Case Study: Lacking Energy?

Luca is a 17hh 8 year old Warmblood show jumper, who has been owned by Carly since he was 3 years old.  This year Luca has qualified for the Foxhunter regional finals which take place over three rounds.  With only three opportunities to qualify for the finals at HOYS Carly contacted the Dengie Feedline as she was concerned that Luca lacked energy.

Suggested Ration:

• 1kg  Alfa-A Original (approximately 2.5 large round scoops) per day
• 2.5kg Fibremix Max (approximately 2 large round scoops) per day

Alfa-A Original combines pure alfalfa with a light molasses coating and has an energy (calorie) level comparable to a low energy mix.  Alfa-A Original was suggested to help ensure Luca is receiving a good source of digestible fibre that provides a source of slow release energy to help with stamina.

Fibremix Max is a unique high energy coarse mix that combines micronized cereals, including Naked Oats with digestible fibre and oil.  Fibremix Max is the only high performance feed to contain Equiflora ProSoothe pH, a combination of yeast, probiotics and other ingredients designed to maintain a healthy digestive system.  Fibremix Max was suggested to provide Luca with a balanced diet whilst supplying the additional energy he requires.

After two weeks of changing Luca's feed, Carly was so pleased with the results she sent us an e-mail to let us know.  The e-mail was entitled "Go Go Juice!".

Carly said; "I've just ridden Luca for the second time today, gave him a jump and WOW!!!  So much energy but not stupid in any way!  I think this feed is miles ahead of his old mix.  I can't wait to do my Foxhunter second rounds now - will need as much fuel in the tank as possible!"
