INSPIRE MARATHON is a high-fat, low-protein, calorie-dense blend including oats, vegetable oil, pellets and extruded super fiber nuggets designed for performance horses at higher intensity and endurance levels. Also an ideal choice for hard keepers. INSPIRE MARATHON incorporates a Triple Energy Release System to help meet the complex demands of the equine athlete.
- Triple Energy Release System - Triple Energy Release System is a unique combination of carbohydrates, fat and fermentable fiber providing sequential energy release. This system continuously supplies the necessary calories to maintain stamina especially for equine athletes competing in endurance and eventing.
- High Fat - High Fat from vegetable oil increases energy density and efficiency for sustained performance and endurance. The addition of fat helps reduce the risk of starch overload while maintaining desired calorie level for optimum weight and body condition of active horses. Vegetable oil also helps support skin and hair coat condition, enhancing overall appearance of show horses.
- Fixed Ingredient Formula - A fixed ingredient formula provides a consistent feed to your horse bag after bag, maintaining a stable gut environment and overall digestive health.
- Fresh Ingredients - Fresh Ingredients provide added quality and confidence in knowing you are selecting the best for your horse.
- Organic (complexed) Zinc, Copper and Manganese, Plus Bio-Available Selenium - The greater mineral absorption and utilization helps meet the increased needs for bone, muscle and tissue strength in active horses. Overall reproduction performance and efficiency is sustained in breeding mares and stallions.
- Vitamins A, D, E and Stable Vitamin C - Provides a supplemental source to help guard against deficiencies and maintain optimal health and metabolism. As potent antioxidants, vitamins E and C help maintain cell membrane and tissue integrity, and support the immune system.
- B-Complex Vitamins (including Biotin) - Actively involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into usable energy for performance and endurance. Added B vitamins support healthy growth of skin, hair and hooves.
- Textured Blend of Oats, Pellets and Super-Fiber Nuggets - Textured Blend of Oats, Pellets and Super-Fiber Nuggets wrapped in molasses and vegetable oil encourages salivation and may help aid in digestion. A textured feed ensures excellent acceptance and palatability.
