Belgium is among the world's top equestrian nations. Sport and competition horses are a fixed part of the Belgian landscape. But a sport horse also requires specific nutritional support. In this guide, we look at which supplements a Belgian sport horse needs.
The Belgian equestrian scene: a demanding environment
Whether it is show jumpers competing at BWB events, dressage horses preparing for the national championship, or eventing horses tackling Belgian cross-country courses: the physical demands are high. Joints, muscles, stomach and nervous system are under constant pressure.
A Belgian sport horse competing regularly at KBRSF/FRBSE or international FEI events needs supplements that are formulated with competition rules in mind. Always check the current rules before competing.
Joints: the foundation of performance
Joint disorders are the most common cause of injury absence in sport horses. Artico Gold by HorseTonic contains hyaluronic acid, MSM, glucosamine and trimagnesium citrate, specifically formulated for sport horses in daily work. Always check current BWB and KBRSF rules before competing.
Calming: focus without sedation
ZEN by HorseTonic contains magnesium, L-tryptophan and valerian, a combination that calms the nervous system without sedation. The horse stays alert and focused but responds more calmly to stimuli like crowds, transport and unfamiliar locations.
Gastric protection: underestimated but essential
Stress, transport and intensive training increase stomach acid production in horses. Gastric ulcers affect an estimated 60-90% of sport horses. PH by HorseTonic buffers stomach acidity and supports the gastric mucosa. It is not a treatment or preventive measure for gastric complaints: consult your vet for persistent signs.
