ULTIUM Competition Horse Feed is a special horse feed designed for top-performing horse athletes. Its high-energy quality comes from three main ingredients. Fat easily converts to energy on demand. Fermentable fiber causes the catalytic conversion of starch into sugar, as well as breaking down matter in the digestive tract. And soluble carbohydrates such as starch and sugar are indirect and direct energy sources, respectively.

Athlete Horse Feed is another feed designed to meet the high energy demand of competitive horses. Several years of research went into the development of this advanced feed formula. The Complete Advantage Horse Feed is also formulated for the special nutritional load of highly competitive horses.

The Equine line of horse feeds is meets the specific developmental and nutritional needs of horses at the junior, adult and senior levels. Equine Adult balances the nutrition of middle-aged horses that are not as physically active as competitive horses. Equine Junior meets the nutritional demand of developing foals, and Equine Senior supports the healthy nutritional balance in senior horses that have slower metabolisms and decreased physical activity.
