Coping with Stress

Summer shows and competition can be stressful for your horse with the increased amount of travelling. Two supplements - Nomad and Attitude Adjuster - from Badminton Horse Feeds can help at these difficult times.

Nomad combines Magnesium and Potassium. Magnesium is known as an anti-stress mineral and appropriate levels will stabilise your horse's mood. Use Nomad to restore correct levels of magnesium in your horse's diet during travelling, competing or at times of stress. The horse does not store magnesium, so it's important that dietary intake keeps pace with the natural daily loss. Potassium helps maintain the water balance within cells, which is important for horses and ponies in hard work.

Badminton's Nomad is available in a 1kg tub and will provide magnesium and potassium in a most available chelated form. For the average 500kg horse, feed a total of 50g/day, ideally split between two feeds. A tub will last the average horse three weeks.

Attitude Adjuster is a careful blend of plant materials, homeopathic ingredients, chelated magnesium and probiotics to provide nutritional support during times of stress. It is ideal for horses suffering from non-feed related temperamental hypersensitivity and is free from drugs, chemicals and trytophan. It is also available in a 1kg tub.
