Case study 10: coping with intolerances
Laura Tofts and Darcy
Horse’s name: Castle Valentine aka Darcy
Breeding: TB ex-racehorse
Current diet: WINERGY Equilibrium Medium Energy – 3 kg per day and nothing else other than his hay, not even any extra supplements or balancer!
How did you hear about WINERGY Equilibrium?
I first heard about it though one of the online forums, I read about a horse with similar problems to mine and how it was transformed on WINERGY and I thought I would give it a go – I had nothing to lose…
Why did you decide to try WINERGY Equilibrium?
Darcy has feed intolerances including sugar and barley and cant have high starch feeds or he gets a very upset stomach as he has ulcers. I have tried almost every feed and supplement combination on the market without huge success and had ran out of options – then I heard about WINERGYand decided it sounded ideal and gave it a go after getting advice from the WINERGY care-line.
What did you think of the physical form of WINERGY Equilibrium?
I think its great – lots of different textures, I like how it ‘fluffs’ up when wet too.
Did your horse find WINERGY Equilibrium palatable?
Yes, very! He licks his bowl clean every time!
Did you see any improvements in your horse whilst using WINERGY Equilibrium? If yes, what were they?
Huge improvements! He went from being nippy, irritable, lazy and generally miserable to a shiny, friendly, willing, forward horse who is now able to concentrate on his work and seems to be enjoying being handled and ridden again – finally the real Darcy is showing through.
Will you recommend WINERGY Equilibrium to your friends?
Yes – especially those I know with ex racers who may have intolerances from being in training. I have now put my other horse on WINERGY Equilibrium Low Energy and I am seeing a difference in her attitude and well being too.
