Equine Products

Equine Products are a British company that have been manufacturing quality supplements for horses as well as horse care products from their base in the north east of England for four decades. Their small team takes great pride in delivering horse supplements that really work, and with their transparency of ingredients and how they work, customers know exactly what they are feeding their horse. Using premium ingredients at quantities that are effective, Equine Products have gained a reputation for producing supplements that produce visible results at value-for-money prices. Their first aid and horse care products are of the same quality, made with the best ingredients to simply deliver results.

At Houghton Country we understand the importance of ensuring all of your horse’s nutritional needs are met, and sometimes horses and ponies require a supplement to add nutrition to their diet which is perhaps lacking in their forage and feed. We are proud to be Equine Products stockists so we can ensure it’s easy to make sure your horse has all the nutritional support they need. There are supplements available from Equine Products to support every aspect of the equine system, including those intended to support the joints, respiratory and digestive systems – some of the most common systems that sometimes need a little extra support.

Equine Products supplements are intended to support every horse’s needs, and, as indicated by their name, they specialise in supplements exclusively for horses and ponies. The supplements are made from the best ingredients available at the most concentrated quantities, which is very important to ensure value for money; because the vital ingredients are so concentrated, smaller amounts of the supplement can be fed in comparison with some others brands’ supplements, meaning the product lasts longer and you see results at a lower cost. These supplements can help performance horses work to their best, supporting the systems that are put under strain when a horse works; support a leisure horse to feel their best and help to ensure longevity; and keep an older horse in good health as their bodies start to require a little more day-to-day support. Many professionals, from veterinarians to physiotherapists and equine dental technicians, recommend supplements from the Equine Products range for the results that they can deliver.

The manufacturing process of the Equine Products range guarantees the purity of the product in a number of ways. The raw materials that make up the supplements are tested by an official FEI accredited laboratory in Paris prior to their release into the production process. This testing ensures the raw materials are what they say they are, allowing Equine Products to then brand the product as legal for competition under FEI and/or National ruling. All of Equine Products supplements are made at an approved EU manufacturing site, licensed under the EU Feed Hygiene Legislation. Requirements of this licensing include having a testing programme for Heavy Metals, Dioxis, Active Ingredients and Analytical Constituents. Moreover, the testing and daily procedures carried out by Equine Products UK Ltd are based around a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), which is a management system in which food safety is addressed.

The fact that Equine Products manufacture their products in coherence with these guidelines is a testament to the purity of the ingredients that make up their range as well as the quality of the manufacturing process. Their manufacturing process should give customers peace of mind that they are feeding their horse pure raw materials which are then processed in a way that guarantees safety. These materials are chosen for their effectiveness on the desired aspect of the horse’s health, and so by feeding Equine Products, you are feeding to directly target the part of the equine system that needs support.

Feeding the right quantity of horse supplement is very important, as feeding at a rate which is too low, i.e. feeding too little or infrequently, negates the effects of the ingredients – in short, feeding too little of any horse supplement will mean that it will not work. To determine how much supplement your horse needs, you will need a rough idea of the horse’s weight, which can be achieved by using an equine weigh bridge, or using a weigh tape. Most supplements will however provide guidelines according to whether your horse is a pony, small horse or large horse, and the amount does not have to be exact, but rather is rounded up.

Customers commonly ask whether liquid or powder horse supplements are best, and the answer to this depends on what you horse is happy to eat. Powder horse supplements are easy to measure and sprinkle over the top of your horse’s hard feed before mixing. They can also be mixed with water to syringe directly into the horse’s mouth if they are fussy about their feed. Many owners report that liquid horse supplements suit fussy eaters better, as the liquid is less detectable in the hard feed than lots of powder. Many Equine Products supplements come in both liquid or powder form to suit all preferences.

Although best known for their range of supplements, Equine Products also manufactures equine first aid kit essentials and products to help with grooming. The manufacturing process of these products stays true to their ethos of sourcing the best raw materials to ensure ingredients are pure, developing a product that does what it promises.
