How Proper Equine Nutrition Influences Your Horse’s Health & Performance
Did you know that nutrition can be one of the most important factors influencing your horse's whole-body health and performance? Choosing the right nutrition plan can impact your horse's level of systemic inflammation, their body condition, energy level, digestive efficiency, immune health and even impact the health of their joints.
What Should I Be Feeding My Horse?
As a general rule, nature knows best. Horses evolved as grazers, relying on fresh grasses, plants and barks to get the vital nutrients their bodies need, including omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and trace minerals. Today's domesticated horses are often stalled and fed meals of hay, grains and concentrates.
Horses thrive on a diet of high quality forage with grains and concentrates kept at a low to moderate level.
Is Supplementation Necessary?
Over time our soil has become depleted of many important nutrients, and although fresh hay is still the best source for these nutrients, it is still lacking. As hay is cut and stored, its level of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants plummets, making the right supplementation necessary to give your horse everything it needs to thrive.
We recommend Platinum Performance® Equine Formula as a well-rounded, balanced source of quality nutrients to support your horse's overall health and performance. If your horse needs additional digestive support, try Platinum Performance® GI, and for additional therapeutic joint support, choose Platinum Performance® CJ.

Why Schedule an Annual Wellness Exam?
Annual Wellness Exams are an opportunity for you and your veterinarian to connect on your horse's health and performance. This important time gives your veterinarian the chance to spot potential issues before they become major concerns, and to recommend the best plan for keeping your horse in excellent condition and performing to their full potential.
The Importance of Veterinary-Directed Vaccinations
Vaccinations may seem routine, but they are potent medications best given and directed by a veterinarian. Your veterinarian can recommend the right vaccine schedule for your horse's individual needs and risk factors, and also ensure that your horse receives the correct dosage and any necessary follow-up.
"One of the best ways to treat a horse is to prevent a problem in the first place. Regular wellness care is crucial for keeping horses healthy and performing, and that includes everything from routine vaccinations to dental care and the right nutrition."
