At the risk of repeating information you are probably familiar with - every person involved in training, breeding and competing horses should be aware of the important role B vitamins play in their horses performance (while we are at it – you might also want to consider how important B vitamins are for YOU as well! But that’s another newsletter altogether).

Equine 2000 supplies the highest dose, most economical B paste on the market in NZ. If you haven’t already done so, compare the ingredients and price of the Vitamin B supplement you are currently using to the Equine 2000 Ultimate B Shot paste.

Remember B Vitamins are water soluble – so they are not stored in the horse’s body - they need to be feed as required.
