Many feeding plans are “perfect on paper” … yet the horse still struggles with loose manure, weight loss, free fecal water, itchy skin, mud fever — or it simply doesn’t seem to feel well or develop as it should.
A helpful way to think is:
How can I optimize my horse’s nutrient absorption — and reduce what interferes with it?
Why the gut matters (so much)
Your horse’s well-being starts from the inside. Horses can be exposed to unwanted substances through forage, water, the environment, and imbalances in the gut. Supporting the body by binding and helping remove certain unwanted substances in the gastrointestinal tract can reduce the load on the system — making it easier for your horse to utilize feed and nutrients. When the digestive system is irritated or overloaded, it can affect:
- Nutrient absorption
- Immune function
- Skin and coat quality
- Energy levels
- Manure consistency (including issues like free fecal water)
Our approach: Total Support (clinoptilolite zeolite)
At EQUNIQUE, our mission is to strengthen health from the inside out with natural support. Total Support is a high-quality clinoptilolite zeolite mineral, developed together with a veterinarian and used by many horse owners to support horses that need extra help — and to optimize the system.
Owners often use it as support when horses have challenges such as:
- Free fecal water / diarrhea
- Itching, skin irritation
- Difficulty gaining weight
- Mud fever (“rasp”)
- A tendency toward hoof abscesses
- Generally “not in shape” despite good feed
- Optimize the system — keep health at its best
Feeding tips
Mixing Total Support into lightly soaked feed ofter makes it easier to give and helps avoid dusty buckets.
