The modern equine faces many challenges from the physical and mental demands of training, to the environment and in today’s world the restrictions on competition and travel and changes to the their normal routine.
Key body systems, including the digestive, musculoskeletal and immune systems, are tested daily and as horse owners we want to be sure we are doing the best for our animals. Using our research and product development we have created a range of feeds known as The Care Range. They are formulated to provide optimal nutritional support in a low starch, high fibre format. They available with two levels of protein – 10% (which is oat-free) or 14% (containing oats) as well as two Balancers, PerformaCare and GROCARE

Why the RED MILLS Care package?
The modern-day horse faces many challenges – the physical and mental stresses of training, frequent travel and competitions and the tremendous demands of the breeding season. Key body systems including the digestive system, musculoskeletal system and immune systems are tested daily. With this in mind, our expert nutrition team have developed the RED MILLS Care package for a scientifically advanced range of feeds, that have been specifically formulated to provide the horse with optimum nutritional support.
STOMACH CARE
STOMACH CAREA variety of factors place the performance horse at risk of gastric ulceration, caused by gastric acid erosion of the epithelial lining of the stomach wall. The RED MILLS Care package has been specifically designed to help support and maintain normal stomach health. All RED MILLS Care products are low in starch and contain a slow releasing, natural gastric buffer to help to buffer excess acid thereby helping to maintain a healthy stomach pH.
MUSCLE CARE
MUSCLE CAREPrecise nutritional care is needed to support muscle development, growth and post-exercise recovery. The RED MILLS Care package is formulated to provide high quality protein, rich in essential amino acids. A comprehensive, unique antioxidant package combining Vitamin E, organic Selenium and Vitamin C is also included to effectively support cellular function and muscle recovery.
HINDGUT CARE
HINDGUT CAREMaintaining a healthy and efficient hindgut in high performing competition and stud horses can be challenging. The RED MILLS Care package includes fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), and live yeast, all of which help to promote a healthy hindgut environment.
SKELETAL CARE
SKELETAL CARESkeletal problems and bone injuries are a common concern in youngstock and performance horses. The RED MILLS Care package has been formulated to help promote bone strength and correct limb development by providing quality protein, vitamins A, D and K, plus essential micronutrients such as elements calcium and phosphorus. Chelated copper and zinc are also included for for improved availability. All the feeds in the RED MILLS Care range have also been designed to provide controlled levels of starch to help reduce excessive glycaemic response after feeding.
HOOF CARE
HOOF CAREHorse hoof health is determined by several factors including genetics, environment, and nutrition. The RED MILLS Care package contains elevated levels of biotin to help support improved hoof quality, plus quality protein, a source of sulphur-containing amino acids, chelated zinc and copper all of which play important roles in maintaining hoof health.
