[Cavalor Direct]( Details make the difference A minuscule difference – a few hundredths of a second – often means winning or losing in equestrian sport. The difference is in the details. As a top athlete, you are always striving for perfection. Both you and your horse, giving everything at the right moment. In this article, we delve deeper into the specific needs of top sports horses. And we’ll discuss the products in our “High Performance” line. Horses have enormous athletic ability and are capable of incredibly strenuous work. It is important to understand the pressure exerted on your horse’s body when it is performing at its best. The physical impacts can be enormous. There is energy that must be released quickly, there is pressure on the muscles and joints, and toxins that need to be eliminated. Top performance is the result of many internal processes happening simultaneously. High level performance For a horse to perform, it needs energy, protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and water. This basic foundation gives the horse’s body sufficient energy to function at rest and/or in light work. Horses that perform harder work, especially at high levels, need something extra. The difference is in the details: The right energy High quality protein (with good amino acid composition) Extra vitamins Top performance is often defined as performing at top levels of competition. Nothing could be further from the truth. Top performance in horses means that they are working at a level that is challenging for them. This kind of work demands extra effort from their bodies and increases their need for certain nutrients, for example antioxidants that protect the organism from overload, or B vitamins that support energy metabolism. What’s different about a horse that has to work at the top of its game? Performance is an individual matter, so let’s discuss why some horses need that little bit extra. Strenuous work causes friction in the joints, resulting in micro-tears in the tissue. These in turn can cause changes to the synovial fluid and lead to lameness. Overload causes oxidative stress in the muscles and joints. The free radicals released in the process must be neutralised so that they cannot cause damage such as diluted synovial fluid, resulting in friction in the joint. This can lead to damage to the cartilage. Horses need energy to perform. Good nutrition is essential for energy, but also for metabolism, blood circulation, and the lymphatic system, all of which are important for performance Stress and nervousness can have negative impacts on performance. Make sure that your horse is focused and relaxed! Hours of travel followed by days of competition can take a toll on the immune system. A lurking infection can be an invisible impediment to your horse’s performance.
