Icelander support

Icelandic horses are special because of their extra gaits, such as tölt and tel gait. These gaits demand a lot from muscles, joints and energy metabolism. Due to their compact build and powerful hindquarters, Icelanders need specific nutrition and training management to stay strong, supple and healthy.

Specific concerns with Icelanders
Icelanders may need extra support with:

• Intensive use of back, buttock and back hand muscles
• Faster muscle fatigue and acidification in case of improper or heavy training
• Possible deficiencies of B vitamins and amino acids during intensive exercise
• Extra need for antioxidants to protect muscle cells
• Maintaining a stable energy metabolism

How can Unique B30 help?
Unique B30 supports the physical and metabolic needs of Icelanders with a potent combination of highly absorbable nutrients:

• Amino acids (lysine, valine, threonine, isoleucine, leucine): promote muscle building and recovery, essential for correct and powerful gait mechanics.
• Vitamin B complex & B12: improve energy, stamina and nervous system recovery.
• Vitamin E & C: strong antioxidants that protect muscle cells from heavy loading and acidification.
• Magnesium & potassium: Support smooth muscle contraction and relaxation, important in collection and carried work.
• Inactivated yeast: contributes to healthy metabolism and intestinal flora, which is especially valuable in Icelanders who react sensitively to ration changes.

Nutritional advice
Besides supplements, a good base is essential:

• Lots of high-quality roughage
• Limited concentrate feed
• Adapted training schedule focusing on correct gaits
• Sufficient variety and daily exercise

With Unique B30, you give your Icelander an effective boost for muscles, energy, resistance and recovery - exactly what these strong but sensitive horses need to perform optimally in all gaits.
