Winning Formula's 12-Point Horse Trainer's Check List

A handy guide on what to be mindful of when rearing, training and racing a horse and which Winning Formula products are of most benefit to those aspects of your animal's health.

  1. Check for a healthy Skeletal system: Bones, ligaments and teeth. A quality Calcium Phosphorus supplement in the development phase of your foals will prepare them for breaking in and will ensure the development of strong bones and ligaments (Equine CalPhos Plus).
  2. Check the Muscular system: High protein diet in the formative period preparing for breaking in will ensure the necessary development of strong muscles and tendons.
  3. Worming at regular intervals.
  4. Regular use of a Probiotic to ensure good gut flora and digestive function.
  5. Temperature checks of Equine athletes prior to trialing and racing will indicate early warning signs of viruses and ill health. Normal rectal temperature of a horse ranges between 99.5 and 101.5 degrees, with 100 being average. Above 102 or below 98 indicates illness. Consult a veterinarian for assurance.  The temperature is best taken from the rectum using a digital thermometer.
  6. Kidney Liver function: Ensure the bodies filters are functioning correctly (KFS - Kidney Function Solution).
  7. Racing Diet: Carbohydrate – Fat – Protein in correct ratios will ensure your horse can perform to the best of its ability.
  8. Digestive Function: A regular check of the quality of the stool will indicate the correct balance in the digestive tract.
  9. Coat condition: Feeding Oil as a fatty acid in your horse's diet will ensure good digestive health, bowel movement and energy levels as well as quality in coat condition (Equine Omega Plus).
  10. Muscle flexibility: Good hydration with a quality Electrolyte supplement, plus Magnesium, B-group vitamins, MSM Supplement, as well as regular muscle soreness checks and massage will ensure the horse performs to the best of its ability (Equine Essential Salts, MSM).
  11. Injury: An Ice Gel Pack in a cooler bag on race days will be useful for immediate ice treatment of injuries and inflammation after racing.
  12. Hoof health: Maintaining quality hoof condition is essential to the horse's health and racing performance (4 Hooves).
