Putting weight on a horse isn’t always as simple as feeding more hay or scooping in extra hard feed. In fact, when it comes to healthy, sustainable weight gain, it’s not about quantity—it’s about quality.

Horses that struggle to hold weight, whether due to stress, age, metabolism, or recovery, need nutrient-dense calories that support both condition and muscle. Loading up on grain-based feeds or sugary weight gainers can lead to behavioural issues, digestive upset, or even laminitis in sensitive horses.

The smarter, safer solution is to feed clean calories through a combination of quality forage, fat, and high-quality protein. And that’s exactly what EquaCare Protein Booster Pellets provide.

Why choose EquaCare Protein Booster Pellets for weight gain?

• High protein content to promote muscle rather than fat

Many horse owners see noticeable improvements in coat shine, appetite, and body score within just a few weeks of starting Protein Booster Pellets. They’re also a great option for horses returning to work, coming back from illness, or going through seasonal weight dips.

For best results:

• Feed alongside ad lib hay or pasture

• Add a slow-release oil
