A racehorse throws itself into the race & runs full tilt to the finish line. The dressage horse is the epitome of focus & control. The cutting horse juggles a calm & steady demeanor with bursts of immense power. Endurance horses race at much lower speeds (10-12 mph) for 100 miles or more.

Ultium™ Competition Horse Formula is the new standard in sports nutrition to help top equine athletes compete at their highest level.

Ultium™ has been successfully field-tested across a wide spectrum of competitive disciplines.

Sustained Energy System®
Features a unique blend of three (3) fuel sources:
1. Fat
2. Fermentable Fiber
3. Soluble carbohydrates (starch & sugar)
Ultium™ seamlessly “blends” fuel sources to provide a “steady” level of “cool” energy. An Ultium™ horse has the required energy to excel at competition without having nervous energy. An Ultium™ horse is controllable & manageable, has the mental focus, has the mindset to perform & has the best chance of winning. Ultium™ is power when you need it. Reduced starch & higher fat may reduce the risk of colic & other digestive disturbances that may occur when feeding large quantities of grain. The added vegetable oil promotes a change of glucose & insulin to soluble carbohydrates. Leveling blood sugar allows the horse to remain calm & focused.
A unique fatty acid profile
A blend of soy oil, flaxseed & rice bran provides Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids to promote healthy immune function & improve hair, skin & hooves. Ultium™ is energy dense, resulting in prolonged stamina & endurance while maintaining the equine athlete in peak competitive condition. Ultium™ provides a reserve of “cool” energy—on demand.
Added beet pulp
This highly digestible, fermentable fiber source provides slow-released energy. Added fiber promotes good hindgut health. Targeted Nutrition Delivery System™ transports “repair” nutrients quickly to where they’re needed most. A unique amino acid profile with added lysine, threonine, tryptophan & methionine & top-quality fuel sources replenish glycogen & protein stores in muscles while aiding with muscle repair. This results in less muscle fatigue for faster “bounce back” & readiness to perform when called upon—competition after competition. Ultium™ promotes muscle tone & a strong top line.
Balanced vitamins & minerals like B-vitamins, iron, copper & magnesium
These blood-building nutrients optimize red blood cell production & increase oxygen capacity in horses being exercised. Minerals are also involved in building & repairing connective tissue & cartilage. The proper balance of calcium & phosphorus promotes stronger bones. Vitamins E, C & Selenium are powerful antioxidants that destroy “free radicals,” promoting a healthier immune system & reducing muscle damage. Vitamin E, a natural preservative, improves product shelf life.

Feeding Guidelines: Because Ultium™ is energy dense, less feed is required for maintenance of body condition when compared to feeds with lower energy density, such as straight grains. Unique, patented "pellets & extruded nuggets" prevent sorting, reduce waste & transport easily.

Start with the amounts given for the weight & class of horse. However, individual horse variation may require feeding rate adjustment by plus or minus 10-15%. Therefore, the horse’s body condition should be assessed at regular intervals (every 2-3 weeks) & the amount fed either increased or decreased to maintain the desired body condition.

Changes in diet should be gradual. A 7-10 day period should be allowed for attainment of recommended feeding rates. Further increases in feeding rate should not exceed one pound per day for an individual horse.

When fed as recommended, UltiumTM will provide no more than 0.3 ppm selenium to the total diet.
