Competition Fit Cubes
Competition Fit Cubes generate power for performance horses, without the high inclusion of cereals making them ideal for horses with a more excitable disposition. The cubes combines fibre and oil sources to provide slow release energy to support stamina and optimise energy metabolism. Digestible fibres help to maintain hydration and normal gut function, combating against the ‘tucked’ appearance that can occur in performance horses. A small cereal inclusion helps to maintain power and presence, as well as supporting natural recovery with the replacement of glycogen post performance. The inclusion of high quality proteins and amino acids helps to support cell, tissue and muscle repair, whilst encouraging the maintenance of topline and muscle definition.
Competition Fit Cubes are fully fortified and contain yeast to optimise digestibility, and maximise nutrient absorption. The extensive balance of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants help to support the horse from potential free radical damage and boost the immune system. Therefore, making Competition Fit Cubes a must have for every Competition yard.
- Utilises a variety of energy pathways to optimise power generation and stamina
- Supports natural recovery patterns with the replacement of glycogen post exercise
- ‘Super-Fibre’ inclusion to support controlled performance
- Oil and essential amino acids to maintain skin, coat and peak muscle health
- Optimum inclusion of yeast to support digestive tract health
- Fully fortified with vitamins and minerals
- Fixed formulation providing consistent nutritional quality
- Suited for competition horses and ponies that need a higher energy requirement for work or with exitable temperaments but need more 'oomph', for horses and ponies starting to move up a training level and for horses and pnies with a nervous disposition that need more power and stamina.
Ponies 200 - 400 kg bodyweight = 1 - 2 kg per day*
Horses 400 - 600 kg bodyweight = 2 - 3.5 kg per day*
Large horses >600 kg = 3.5 - 5 kg per day*
*Always try to feed a minimum of 1.5% of bodyweight as good quality forage. E.g. a 500 kg horse would eat 7.5 kg of hay per day. These eed levels give the minimum and maximum feeding rates for each range of bodyweights, ie a pony of any bodyweight between 200 to 400 kg could be fed between 1 - 2 kg per day, depending on their requirements.

Partnership with Kentucky Equine Research (KER)
Saracen Horse Feeds Ltd. has always been dedicated to producing nutritionally sound, innovative formulas and providing customers with accessible personal service. These commitments led Saracen to Kentucky Equine Research (KER), founded by Dr. Joe Pagan Ph.D. in 1988.
Saracen is the exclusive Kentucky Equine Research (KER) Team Member in the UK.
KER is the most prolific independent equine research center in the world, entirely committed to the advancement of breeding and athletic performance through nutrition. The aim at KER is to enhance the understanding of equine nutrition and exercise physiology, and apply this knowledge to produce healthier, more athletic horses. From its headquarters in Central Kentucky, KER conducts extensive research, and each research trial is designed to improve the health and wellbeing of horses by targeting specific problems, and finding nutritional solutions.
The collaboration has given Saracen the chance to consistently provide nutritional solutions with unique, progressive feeds that can make a real difference, along with the science to support them.
