Managing Stress and Digestive Health in Performance Horses

 

Performance horses face numerous stressors, from intense training to travel and racing. These stress factors can have a significant impact on their digestive systems, leading to a myriad of problems and poor nutrient absorption. Stress weakens the gut lining and disrupts the delicate balance of the hindgut microbiota, which creates discomfort and affect the horse’s performance often through temperament issues, stereotypies and a reluctance to work to their best.

Managing stress through proper care and nutrition is key, and one of the most effective ways to support your horse is by maintaining their digestive health. The SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program™ helps reduce the impact of stress on the gut by supporting the health of the gut lining, enhances digestion, and aids in the absorption of essential nutrients, keeping horses comfortable, healthy and ready to work.

By incorporating SUCCEED into your horse’s routine, you can help them cope with the rigors of training while supporting their long-term health and well-being, which can make all the difference when it comes to the sales or the track.
