Description | Farriers Formula was developed to provide the nutrients needed to enable horses to build strong structural and connective tissue proteins (tendons, ligaments, bones, joints). Developed almost 30 years ago, Farrier's Formula has always contained nutrients such as phospholipids, omega fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and important amino acid "protein building blocks". | | Cavalor Fifty-Fifty contains the core nutritional components for horses that maintain their weight well. | Cavalor Hoof Aid promotes healthy hoof growth and hoof quality. Cavalor Hoof Aid is a nutritional supplement to maintain good hoof quality and to improve hoof strength. | | Cavalor Emergency 911 is a fast-acting and easily digestible supplement intended to support the digestive systems in horses with digestive problems or experiencing stress, for example from transport. |
Content | Farriers Formula was developed to provide the nutrients needed to enable horses to build strong structural and connective tissue proteins (tendons, ligaments, bones, joints).

Connective tissue proteins combine to form fibers which may crosslink with adjacent fibers. The joined fibers strength is dependent on the number of crosslinks. These crosslinks are chemically expensive for the body to produce. If the right chemicals (in the form of nutrients from the diet) are not present, fewer crosslinks can be made and the tissue being constructed or repaired will be weaker. The hoof is connective tissue that depends on its many crosslinks for strength and resiliency. A strong healthy hoof can only be built through proper nutrition. | | Cavalor Fifty-Fifty contains the core nutritional components for horses that maintain their weight well. Those nutritional components include: easily digestible extruded grains, high-quality digestible proteins, high vitamin content, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids. Fifty-Fifty has been specifically designed for mixing and matching in order to provide a flexible foundation for your multi-functional stable (for example, a mixture of lesson horses, horses in training and show horses).
By puffing grains we are able to improve the starch digestibility in the foregut from an average of 5-50% to 85-90%. These grains travel through the stomach and small intestine at a slower rate, allowing the digestive enzymes more time to act on the feed. More nutrients in the feed are released for the horse to absorb while avoiding any rapid releases of sugar and starch, which is critical for horses with metabolic issues. | | | |
