Q:
I have a 6-Year-Old Quarter Horse mare we just started on barrels but she seems to get stressed when we haul her to the shows. I am afraid that with the added stress and work she is doing, she may start to lose weight. I've been reading a lot about probiotics and thought about putting her on a supplement but would EQ8 be a better solution?
Thanks,
Kara from Illinois
A:
Yes! EQ8™ Gut Health is designed to work with your horse's digestive system to provide added prebiotic and probiotic protection against the risks of digestive upset. Also, the increased digestibility of the feed, high quality chelated minerals, and added fat and fiber will help her get the most out of her daily ration while minimizing the actual amount of grain fed per day. The reduced starch and sugar levels will definitely help with any nervousness or excitability when it comes to her performance as well.
