Chondroitin, glucosamine & MSM alone are not enough to resolve stubborn joint problems. Cavalor Arti Matrix fulfills the increased need for nutrients of the locomotor system in sport horses that engage in heavy efforts by improving suppleness in the joints.

Provides a unique and universal solution to problems associated with bone, capsules, tendons, cartilage and synovial fluid.

Indication for use:

Cavalor Arti Matrix is a widely used feed supplement in the top levels of equestrian sport. Practical research has shown that Cavalor Arti Matrix results in improvement of joint problems and incipient hoof strain. Cavalor Arti Matrix can be used when there is an increased need for specific nutritional elements for the locomotive system (in periods of deficiency caused by acute or structural problems).

Cavalor Arti Matrix works on several levels:

1. Provides the required nutrients for joints and synovia

2. The ingredient composition is optimized for effective nutrient transport

3. Stimulates the body's immunity status to fight against auto-immune reactions

Cavalor Arti Matrix is also used with:

- horses with a sensitive locomotive system.

- horses which are subjected to heavy workloads.

- nutritional deficiency or insufficient intake and/or synthesis.

As a result, the horse's body will benefit from having a wide range of essential substances at its disposal, enabling its locomotive system to rapidly return to a more normalized state.

Composition and safety of the product:

Cavalor Arti Matrix enriches the feed with an exceptionally wide-ranging supply of specific albumins that are well suited to the task they have to perform. Cavalor Arti Matrix contains glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid and collagen II. It also contains minerals, vitamins and amino acids that play a crucial role in building bones, cartilage, tendons, synovial fluid, etc. Due to the addition of omega fatty acids, important physiological processes are maintained and stimulated. Colostrum supplies small peptides with immunostimulating properties and growth factors. The presence of herbs and other elements completes this truly polynutritional food enrichment. Cavalor Arti Matrix fulfills the horse's increased nutritional needs quickly and effectively, giving a sustainable effect. We recommend that you consult a specialist before using this product. In consultation with the specialist, Cavalor Arti Matrix® may also be given over a longer period to enrich the feed.

Many medicines are based on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) that block pain. This can cause even more damage to the joint. With Cavalor Arti Matrix, there may appear to be a deterioration in the first few days. This is NOT deterioration but a necessary physiological change to ensure a rapid recovery after 14 days.

Dosage:

Ponies: 1 sachet per animal per day (=15 grams/ 0.53 oz)

Horses: 2 sachets per animal per day (= 30 grams/ 1.06 oz)

Competition horses: 3 sachets per animal per day (= 45 grams/ 1.58 oz)

For optimal results, double the dose during the first week. After the first administration, continue to give the product until full recovery is achieved, but at least for a period of eight weeks. Subsequently, if necessary, repeat the normal dose every six months for 30 days. Maximum dose per animal per day: 90 grams/ 3.18 oz (=6 sachets).

Calm

Cavalor Calm aids in the prevention of symptoms associated with stress.

Horses that perform well during training can lose their ability to concentrate owing to the stress of transport, the commotion and distraction of a different environment and the enervating events at competitions. As a result, they respond less attentively and sometimes do unexpected things. Stress caused by fear of the unknown also occurs in young or inexperienced horses during training, and they can react violently. Stress not only affects the horse's performance, but its condition, too. Avoiding stress is therefore very important. Apart from calming by the rider and/or groom and gaining sufficient experience, Cavalor Calm® may help to support those horses that need it.

CAVALOR CALM is a nutritional supplement based on herbs, having an anti-stress action but not making the horse unresponsive. CAVALOR CALM doesn't contain prohibited substances and has no negative effects on the liver and kidneys.

Cavalor Calm can be used with good results in:
- horses that are "spooky" in competition;
- horses that are too temperamental during training;
- horses that are susceptible to stress;
- stallions used as sport horses

Cavalor Calm is especially composed for horses that only exhibit "spooky" behavior at competitions and to a lesser extent for chronically nervous horses.

Composition and Safety of the Product
Cavalor Calm is a dietary feed based on herbs and contains elements that counteract hypersensitivity. Irritability through noise, light and shade, changes in temperature, unexpected movements, other horses, strange situations, etc. is counteracted by a calming effect that does not interfere with the ability to concentrate nor with motor function. Because Cavalor Calm® is strongly diluted, it has no secondary effects whatsoever: no residues and no adverse effects on the liver or kidneys.
Cavalor Calm contains: magnesium, tryptophan, herbs, vitamin B1, B6 and B12. Cavalor Calm® contains no substances that are prohibited in competitive sports.

