Question 1

My horse is quickly sore or often stiff after training, what can I do about this?

Accepted Answer

When you work your horse or pony hard, he may experience muscle pain or stiffness. This is due to muscle acidification and an accumulation of waste products. Supplements have been developed for such problems, which can support your horse with a good training schedule. Always keep in mind that your horse or pony needs time to recover from heavy training, just like humans. Does the muscle pain and/or stiffness persist even after the recovery time? Then you can try giving 100 grams of Pavo Eplus before and during intensive training or competitions. Pavo Eplus supports your horse in keeping the muscles supple.

Does Pavo Eplus have no effect? If your horse or pony has more severe complaints or there is, for example, a history of muscle strain, then give Pavo MuscleCare. Pavo MuscleCare helps to make stiff and stiff muscles supple again and ensures that the acidification moment of the muscles is postponed. Give horses with serious problems 200 grams per day.

Does your horse sweat a lot? If your horse sweats a lot, it loses moisture and with it important body salts. This can also be a reason for reduced stamina and willingness to work. With Pavo E'lyte you supplement the loss of body salts, allowing your horse to recover quickly.

Question 2

My horse does not keep up the work well and becomes sluggish quickly, what can I feed?

Accepted Answer

If there is no medical cause of poor performance, simply feeding more energy is not always the solution, as in some horses and ponies this only results in short fierceness rather than endurance. Important nutritional values to watch out for are extra protein for muscle strength and extra fats for endurance. Pavo TopSport is a muesli topping that combines both nutritional values.

Tip: include enough fitness work in your training. In this way, you will also ensure that your horse will more easily keep up the work.

Question 3

My horse is nervous and scared of everything, what can I do about this?

Accepted Answer

Some horses are more nervous and curious in character than others. A nervous character trait is therefore difficult to remedy with food, but it is definitely worth trying products with magnesium and L-tryptophan, such as Pavo NervControl. This is because these nutrients help to release tension in the body more quickly and bring more calmness and control.
