High starch racing diet recommended for horses in full training.

Saracen Veteran Mix is a high quality, highly digestible mix designed specifically for the needs of the older horse. Saracen Veteran Mix was the first diet specifically designed to meet the different requirements of the older horse

This latest Veteran Mix formulation now has a greater emphasis placed on the use of Saracen "Super-fibre" technology. "Super-fibre" sources contain a similar level of accessible calories to that of cereals. This enables the cereal portion of the recipe to be reduced and consequently the starch level of the diet is reduced. This helps to avoid the likelihood of any digestive disorders caused by high cereal based diets.

With the addition of high levels of vegetable oil combined with "Super-fibres" energy in the diet is made available to the horse slowly, thus helping avoid the fizz that can be associated with cereal based diets.

Veteran Mix also includes essential antioxidants such as Vitamin E. Antioxidants act to mop up free radicals helping the horse to maintain normal muscle function and decrease recovery time after exercise.

Providing optimal levels of antioxidants through Saracen Veteran Mix will ensure that the older horse receives the many benefits provided by the provision of antioxidants in the ration including; maintenance of normal metabolic systems and immune function, thus affording the veteran horse the best protection to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

Just the same as the original ration, the new, improved Saracen Veteran Mix contains the higher quality protein levels required by the older horse. Levels of vitamins, minerals and phosphorous are also increased. This high fibre, high oil diet, with the addition of four different herbs, remains as palatable and nutritious as ever.

Veteran Mash has been formulated to provide optimum nutrition to horses and ponies who have reached the age and physiological stage in their lives where they will benefit from specialist feeding and a higher calorie intake to maintain optimum body condition.

This high fibre, malted flavoujr daily mash benefits from the unique inclusion of Palatability plus taste technology, which is designed to encourage even the fussiest of feeders and help maintain nutritional intake.

Some of the most prevalent diseases identified in veteran horses include dental and respiratory disease, together with a loss of body condition due to reduced feed intake.

Priorities when feeding a veteran horse include the ease of feed availability, quality, quantity and palatability of the feed. The Saracen Veteran Mash formulation works on these principles, by offering a highly appetising complete feed to support condition, wellbeing and the signature Saracen shine.

The Saracen Veteran Mash will provide the essential nutritional requirements that are vital for more mature horses and ponies, and provides a fully balanced diet when fed alongside a suitable forage source or a forage replacement ration.

Veteran Balancer is a tasty muesli for older horses and ponies that are active and need to manage their weight. It is nutritious and helps maintain health and vitality.

It contains Palatability Plus flavour technology to encourage picky eaters and is coated with slowly digestible calories for energy. This is beneficial for older horses doing light work or active training without risk of metabolic disease.

The balancer contains digestible fibre for slow energy release and full-fat flaxseed meal for omega-3 fatty acids. Live yeast supports healthy digestion, while vitamins and minerals are balanced to complement the roughage diet.

This diet is suitable for older horses with a regular exercise programme that require fewer calories. It provides quality protein for muscle mass, coat and hoof health, while exercise reduces insulin resistance.

Incorporating the latest nutritional advances into equine feeding, including their own research into antioxidants and vitamin and mineral levels in pasture, Dodson & Horrell claims that Ultimate Balancer ensures your horse or pony as all the nutrients they need. It is ideal for topping-up natural vitamin levels in forage and for producing essential amino acids for overall health and muscle development.

Soya-oil and mint, a natural, non-heating energy source

Saracen Super Shine Plus is a human grade, highly refined soya oil supplement.

Adding soya oil into your horse or pony’s diet will help support optimal coat, skin and muscle condition. Soya Oil is a rich source of linoleic acid, a fatty acid essential for coat and muscle condition, seventeen times more concentrated than that found in fish oil ad three times more than is linseed oil.

Soya Oil is also a rich source of slow-burning natural energy, which supplies two and a half to three times more energy as an equal weight of carbohydrates. Your horse or pony will use this energy source first in preference to energy stored in their muscles, thus supporting optimum stamina levels and reducing recovery time after hard work.

