HARD WORK
Hard work tends to include those at the top of their sport, including full race training, hunting two days a week, high goal polo, eventing (CCI3*, CCI4*), dressage (grand prix), endurance (open and advanced level). Feeding strategy
Horses in hard work will require significantly more energy to fuel the higher demands of exercise, meaning the ratio of compound feed to forage will often need to increase. However, forage intake shouldn’t be compromised in favour of energy intake as this could adversely affect digestive health. Look for medium- to high-energy feeds and for those whose appetite is affected due to their fitness level, choose an energydense high-oil feed.
