Feeding Recommendations
·Feed as either a top-dressing or as main energy source.
·Add to ration just before feeding.
·Feed in a wet or dry ration
·Can be fed as a warm mash to encourage a fussy or poorly horse.

·Always introduce new feeds gradually.
·Ensure the horse always has access to clean, fresh water.
·Ensure the horse has adequate amounts of fibre in the diet.

NOTE - It can take 6 to 12 weeks for the horse to fully adjust to using oils as the main energy source, and also to begin to reverse a loss of condition.

For Condition

Feed as for Maintenance for a show ring gloss

Feed as for light work for improved body condition

If a greater increase in body condition is required, such as in elderly or under-nourished horses, start feeding at a maintenance level, and slowly increase up to medium work level until body condition begins to improve, and then reduce again gradually until maintenance level and optimum body condition are reached.