Versatile and palatable short chop fibre feed

Super Fibre Mix is a versatile and palatable high fibre complete feed that can be used in many different situations, either as the sole complete ration or as a supplementary chaff or additional fibre feed. A range of herbs including mint and oregano help to maintain appetite in shy or fussy feeders.

The ration is based on high quality, dust free, short chopped forage sources and is blended with a low inclusion of micronized cereals to help maintain body condition and to support light work. It contains quality protein sources to help support cell renewal, tissue and muscle repair, thus making it equally suitable for horses in work and those that are recuperating.

It is fully fortified with a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals, so providing that it is fed at the minimum recommended feeding rate can be fed as the sole concentrate feed source. Super Fibre Mix now contains a live yeast and a natural source of vitamin E, which play a supporting role in maintaining normal digestive and immune function, particularly during periods of stress e.g. travelling, competing or sickness.

Saracen Super Fibre Cubes are an easily digestible, high fibre cube, which are suitable to be fed in a variety of situations. Their high fibre formulation makes them ideal for supplementing the forage ration of horses and ponies when forage is in short supply, or of poor quality.

Saracen Super Fibre Cubes are also suitable to be fed to horses and ponies that are sensitive to dust and moulds to help maintain optimum respiratory health. They can also be soaked to produce a mash that can be easily chewed for horses and ponies with compromised dental health or even to tempt the fussy feeder or to help maintain optimum hydration in performance horses.

The low starch & sugar content makes this product a suitable diet for horses and ponies that may suffer from digestive issues as well as those with more excitable temperaments.

High Quality Alfalfa for Extra Energy and Condition
Super Alfalfa contains high quality dried alfalfa and added linseed oil (5%). It is rich in proteins, fats and fibres, which makes it an ideal chaff to support performance and breeding horses in maintaining their condition and energy levels. Super Alfalfa also aids a healthy digestion and can help prevent gastric ulcers. Super Alfalfa can be fed alongside any regular complete feed or balancer. It can be fed to horses and ponies that are prone to laminitis thanks to its low sugar and starch content.

Linseed oil
Linseed has a general health-improving effect. It contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids (40-60%) and omega-6 fatty acids. These fatty acids help reduce inflammation and stimulate the immune system. Linseed oil also has a positive effect on gastric health and the digestive system. It helps treat arthritis and sweet itch and contributes to an easy shedding process and a healthy coat. Linseed oil is a source of additional energy and contains healthy quantities of phosphorus.

Stud Prep 14 is a multipurpose sweetfeed containing added oil and beet pulp, specially formulated for putting condition onto horses. This feed is ideal for horses bound for the sales ring. It will help them put on body condition evenly, and keep them manageable and level-headed in their work. The high levels of oils and ‘super-fibres’ provide extremely palatable calories, reducing the reliance on starch in the ration. As a result, horses are easier to handle and quickly become sleek and well-toned with excellent topline and muscle definition during their sales preparation.

Specifically formulated to be a versatile conditioning feed, Stud Prep 14 produces a dense ‘boost’ in energy over conventional sweetfeeds. Premium quality grains are blended with sugar beet pulp and soya oil, then fortified using Stamm 30® supplement for nutrient continuity so it contains BMC® (Buffered Mineral Complex). The marine-derived source of biovavailable minerals in BMC® can maximise bone density, and subsequent skeletal strength and maintenance, support gastric health and maintain hindgut stability.

giebalans.This feed is ideal for conditioning horses under stress, or for any horse with a poor appetite that is experiencing digestive difficulties. Broodmares can also benefit from this high oil formulation, particularly during lactation when energy demands are at their highest. Heavy milkers, and older mares that have problems holding their condition may find it easier to consume a more concentrated feed like Stud Prep 14 to prevent significant weight loss. Recent research has shown that regardless of birth month, mares that exhibited a negative energy balance post-partum (losing weight or negative daily weight change) had foals that did not gain as much weight in their first five months as foals from mares that were in a positive energy balance.

For broodmares and stallions, supporting fertility and foetal development Contains key amino acids and is nutritionally balanced for skeletal development.
