sport
Running Cool Sport is a fully extruded, energy dense, complete feed specifically formulated for performance horses and ponies. It is the perfect feed for daily-trained horses in light to heavy work and competition horses in all sport disciplines including dressage, show jumping, eventing, racing, campdrafting, endurance, polo, reining and cutting.
Running Cool Sport has well balanced amounts of high quality protein, amino acids and energy, perfectly suited to the energy requirements of performance horses. It contains enriched levels of micronutrients including anti-oxidant vitamins, minerals and chelated trace minerals to support the nutritional needs of your performance horses and ponies.
Running Cool Sport is processed by extrusion to maximise digestibility and minimize digestive dysfunction. The Extrusion process adds a large range of benefits compared to pelleted and standard feeds. Listed below are just a few advantages in feeding extruded products.
The extrusion process changes the nutritional characteristics making proteins, carbohydrates and liquids more available for absorption by the horse’s metabolism.
The nutrients become more readily adsorbed in the small intestine, reducing overload into the hindgut, reducing the risks of choke and colic.
Extruded nuggets promote chewing and saliva production, which is essential for buffering stomach acids, helping to combat the development of gastric ulcers.
Extruded feeds are low in dust and fines, making them an excellent feed for horses with respiratory problems.

Feeding Directions
- Daily feeding rates are provided as a guide only. Variation will occur depending on body condition of the horse, climate, quality of pasture and/or hay, chaff available and individual variation.
- This is a concentrated feed that must be fed in conjunction with hay and or pasture so that roughage comprises no less than 50% of the diet by weight.
- Do not feed more than 0.5 kg per 100 kg of bodyweight in any one feed. Higher amounts should be split between 2 or more feeds per day.
- Introduce over a 1 to 2 week period into your horses diet
- Ensure that clean, fresh water is available at all times. Access to a salt lick is also recommended.
