Gestating Mares The quality of a foal at birth is dependent on how well the mare is nourished during pregnancy, and mares give all to their foals at their own expense, a maternal sacrifice seen in mammals as a whole. What happens after birth depends on many casual factors as well, and that’s where Thrive excels. By allowing the digestive system to develop unhindered by starch in normal feeds, the foal gets supplementary nutrition to support growth and pristine development. Foals will grow to become outstanding horses by using this technique of early life supplimentation. Nursing Mares Mares nursing a new foal really have their job cut out maintaining condition. The ability to supply that added energy needed to keep the weight on, and condition where it’s desirable is a blessing to owners and breeders alike. Feed up to 10lbs a day broken in to multiple meals and watch carefully as the mares condition is going to dictate just how much you settle on as a target amount. Foals Thrive produces results that are outstanding in the repro world. This colt was part of the 09 foal crop and is a Highbrow Cat grandbaby. His mother was fed Thrive during her gestation and had massive amounts of milk to grow a wonderful son. Observe the musculature at one month. He started eating Thrive at 3 weeks old and has grazed on his mothers ration ever since. Fundamental logic demands that if you want to build something outstanding you have to use outstanding raw materials. That is what this foal is made from. There is no problem feeding foals Thrive as soon as they will eat it. It is not uncommon to see the little guy’s munching away when they are less than a week old, but usually they are really into it by the time they are three weeks old and eat every meal with their mother. Mostly they will just eat out of Momma’s feed bucket if you put it down low, preferably at ground level. They are fine eating as much as they like in the early stages, and because Thrive is so digestible it can be offered free choice. Yearlings Horses grow in distinct stages or growth spurts, it’s not just a linear process. Especially around the 12 month mark a substantial increase in growth is often evident. The beauty of feeding THRIVE is that you can safely vary the feed quantity without risking colic or any food intake based problems. The quality of nutrition is so profound that your babies grow to be the best they can be, right through to adulthood. Strong bones, beautiful feet, powerful muscling. It’s all available just for the feeding. Young Adults The commencement of training places demands on young horses that are best met by sound nutrition. Advanced training programs start in the stomach. Feeding for a calm disposition makes so much sense, and it is possible to get horses to training milestones in at least half the time it normally takes trainers using other feeds, it makes that much difference. Mind you, the training program has a lot to do with it as well. Aged Thrive is appropriate for any age horse from foals to aged equines. The processing creates a “melt in their mouth” bolus that is effortless to chew and assimilate. The low digestive impact on a horses gut does not tax an old horses system, nurturing and gently supplying necessary nutrients in a way that works with them and not against them. Traditional feeds have to be formulated to try and deal with aged horses who have been fed raw starch for long periods. Their compromised digestive systems do need special consideration and senior feeds. Not so with Thrive. There is no such thing as senior hay and foal grass, or performance grass. All forage is treated the same way in a horses digestive system, Thrive is the same way, it gets treated like grass, and because of that you can feed it free choice like grass if you need to.
