FAQ’s
What are the signs of soft tissue damage?
While lameness may not always be present, there can be other signs that can indicate soft tissue damage including heat and swelling in the leg, your horse being reactive when touching this area and reluctancy to perform as they were under saddle.
How long should my horse stay on Soft Tissue Support™?
If your horse is recovering from a soft tissue injury, Soft Tissue Support™ can be fed throughout their rehabilitation and is safe to feed ongoing when they are back to their normal routine. Some owners feed their horses Soft Tissue Support™ as a preventative measure, especially during competition seasons when the ground is firmer and the tendons & ligaments may need more support.
What’s the difference between Supple Xtra™, Soft Tissue Support™ and Bute-EZ?
Supple Xtra™ is fed to maintain healthy joints.
Soft Tissue Support™ is used to support the health of tendons & ligaments and for the recovery of soft tissue injuries.
Bute-EZ™ is a natural anti-inflammatory for horses who require ongoing support, those on box rest or the veteran horse to help maintain ease of movement.
Should I split the daily amount over two feeds?
It is recommended that your horse has its maintenance amount in one feed, so for a 500kg horse, you need to use 1 scoop into one feed and for a 600kg horse, 2 scoops into one feed. Do not split the maintenance dose into two feeds. 2 scoops per day = 2 scoops in one feed.
For loading doses (the first 3-5 days of feeding), you need to use the required dosage into two separate feeds (morning & evening).
I’m not sure my horse will eat it?
Palatability samples are available on our website, so that you can ensure your horse is happy to eat it.
