Coat Change Bundle

Biotin is associated with the natural metabolism of skin, coat and horn. It plays a central role in the formation of keratin – an important structural protein found in skin, hair and hooves. Adequate biotin supply is valued in horse nutrition as part of maintaining coat shine and horn quality.

Zinc is an essential trace element connected with normal cellular metabolism. In horse nutrition, zinc is linked to the condition of skin, coat and horn and is considered important for maintaining a healthy appearance.

Omega-3 fatty acids – particularly from fish oil – are a valuable addition in horse feeding. They contribute to a balanced supply of essential fatty acids, especially in grain- or roughage-based rations. Omega-3 fatty acids are associated with skin and coat condition and are often mentioned in connection with general vitality in horses.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural source of sulfur that occurs in pasture grass, young forage and certain vegetables. Sulfur is a natural building block of the body and is found in skin, connective tissue, hair and hooves. In horse nutrition, MSM is valued for providing nutritional support for these structures, particularly during phases of high demand.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is a water-soluble B vitamin that naturally occurs in cereals, yeast and plant-based feed materials. It is linked to energy metabolism and is associated with nutritional aspects of skin, coat and hoof condition. Adequate supply is considered useful, especially in times of increased demand.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is a water-soluble B vitamin that naturally occurs in herbs, cereals and yeast. It is connected with cellular metabolism and mentioned in relation to skin and hoof nutrition. A balanced supply is valued in horse feeding as part of maintaining healthy skin and hoof structures.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is an essential B vitamin that naturally occurs in plant-based feed materials, yeast and cereals. It is connected with numerous enzymatic processes and is associated with energy metabolism. Niacinamide is also mentioned in relation to physiological aspects of skin, muscles, digestion and the nervous system.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a water-soluble B vitamin that naturally occurs in yeast, cereals and plant-based feed materials. It is linked to amino acid and fatty acid metabolism and is associated with nutritional aspects of skin and liver function.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential B vitamin that is found particularly in animal-derived feed materials such as fermented products or brewer’s yeast. It is connected with energy metabolism and is also referenced in relation to blood formation, cell function and nervous system processes. Adequate supply is valued in horse nutrition, especially during phases of high demand or in older horses.

Manganese is a trace element that is associated with various enzymatic processes – including energy metabolism and the formation of cartilage, bone and connective tissue structures. An adequate supply is valued in horse nutrition as part of supporting movement and resilience, particularly in active or sport horses.

Folic acid (vitamin B9) is an essential B vitamin that horses cannot synthesize themselves and therefore must obtain through feeding. It is connected with various physiological processes – including cellular metabolism and aspects of skin, coat and mane condition.

DL-methionine is an essential amino acid linked to the formation of keratin – a structural protein naturally present in skin, hair and hooves. Adequate methionine supply is valued in horse nutrition as part of maintaining coat and hoof quality, particularly during coat change, growth or phases of high demand.

Calcium is a macro element that is associated with various physiological processes – including energy metabolism as well as the function of cell membranes and nerves. In horse nutrition, an adequate calcium supply is valued as part of maintaining overall balance and normal body functions.

Milk thistle extract contains natural bitter compounds and secondary plant substances such as silymarin. In equine nutrition, it is traditionally used to support liver metabolism from a nutritional perspective – especially during periods of increased metabolic demand or when diet-related needs arise.

Artichoke herb contains natural bitter compounds and secondary plant substances such as cynarin. In equine nutrition, it is traditionally used to support liver and digestive metabolism from a nutritional standpoint – particularly during diet-related strain or phases of elevated metabolic activity.

Dandelion contains natural bitter substances and is particularly rich in potassium – especially in the leaves. In equine nutrition, it is traditionally used to support liver function and general metabolism from a nutritional perspective. Targeted feeding may be appropriate particularly during diet-related stress or periods of increased metabolic activity.

Apple cider vinegar contains natural acids and secondary plant compounds that are traditionally used in equine nutrition to support digestive metabolism and general well-being. Supplementary feeding may be appropriate especially during periods of external or diet-related stress.

Beetroot juice contains natural plant compounds such as betaine as well as essential minerals and trace elements. In equine nutrition, it can contribute to metabolic support from a nutritional perspective – particularly during intense physical activity or coat change. Skin, connective tissue, and vitality may also benefit from a balanced nutrient supply.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural source of sulfur found in pasture grass, young green forage, and certain vegetables. Sulfur is a structural component in the body, present in skin, connective tissue, hair, and hooves. MSM can support these structures nutritionally – especially under heavy strain.

DL-methionine is an essential amino acid that provides sulfur to the body and is involved in various physiological processes – including the formation of keratin and normal energy metabolism. Targeted supplementation can contribute to nutritional support, particularly during periods of increased demand such as growth or coat change.

Choline chloride is a bioavailable source of choline – a vitamin-like substance involved in various physiological processes in the body. It supports normal fat metabolism and can contribute to the nutritional support of liver function and the nervous system.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential B vitamin, mainly found in animal-derived feed components such as fermented products or brewer’s yeast. It plays a role in normal energy metabolism and is involved in physiological processes related to blood formation, cell function, and neural metabolism. Adequate supply may be appropriate especially during high physical strain or in older horses.

Ginseng contains natural ginsenosides – secondary plant compounds traditionally used during periods of physical and mental stress. In equine nutrition, ginseng can contribute to nutritional support for metabolism, vitality, and inner balance – particularly in stressed or senior horses.

The duration of feeding should always be considered individually. Vigorous Hair can be fed continuously without any concerns. For Liver Balance, please note the following: Feed for up to 6 months initially. It is recommended to consult a veterinarian before use or before extending the feeding period. During special phases – such as the coat change – both products can also be used temporarily to provide targeted support.

All our products can be prepared in advance for feeding. We recommend a maximum preparation time of 24 hours.

Supplementary feed for horses

For large horses: 30 ml of each product per day
For ponies and small horses: 15 ml of each product per day

No worries – 98% of horses eat both - Vigorous Hair and Liver Balance - without any problems when mixed with concentrate feed. You can also prepare it in mash. And if your horse doesn’t like it, our 30-day Taste Guarantee ensures you’ll get your money back.

Vigorous Hair can be fed during all phases of coat change.

This is exactly the right time when Vigorous Hair makes the most sense.

Of course! Even clipped horses go through the coat change.

A visible change usually appears after about 10 days.

There are no restrictions on the Coat Change Bundle. It can be used for all horses of all ages.

Both products can be fed to pregnant mares.

Liver Balance has a withdrawal period of 48 hours. Vigorous Hair, on the other hand, is show safe and therefore not doping-relevant.
