for Peak Performance

feed performance horses in high levels of training and
conditioning. This feed is designed for horses in moderate to
high levels of training of 2-4 hours/day. It is a textured feed
with molasses that horses find very palatable. It contains a higher
starch level than other OTB Horse rations to meet the caloric demand
for peak performance.
The 12.5% protein level is
balanced with the essential amino acids including lysine which is
often the most limiting amino acid seen in horse diets. Lysine is
important to aid in the removal of lactic acid from the muscles and
reducing the potential of body soreness of the equine athlete.
Performance horses can
suffer increased levels of gastric stomach upsets due to a number of
reasons however the 12.5% Rider Horse Ration has buffers that assist
in reducing stomach acidity that can increase the risk of gastric
ulcers.

bloodstream.

How much should I feed?
“OTB”

at 9 - 15 lbs/ day (1100 lb horse*)

metabolic problems for the horse can be avoided if the horse is
fed more than once a day.

mineral with chelated copper, manganese, zinc and cobalt like the

horses since they are still growing
