Purina Race Ready Horse Feed

ENERGY DEMANDS in the racehorse are extremely high, so the delivery of additional calories becomes paramount. This additional digestible energy must be provided in a manner that maximizes performance while helping to maintain digestive tract health and function. That’s where Purina Race Ready Horse Feed comes in.

Race Ready is designed to deliver a large amount of energy to these hard-working athletes, while addressing digestive tract concerns by distributing the calories over several sources (vegetable oils, digestible fiber such as beet pulp, high quality natural grains and molasses). Research has shown that the utilization of vegetable oils and highly fermentable fibers, such as beet pulp, can be of benefit to the hardworking equine athlete.

Feeding Directions

Start with the amounts given for the weight and class of horse. After observing the horse, the amount fed may be increased or decreased by 10% to maintain the desired body condition. Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed one pound per day for each horse. Always feed a minimum of 1% of body weight of good quality, clean hay or pasture. Salt should always be fed free-choice to all horses.
