Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best performance supplements for horses in regular work?

The best horse performance supplements for horses in regular work depend on their specific needs. Electrolyte supplements such as NAF Electro Salts or Foran Equine Equi-Lyte G replace minerals lost through sweat during exercise. For muscle support, Foran Equine Muscle Max Liquid provides amino acids and key nutrients. Horses needing an energy boost before competition benefit from Foran Equine Pre-Fuel Gel or Spillers Instant Energy Supplement.

When should I give my horse electrolytes?

Give your horse electrolytes before, during, or after strenuous exercise to replace sodium, potassium, and chloride lost through sweat. NAF Electro Salts and Foran Equine Equi-Lyte G are both suited to horses in regular work, competition, or long-distance travel. Always ensure free access to fresh water when supplementing with electrolytes.

What is the difference between pre-fuel and refuel supplements for horses?

Pre-fuel supplements such as Foran Equine Pre-Fuel Gel and Pre-Fuel Liquid are designed to increase available energy immediately before exercise or competition, supporting stamina from the start. Refuel supplements like Foran Equine Refuel Liquid and Refuel Gel are formulated for post-exercise recovery, helping to replenish energy stores and support muscle repair after intense work.

Do horse performance supplements benefit horses in light hacking as well as competition?

Yes, horse performance supplements benefit horses across all levels of work. Horses in regular hacking or schooling still lose electrolytes through sweat and benefit from muscle and energy support. A simple electrolyte such as Equimins Electro Salt or Science Supplements SafeSalt is a practical starting point for horses in light to moderate work.
