Winter Muscle Maintenance
Maintaining your horseโ€™s condition during winter can be challenging. With colder weather and reduced grazing, itโ€™s crucial to ensure your horses receive the proper nutrition to stay healthy and fit throughout the season.

We are pleased to introduce Equine Americaโ€™s More Muscle Pellets โ€“ the perfect solution to help your horses maintain their muscle tone and overall condition during the winter months.

Why Choose More Muscle Pellets?
Equine Americaโ€™s More Muscle Pellets are scientifically formulated to support muscle development during periods of intense training, rehabilitation work, sales preparation, or in underdeveloped horses of any age. Here are some key benefits:
Muscle Growth and Development: Supports muscle growth and development with key amino acids, including lysine and leucine, sourced from high-quality proteins like whey, spirulina, linseed, and soya.
Antioxidant Support: Contains important antioxidants, including vitamin E and selenium, as well as rosemary and grape extract, to support muscle function and health.
Enhanced Condition: Includes rice bran to provide additional oil-based calories to promote condition.
Gut Health: Contains probiotics to support gut health and feed utilization.

This amazing product contains cloves and frankincense so it smells great and really works for skin issues. Of course we have tried it on rashes, and scrapes and it heals them very fast.

๐ŸŒจ๏ธ Winter is here, and with it comes the dreaded mud fever. For those unfamiliar, mud fever in horses is similar to a person having chapped hands or lips โ€” the horseโ€™s skin can become very inflamed and sore. Pink skin under white hair is more sensitive, but dark skin can be affected too.

Symptoms: The skin becomes red, crusty, and scabby. Legs can swell, hair may fall off, and in severe cases, the horse can become lame.
Frustration: Many horse owners have experienced the frustration of mud fever, spending hundreds on remedies with little to no result.

NOPS stands for Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances; these are substances that are either naturally present within certain ingredients (such as salicylic acid in willow bark) or that occurs as a result of inadvertent cross contamination during processing before arriving at the feed manufacturerโ€™s facility (such as contamination with weeds e.g. deadly nightshade).

Prohibited substances put simply are substances that are not allowed in a horse and will result in a positive dope test. Although all NOPS are prohibited substances, not all prohibited substances are NOPS! Prohibited substances cover a wide range of substances that can come from a variety of sources including: human and veterinary medicines, food (e.g. cocoa, bakery products and sweets), drinks (e.g. tea and coffee or other caffeine-containing soft drinks), feeds, recreational drugs, and CBD supplements.

There are some differences between the prohibited substances lists and they can change so it is important to keep up to date with your regulatory body!

The BETA-NOPS logo can be found on all EA products and this is an assurance scheme designed to reduce the risk of NOPS in equine feeds and to display this logo the company must be accredited by BETA NOPS.

Our products are manufactured in licensed premises using quality-assured ingredients under strictly controlled production conditions and conform to the requirements of the relevant legislation governing the manufacture of animal feeding stuffs.

Equine America monitors for the presence of specified naturally occurring prohibited substances (NOPS) as required under the rules of racing and other affiliated competitions which are in line with BETA NOPS guidelines. Adherence to these guidelines ensures that the risk of occurrence of such substances is minimized.

Intense training and competition programmes can place considerable stresses on joints and muscles, especially at longer shows and events. Buteless High Strength Paste provides rapid-action support to help the horseโ€™s own anti-inflammatory processes and promote recovery after intense exercise, especially on hard ground!

(May be safely fed in additional to the normal daily provision of other products in the Buteless range)

What are the benefits of Buteless Super Strength Paste?

Boswellia - has been shown in both human and animal studies to support anti-inflammatory processes. Boswellia also provides antioxidants and other important phytochemicals to support joint health and comfort.

Yucca โ€“ provides important phytochemicals called polyphenols which are potent antioxidants, helping to protect against free-radical damage in joints.

Marshmallow โ€“ contains a number of compounds which are thought to support anti-inflammatory processes to help maintain joint and muscle health and comfort.

Equine America Hoof BalmTM is a super concentrated blend of natural oils that shine, moisturise and nourish the hoof, whilst still letting it breathe. These oils are beneficial to the health and nourishment of the hooves and enable the delivery of moisture and nutrients, deep into the inner layers whilst providing bacterial and anti-fungal support.

Equine America Hoof Balm is the ideal product to use all year round โ€“ in dry conditions, it provides excellent moisturising properties, whilst in winter it provides a water barrier against wet conditions while continually letting the hoof breathe.
