Horse Guard Glow 10 lb - Weight Gain, Coat Improvement, Omega-3

Horse Guard is a family-owned and operated business dedicated to creating top-tier equine supplements since 1978. Founded on the principles of nutritional science and a passion for the overall health of horses, the company is now owned and operated by second-generation sisters, who continue the family legacy of manufacturing superior horse supplements. Horse Guard is committed to empowering horse owners by providing them with the information and tools necessary to ensure the happiness and health of their horses.

The company's extensive history in the horse supplements industry has seen it achieve several notable firsts, including the introduction of the very first over-the-counter equine selenium supplement, the first complete supplement for hoof health, the first weight gain product, and the first supplement with organic selenium.

One of Horse Guard's flagship products is a feed supplement designed to aid weight gain, improve coat and condition, and provide omega-3 fatty acids. This supplement is made from full-fat extruded soybeans, which are cooked and processed on-site, creating a digestible soybean crumble with no oils removed, and flax seed meal to provide omega-3s.

Soybeans have often been viewed negatively in the horse world, but when processed and fed correctly, they can be a great "cool" feed source, providing a rich source of protein and fat. Horse Guard uses only full-fat extruded soybeans in their soybean-based products, ensuring an excellent balance of essential amino acids and high levels of lysine, the first limiting amino acid for horses.

The extrusion process used by Horse Guard increases the digestibility of the soybeans by up to 40% compared to whole grains, and also encourages chewing, which in turn increases saliva production and helps prevent gastric ulcers. In contrast, soybean meal, a common form of soy used in horse feeds, is a by-product of soybean oil extraction and can contain chemical residues.

Flax seed is another "cool" energy feed source included in Horse Guard's supplement, providing anti-inflammatory properties through its high omega-3 fatty acid content. While whole flax seeds can be fed to horses, grinding the seeds breaks the hard shell, allowing for better nutritional absorption. Stabilized ground flax seed is high in protein and fat, and when paired with the lysine-rich extruded soybeans, creates a well-balanced and highly beneficial supplement for horses.

By combining the power of full-fat extruded soybeans and flax seed meal, Horse Guard's supplement delivers a high-fat, cool energy source that provides a wealth of omega-3 fatty acids and essential amino acids, empowering horse owners to support the overall health and well-being of their equine companions.
