Equine

The connection between horses and humans is 5,000 years old and still as strong today.

 

Horses have played a pivotal role in the evolution of societies across the world. In the modern world, this appreciation stretches from recreational riding to racehorses.

The horse stomach is a particularly sensitive environment. Polygain can support the gut health of horses which has an overall positive impact on the condition, feed digestion and coat.

Hear from one of the many happy horse trainers who use Equigain as leading trainer Danny ‘Obrien takes you through his horses' experience with Equigain.

Support with key challenges

  • Positive Microbiome Shift

    Positive Microbiome Shift

    A measured shift in the gut microbiome towards converting more energy from the feed to provide fuel for the horse. Many horse owners have reported that undigested grains are no longer present in droppings.

  • Improved Appetite

    Highly palatable for horses. Racehorses that have gone off their feed often quickly recover their appetite when taking Equigain. Many go on to increase their rations by 2 or 3 kg.
