For the competition or active riding horse it can be difficult to strike the balance between feeding for energy and over fuelling the temperament. Concentrate feeds are necessary to provide the energy for workload, but too much and it can feel as though you are handling a time bomb!

It is well known that many equine behavioural problems are closely related to the digestive system. Concentrated feeds, extended periods of stabling and demands of work can all, ultimately, provoke microbial imbalance in the gut, allowing harmful bacteria to proliferate. The resultant build up of acids and toxins in the blood stream can result in negative and physical and psychological effects. Symptoms include excitable behaviour, stable vices, poor condition, whole grains passed in droppings, and an inability to settle either in the box or when worked.

NAF Relax contains a natural bentonite clay which swells when wet slowing down the rate of passage and allowing time for thorough digestion, thus avoiding the 'rushes' of digestion which trigger acid build up. Relax also contains herbs to help support an even termperament and yeast to support the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the gut and help stabilise the digestive tract. Relax will help excitable horses concentrate calmly on the day ahead without losing any of their athletic ability. Relax is particularly recommended for the hard working, highly-strung animal on concentrate feeds.
