hindgut microbes the feedstuffs must be properly chewed and ground down into fine particles.

We encourage a good quality suppliment given daily to Restore, Build and Maintain body development.

Bones and Nutrition 🦴

Providing the building blocks of healthy bone through optimised nutrition.

Bone tissue - compact or spongy - is continuously active and subjected to perpetual remodeling throughtout a horse's life.

The two scapulae (shoulder bones) displayed in this video were processed around the same time and cleaned in the same method for their use in presentations.

Scapula one - 24yr old Appolossa sport horse. Description of the scapula bone would be: oily, heavy, solid.
The oily content of this bone comes from the yellow marrow inside. This fatty tissue contains the stem cells that produce the body's connective tissues like fat, cartilage, muscle, and bone cells. I consider this to be a healthy example.

Scapula two: 7yr old Tb off the track.
Description of the scapula bone: fragile, brittle, light.
I consider this to be in a weakened state, depleted in nutrients.

You can help develop bone strength and restore bone integrity.
Daily nutrients, healthy levels of excerise and physical therapy - via massage, stretches, and low physical impact therapies that stimulates blood flow - are all building blocks to internal restoration.

My intention through this video, is to demonstrate and discuss bone integrity from a nutritional point of view.
There are obvious malfunctions in these bones that stem from other issues, be it genetic or man made.
Their journey to this point become learning opportunities for us.
They all have a story 💙

Why use our Vitamins and Trace Minerals
Some background:

This recipe is born from years of experience in the Equine nutrition industry. Emma Kay has dedicated 30 years to Equine nutrition, 25 years of that time specialising in grass-affected horses.
Emma has already produced a successful range of equine products which she passionately worked on for many years.
I met Emma by chance when my own horse desperately needed help whilst suffering from respiratory disease.
Emma's knowledge and products remarkably saved my horse when our veterinarian options had run out. From that point I have been a student of her knowledge and for 9 years have advocated the importance of a basic fibre-based diet (anti-inflammatory diet) with quality supplements.

From all this experience and knowledge - we bring you a product we believe provides excellence in horse health.

Our point of difference:
Importance of Vitamin B.
The body does not store Vit B. It's important to provide Vitamin B to support and maintain physical, emotional and mental balance.

Vitamin B provides postitive energy, immune system support, nervous system support, cell function & production, healthy tissue production and repair, balance to brain function.

B Vitamin plays an important role in metabolism & synthesis of red blood cells.

Selenium - information has shown 1mg as a daily dose is best way for horses to maintain a healthy level of Selenium.

This product has a focus on optimal levels of Zinc & Copper - both essential micronutrients.
Zinc - key player in supporting essential functions.
Copper - its superpower as an antioxidant. Also integral to bone and connective tissue.

Collectively all the ingredients in our product have been well thought out, drawing from years of experience in nutrition.

No additives
No fillers
High-grade ingredients
Bioavailable

Note: dose rate 15gms per 500kg. We encourage accurate dose weighing to accommodate your horse's weight.

If feeding pre-mix bag feeds or other supplements please check your daily nutrition rates combined.
Overdosing in certain supplements can have negative consequences for your horse.
This product is designed to provide daily levels of the essentials.

For best results and for the health of your horse, We encourage a simple feed, example; a mash or chaff as a consumable carrier for your Main ERN supplements.
