🔦Feed Spotlight and Special!🔦�
In collaboration with Dunstan Horsefeeds, we're putting the spotlight on one of their premium feeds this month: Dunstan Move Free.
Formulated with performance and physiology in mind, Dunstan Move Free combines low starch, high fibre, and high fat ingredients with advanced antioxidant technology to support muscular health, digestive function, and settled behaviour.
This is what both my orange kids run on year round. What makes me choose Move Free? Let me run you through it!
🧬 Key Nutritional Features:
1. Super Fibres (Beet Pulp, Soya Hulls, Lupins):�These low-starch, high-fibre ingredients provide a “cool” energy source without relying on cereal grains, making the feed suitable for horses with sensitivities such as:
Exertional rhabdomyolysis (tying-up)
Gastric ulcers
Hindgut acidosis
Behavioural reactivity associated with high-starch diets
Additionally, recent research has suggested that low-starch diets can help moderate the stress response in horses. Lower heart rates and cortisol levels have been observed in horses on reduced-starch feeds, particularly under stimulation or training stress, compared to those on high starch diets.
2. Virgin Canola Oil:�A dense energy source with a favourable Omega 3:6 ratio, supporting anti-inflammatory processes and maintaining condition in high-performance horses.
3. Vitamin E (Natural, Bioavailable Form):�Included at elevated levels, this critical antioxidant improves muscular function and recovery. Natural Vitamin E is more bioavailable than synthetic forms, ensuring efficient uptake and utilisation — especially important in horses with limited access to fresh pasture.
🧪 Antioxidant Innovation: Melofeed® + Alkosel®
A key differentiator in Dunstan Move Free is the inclusion of Melofeed®, a natural source of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) — a primary antioxidant enzyme that reduces oxidative stress at the cellular level.
Oxidative Stress occurs when free radical production (a by-product of normal energy metabolism) exceeds the body’s antioxidant defences. In equine athletes, chronic imbalance can compromise:
Muscle membrane integrity
Joint cartilage
Respiratory health
Post-exercise recovery
In Move Free Melofeed® works synergistically with Alkosel® (organic selenium yeast) vitamin E and Chromium, which aids in lactic acid reduction, to form a dual-action antioxidant system, protecting muscle and joint tissues from oxidative damage, helping to delay fatigue and improve endurance.
All this goodness in your horses feed bucket without any additional supplementation AND its on special! How good! 😎 Usually $66.90 but on special this month for $57.00! 💸💸💸💸
