  • Omega-3 & Omega-6 Fatty Acids - Plus protein, B-vitamin biotin and balanced minerals support healthy skin, hair coat, hoof condition, and strong joints and bones.
  • Essential Amino Acids - Ensure that quality protein is available for continuous growth and maintenance of all tissue, including bone, muscle, hoof and hair.
  • Built-In Fiber - Fiber sources like soybean hulls, beet pulp and alfalfa meal support healthy hindgut fermentation and provide safe, natural calories.
  • ‘Cool’ Energy - Sequential energy release from fat and fermentable fiber provides lower starch calories to support energy demands and digestive health.