Application
Each horse is an individual and therefore has individual needs. It is very difficult to determine an overall dose for a calming product. We recommend searching for the correct dose for your horse.

We advise a starting dose of 3 scoops per day (45g/ 1.59 oz), 2 - 3 days before an expected stressful situation.

Mix with the daily feed ration. This dose can be adjusted according to results produced. Can also be used for a longer period with a maximum of 4 weeks.

Reduce dosage gradually.

You may want to stop giving Cavalor Calm continuously to your horse, as habituation might occur.

Electrolyte Balance

CAVALOR® ELECTROLYTE BALANCE - Premium Line

Indication for use

When horses sweat, they may lose a lot of electrolytes and mineral that are necessary for the proper functioning of the body. As sweat in the horse is hypertonic, depletion of electrolytes and water are major causes of fatigue in endurance events. As a consequence of electrolyte depletion the horse may show a decreased condition and loss of performance. Recovery of the natural mineral/electrolyte/vitamin balance takes time, and if the deficiency of electrolytes due to severe sweating is considerable, the loss must be compensated. When using Cavalor Electrolyte Balance after a situation involving loss of electrolytes and minerals through sweating (heat, transport, exertion) the horse will remain fit for a longer period, will recuperate faster and more easily withstand longer periods of intensive training, competition and transport.

Composition and safety of the product

Cavalor Electrolyte Balance is a dietary feed that supplements these deficiencies. It contains a number of essential electrolytes (including sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium and calcium), as well as some important B vitamins. Other ingredients include essential amino acids and sugars (dextrose), which provide energy and promote the absorption of electrolytes.

Dosage

45 grams/ 1,59 oz mixed in the feed or dissolved in the drinking water per animal per day. Recommended use: right after a period of sweating.

Always provide unlimited access to fresh drinking water.

Maximum dose: 100 g/ 3,5 oz per animal per day.

Tip: Give your horse 45 g Cavalor Electrolyte Balance and 500 g of extruded cereals with 100 g dextrose within 30 minutes after a heavy effort for optimal recuperation and to have a fit horse the following day.

Digestive Aid Supplement

Why Use Equine Choice Probiotics?

Naturally horses are grazing animals. Their entire digestive system is designed to be eating about 18 – 24 hours a day. They have a very small stomach that contains digestive acids. Having evolved with a continual gut fill the stomach empties its contents into the digestive tract every 20 minutes. Grass, hay and forage act as a natural sponge for these acids preventing them from damaging the stomach lining and rest of the digestive tract. Also the constant chewing produces natural buffers (bicarbonates) to neutralize the stomach acid, ensuring normal digestion.

However, when we use these animals for athletics or work, we greatly alter the timing and content of the feed that enters their stomach. In order to supply the athlete with the energy to perform high energy feeds are fed in great quantities. This reduces the forage available to soak up the acids and oftentimes the total amount of the high energy feeds is greater than the acids can handle. Top this up with restricting diet intake times and we have a situation that has the potential to cause digestive upset.

Basically, in altering a horse’s lifestyle we compromise its natural digestive bacteria and process.

Equine Choice Pre and Pro Biotics restore and replenish digestive enzymes and bacteria, returning the horse to its healthy digestive process…naturally! Equine Choice also has gut healing amino acids, B-Vitamins and strong PreBiotics for natural digestive healing and health.

strive for balance and get it!

Equine Choice probiotics are a source of live, protected and reproducible yeast, plant digest, live enzymes and healthy bacteria which create and support a balanced and healthy digestive process. Equine Choice has enzymes that aid in absorption of starches, proteins, minerals and nutrients in the small intestine. Research has shown that these important nutrients are predominately absorbed here. It further ensures consistent PH in the hind gut, the cecum, and large and small colon for fermentation of fibre and roughage ingredients, and re-absorption of water.

It’s a complex route, but with Equine Choice as part of your regular feeding management you can be assured…

Appetite INCREASES!

Healthy Bacteria INCREASES!

Protein Utilization INCREASES!

Starch Utilization INCREASES!

Fibre Digestion INCREASES!

Performance IMPROVES!

Horse hoof quality is dependent on balanced nutrition, and the correct building blocks need to be present in the diet to ensure healthy hoof growth. Bio-Bloom™ promotes and maintains healthy skin and hooves through the inclusion of key nutrients at levels shown to improve hoof quality and speed growth as well as lecithin and essential fatty acids from full-fat soybean, ingredients that are necessary for production of resilient hoof horn and shiny coats.

