Mare Active

Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) is a traditional feed plant containing secondary plant compounds. In horse nutrition, it is used as a complementary ingredient – particularly for older horses or mares during hormonally sensitive phases – and is valued as part of supporting overall balance and nutrition.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a traditionally used plant extract with a natural content of secondary plant compounds. In horse feeding, ashwagandha is included as a complementary ingredient, especially for older, sensitive or hormonally challenged horses. It is associated with nutritional support for balance and resilience during phases of increased demand or environmental changes.

Sage leaves contain natural secondary plant compounds and essential oils such as thujone and cineole. In horse nutrition, sage has traditionally been used as a complementary ingredient and is associated with feeding concepts for respiratory balance, digestion and overall well-being – particularly in dusty environments or during feeding-related challenges.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is a water-soluble B vitamin that naturally occurs in cereals, yeast and herbs. It is linked to energy metabolism and mentioned in connection with physiological processes of the nervous system and muscles. Adequate supply is valued in horse nutrition, especially during phases of high demand.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is a water-soluble B vitamin that naturally occurs in yeast, cereals and green plants. It is connected with energy metabolism and referenced in relation to skin, cellular and hoof metabolism. In horse feeding, vitamin B2 is traditionally valued to help ensure adequate micronutrient supply, particularly during demanding phases.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is an essential 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 referenced in relation to physiological processes of the nervous system and liver.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential B vitamin that is found in relevant amounts only in animal-derived feed components such as fermented products or yeast. It is connected with energy metabolism and is associated with processes of the nervous system. Adequate supply is valued in horse nutrition, particularly for older horses or during phases of high demand.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is an essential B vitamin that naturally occurs in yeast, cereals and plant-based ingredients. It is associated with energy metabolism and is frequently mentioned in connection with physiological aspects of skin, muscles, digestion and the nervous system.

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

Calcium D-pantothenate (vitamin B5) is connected with energy metabolism and involved in various physiological processes in the body. In horse feeding, an adequate supply is considered useful as part of nutritional support, especially during phases of high demand.

Folic acid (vitamin B9) is an essential B vitamin that horses obtain through feeding. It is linked to cellular metabolism and is mentioned in relation to blood formation and overall vitality. Adequate supply is valued particularly during demanding phases or in older horses.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is linked to protein metabolism and is also known as a precursor of the body’s own messenger substances. In horse nutrition, it is valued during phases of hormonal change or increased nervous strain, particularly in sensitive or easily stressed mares, as part of nutritional support for balance and resilience.

Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a traditional feed plant containing secondary plant compounds. In horse feeding, it is traditionally used as a complementary ingredient, especially for mares or older horses during hormonally sensitive phases, and is associated with supporting overall well-being in such situations.

Lavender extract contains natural essential oils and has traditionally been used in horse nutrition. It is associated with feeding concepts for balance and general well-being, particularly in situations of nutritional or environmental stress.

Withanolides are secondary plant compounds that naturally occur in the root of the ashwagandha plant (Withania somnifera). In horse nutrition, ashwagandha is traditionally used as a complementary ingredient and is associated with feeding concepts for horses during phases of nervous tension or hormonal fluctuations – particularly in sensitive horses or during periods of increased demand.

For large horses, one bottle will last about three weeks. For small horses/ponies, it will last about six weeks.

The feeding duration should be considered individually. Mare Vital should be fed 5–7 days before heat. The product should be fed continuously for 6–8 weeks. After a maximum of 8 weeks, a break of 2 weeks is recommended.

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