Overweight

Excessive weight in horses manifests itself as a significant burden on the entire organism and has a detrimental effect on various body systems.

Excess weight puts considerable strain on the horse's musculoskeletal system. The bones have to bear more weight, which leads to increased stress on the joints and limbs. Over time, this can lead to signs of wear and tear, joint problems and hoof problems, which can impair the horse's mobility.

The heart, liver and kidneys are also susceptible to the effects of obesity. The excess fat that accumulates in the body can overfat these vital organs and permanently impair their function.

In addition to the physical effects, obesity can also have an impact on the horse's behaviour. The extra weight and difficulty in moving often makes the horse lethargic and sluggish, which in turn can reduce the quality of life and enjoyment of activities.

Careful weight control, a personalised diet and regular exercise are essential for overweight horses and ponies.

Our large selection of feed - including energy-reduced feed - will help you to find the right "food" for your favourite.

St Hippolyt Hesta Mix light Energy 20kg

St. Hippolyt Hesta Mix light energy was developed as a low-energy but vital substance-rich manger feed for very light-fed horse breeds with light work or maintenance requirements.The success storyIn 1998, a feeding trial at Hesta Borg Stud for special breeds developed into one of St. Hippolyt's up-and-coming feeding concepts for all horse breeds: Hesta Mix. With the help of examples from Icelandic horses, it was possible to recognise a connection between nutritional deficiencies and symptoms such as itching, eczema, immune disorders and psychological disorders. This was a ground-breaking finding in the optimisation of feed rations.Deficiency symptoms have many effectsWith a small amount of concentrated feed, many horses are already supplied with sufficient energy. However, the supply of vital substances can very often not be guaranteed with small quantities. Deficiency symptoms such as skin problems, allergies, weight loss, nervousness, inner restlessness, signs of wear and tear, susceptibility to infections, utilisation disorders, metabolic problems and hormonal disorders can have serious consequences.Particularly high trace element contentThe Hesta-Mix range is characterised by its high content of highly bioavailable micronutrients, so that even a small concentrate ration can be supplied with organically bound trace elements as required. Deficiencies can be quickly and reliably compensated for or prevented thanks to the reliable absorption via the intestine and the fact that they quickly reach the target organ.- Highly bioavailable trace elements- With herbs, seaweed, oils and oleaginous fruits- Can be combined with other cot feeds- Oat and molasses-free- Quick feeding success

St Hippolyt Glyx-Mash 15kg

St. Hippolyt Glyx-Mash is reduced in sugar and starch and free from cereals and molasses - a mash treat that is also interesting for metabolically derailed horses. A tasty and at first glance healthy reward after work - a juicy apple, a crunchy carrot, crusty bread, fresh grass or a fragrant cereal muesli - but be careful. Many of these rewards contain a considerable amount of sugar and starch. If fed in excessive quantities, blood sugar levels rise and the risk of obesity increases. But there is a healthy and risk-free reward without a guilty conscience. Glyx-Mash also enables allergic or grain-sensitive horses to enjoy a delicious mash meal. Like conventional mash, Glyx Mash also provides support during coat changes, convalescence or digestive problems, but without grain. A rich composition of prebiotic ingredients helps to harmonise intestinal function. The digestive processes are positively supported by carefully selected herbs. The mucilage in the cracked yellow linseed protects the entire digestive tract. The pressure on the intestinal walls is increased by the excellent swelling capacity of the ingredients and the elimination of foreign and harmful substances is supported. The stimulation of intestinal movement considerably simplifies evacuation. Glyx-Mash is used to support digestion, on rest days, during coat changes, after high performance or during convalescence.- Grain-, gluten- and molasses-free- Low glycaemic index- Prebiotic and detoxifying

Eggersmann Revital Cubes 25kg

If the vet diagnoses diseases such as laminitis, PSSM, tying-up or Cushing's disease, special feeding is required. The causes of such diseases are metabolic blockages of varying degrees. To a large extent, these are due to an oversupply of carbohydrates from cereals such as oats, barley, maize or spelt and the associated obesity of affected horses. Eggersmann ReVital Cubes are grain-free. The required energy is obtained from high-quality, high-fat and easily digestible rice bran. Energy that cannot be used by the horse, which is produced when cereals are metabolised, is not produced when feeding rice bran. Therefore, only a significantly smaller amount of feed needs to be fed to provide the horse with the same amount of digestible energy as when fed grain. Rice bran is also characterised by a low but high-quality protein content, which is supplemented by many essential amino acids in Eggermann ReVital Cubes. The high levels of vitamins and minerals are optimally adapted to a small amount of feed. A specially formulated herbal preparation can have a positive effect on metabolic processes.

St. Hippolyt Glucogard 10kg

St. Hippolyt Glucogard is a nutrient supplement for metabolic imbalances, supports insulin metabolism and contains natural antioxidants.Many horse owners face the challenge of correctly assessing their horse's energy requirements. An excessive supply of energy, caused by too much concentrated feed or fresh grass, can have serious consequences, especially for horses that are evolutionarily adapted to meagre living conditions. Constant overfeeding combined with too little exercise puts a great strain on the carbohydrate metabolism.A diet low in grain and carbohydrates is advisable for overweight horses and horses with metabolic disorders. The need for specific minerals and functional nutrients cannot be met by feeding only hay and straw. Glucogard not only provides a balanced spectrum of micronutrients, but also antioxidants and plant-based protective nutrients that counteract deficiencies.Natural nutrients from brewer's yeast such as B-complex vitamins and trivalent chromium as well as minerals such as magnesium, zinc and manganese are necessary for an optimally functioning sugar and insulin metabolism. Vital substances such as vitamin E and selenium protect against oxidative stress. This is particularly important for the hoof complex, which is at great risk in overweight horses. The plant-based protective nutrients contained in Glucogard support the health of the hoof complex in a natural way.- For nutrient supplementation in the event of metabolic imbalances- Mineral supplement during the grazing season and for pure roughage rations- Supports the insulin metabolism- With natural antioxidants