KER EO-3

$85.95

Horses are often fed diets composed entirely of grain mixes and hay. Such diets are rich in omega-6 fatty acids but extremely low in omega-3 fatty acids. If vegetable oil is added to the ration, it further skews the ratio, with omega-6 fatty acids being overrepresented. To help counteract this imbalance, horses should be supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids, the richest sources of which are fish oils.

Kentucky Equine Research developed EO-3™, a potent marine-derived oil that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. EO-3 is a palatable oil that is top-dressed onto the feed. EO-3 contains the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. KER has shown EO-3 to be highly palatable when compared to other marine-derived oils.

EO-3 is intended to be fed to horses of all classes and working levels to improve the critical omega-3:omega-6 ratio in their diets.

Kick Up - 1L

$209.95

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Sometimes without any demonstrable reason, a horse may have a period of listlessness in both appearance and performance. As a consequence, the horse creates an impression of dullness. In these cases, the horse's body may need a special boost of nutrients. The nutrients in Cavalor Kick Up help boost your horse's physiological processes and therefore may revitalize and improve your horse's performance.

It is recommended to supplement Cavalor Kick Up in the evening before competition and in the morning of competition if the horse should be less fit.

Composition, application and safety of the product

The (liquid) dietary feed Cavalor Kick Up enriches the normal feed ration with easily and rapidly absorbed vitamins, minerals, amino acids and aromatic plant extracts. Thanks to the presence of these high-grade nutrients and their interaction, the physiological processes receive a boost. The results of Cavalor Kick Up are quickly noticeable. The horse appears revitalized and the performance improves rapidly.

Cavalor Kick Up is given to the horse 2 times a week in periods when there is a need for nutritional recovery and convalescence; it is also given every day in periods of greatly increased need (e.g., during a heavy competition season).

Dosage

Active competition horses: 50 cc/ 1,69 oz per animal per day

Ponies and recreation horses: 25 cc/ 0,85 oz per animal per day

Recommended period of use: give 2 times a week, sprinkled over the feed, until recovery is achieved (generally speaking, 7 to 10 days); or every day in periods of greatly increased need (competition season). Maximum dose: 100 cc per animal per day.

Vitaflora - 2kg

The intestinal tract ensures the absorption of all the necessary nutrients by the body. Its optimal functioning is therefore essential to health. By optimizing the intestinal flora, the maximum yield from the feed is obtained and the body's immunity is strengthened.

There are numerous factors that can disturb the intestinal balance such as stress, specific medications, concentrated feed, etc.

The colon is a very important component of the horse's digestion. The horse's natural diet is mainly roughage from grass and hay. Because we put higher demands on our horses, there is a need for concentrated feed in the form of grain mixes (high starch content). The small intestine often cannot completely process the digestion of starch, causing a portion of it to be pushed into the colon. There the starch is converted to lactate. This may lead to acidification of the colon, inhibiting the proper functioning of the micro-organisms, which results in a lower digestion of roughage and a reduced absorption of nutrients (especially minerals). This may lead to lowered disease resistance, reduced fitness and/or a colic susceptibility. Vitaflora 365 is a daily requirement to balance the absorption of nutrients, improve good development in young horses and maintain the condition of the sport horse.

Composition of the product

CAVALOR VITAFLOR 365 contains live yeasts and inulin. Live yeast supports bacteria using lactic acid in the colon, preventing acidification (lowering of the pH), ensuring that the micro-organisms present work under optimal conditions. This improves the digestion of crude fiber, the absorption of minerals and the production and absorption of B-vitamins. Thus, a higher yield from the feed is obtained and the incidence of colic decreases.

Inulin is a fructooligosaccharide (FOS), which belongs to the family of prebiotic compounds. These are nondigestible feed ingredients that beneficially affect the animal by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a number of species already present in the colon. As an indirect result, prebiotic administration inhibits some pathogenic bacteria to develop. Since inulin is not stored in the body, a daily application is necessary to "feed" these microbes to ensure their beneficial effect and protection against pathogens.

Dosage and application of the products

Sport horses: 30 grams/ 1.06-1.4 oz per day (3 measuring scoops)

Leisure horses and ponies: 20 grams/ 0.7-1.06 oz per day (2 measuring scoops)
