Recovery after exertion
Following heavy exercise or competition, a horse loses not only energy but also key electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium through sweat. These minerals are essential for muscle function, nerve transmission, and fluid balance. If these reserves aren’t replenished in time, it may lead to fatigue, stiffness, or even cramps. Products such as Cavalor An Energy Boost and EquiPur Elektrolyt Plus help restore these losses. They provide easily absorbable sugars, vitamins, and electrolytes, helping your horse regain energy more quickly.
Support for muscles and tissues
After physical effort, muscles can feel sore or tired, especially when the body has worked hard. A cooling gel like Sectolin Cooling Gel can stimulate blood flow and promote muscle relaxation, reducing the risk of strain. For deeper support of muscle and connective tissues, supplements such as Audevard Myostem Protec or Puur Myo can be used. These contain nutrients and antioxidants that help protect and repair muscle tissue. Combined with proper rest and nutrition, they contribute to a supple and resilient musculoskeletal system.
Wound and skin care
During play, training, or turnout, horses may occasionally get small wounds, scrapes, or skin irritations. Proper care keeps the skin clean and protected, allowing it to heal naturally. Products like Phytotreat Mellodermal Honey Ointment or Pet’s Relief Derm-10 have soothing and purifying effects. They form a protective barrier, keep the skin soft and flexible, and support healing while protecting against dirt, moisture, and insects.
Boosting the immune system
After illness, intense training, or surgery, your horse’s immune system may be weakened. The body has used up a lot of energy and may need additional support to regain balance. A product such as Hilton Herbs Equimmune for Horses is specially formulated to strengthen the horse’s natural defences during recovery or periods of low resistance. It provides nutrients that help restore strength and activate the immune response.
By giving your horse the right care and time, the body can recover calmly and return stronger, ready to resume training.
