🌿 Why give a feed supplement to a horse?
Horses, whether sport, leisure or retired, have specific nutritional needs. A classic ration composed of hay, oats or cereals is not always enough to cover their protein, fiber and essential fatty acid requirements.
Horse feed supplements help balance the daily ration, improve digestion, support muscle condition and strengthen general vitality. A natural and well-formulated supplement also contributes to deficiency prevention and equine digestive system health, essential for performance and well-being.
⚖️ Equi'Chanvre: a natural supplement for optimal equine nutrition
