A light diet—low ​​in carbohydrates—free from conventional cereal starch
When feeding horses that are prone to weight gain or are overweight,
 it is crucial to clearly distinguish between their nutrient requirements and their energy needs.
 If carbohydrate metabolism disorders have already developed—or if you wish to prevent 
them—a specific dietary plan is required: one free from conventional cereal starch but rich in essential nutrients!

Free from conventional cereal starch; low in starch and sugar
Rich in low-glycemic fibers, with aromatic herbs, oils, and oilseeds
Targeted mineral supplementation to stabilize carbohydrate and fat metabolism

FOR A
LOW-STARCH, LOW-SUGAR DIET Equigard® is designed for horses that tend to gain weight easily, 
overweight horses requiring a low-starch and low-sugar diet, or those at higher risk of metabolic issues due to their constitution.

LESS STARCH – BETTER HEALTH
Scientific studies show that in cases of metabolic issues, the total content of non-structural carbohydrates—such as 
cereal starch and sugars—in the diet should be reduced. Equigard® contains significantly lower levels of starch and sugar compared to cereals, 
making it ideal as a low-calorie feed for horses at risk of, or already suffering from, such conditions.

SUPPORTING METABOLISM
To stabilize insulin function and the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, vital nutrients play a key role: magnesium, zinc, copper, 
manganese, selenium, omega-3 fatty acids, lecithin, and antioxidants such as vitamin E and fruit flavonoids.

OUR RECOMMENDATION
Equigard® is also ideal as a feed for horses on stall rest during convalescence.
