Harness Special

• For all harness horses in race preparation and when racing
• Both trotters and pacers
• Horses which have a long and hard training schedule and regular racing

• Blend of cold-pressed, colour coded Supplet pellets separated into 4 compatible nutrient groups which ensures the potency and stability of the vitamins and trace-minerals in the supplement and in the feed.
• A full range of trace-minerals, many in organic chelated form for optimum bioavailability
• All essential vitamins and vitamin co-factors as potency protected forms
• Three forms of iron, including bioavailable organic iron chelate and high purity iron carbonyl
• Major antioxidants, including fully organic selenium as selenomethionine and extra vitamin E
• Some bone minerals included, although extra may be added separately in early training for bone adaptation or when lucerne hay is not provided
• No added cobalt
• Does not swab, safe and legal for all competitions and even racing (rules prohibiting the use of any pre-race supplements should be followed if required by local Racing authorities)
• Pelleted and palatable supplement which mixes easily into all types of feeds (wet or dry).  Reduces wastage from dust, sift-out, sludging and blow away from feeders.

Each level scoopful of Harness Special provides 40 grams (LARGE END) and 15 grams (SMALL END) of the double ended scoop.

Daily supplementation rates from 40 – 60 grams per day (for harness horses 400-450kg bodyweight) provide a practical guideline for supplementing the diets of horses in early training or regular racing.

Even when feeding prepared, commercial ‘complete’ feeds designed for high intensity work, many race trainers choose to boost nutrient content and optimise energy efficiency by adding 40 g of Harness Special to the ration for the last 5 days before and after racing.  

1.4 kg pouch (35 days supply) available for $61.00 which is $1.74 cost per dose.

4 kg bucket (100 days supply) available for $119.95 which is $1.20 cost per dose.

10 kg bucket (250 days supply) available from your local stockist at RRP $263.00 which is $1.05 cost per dose.

20 kg bucket (500 days supply) available from your local stockist at RRP $465.00 which is $0.93 cost per dose.

** Days supply is calculated from the 40 gram dose which is suitable for horses (500 kg body weight) in early training.  Prices are Recommended Retail Price (RRP) including GST (Australian Dollars).  Prices may vary between different retailers.

For example, multiple forms of iron are included to help maintain the blood and oxygen delivery in hard working or racing horses.  Harness Special also contains concentrated forms of organic selenium (as highly available organic chelate selenomethionine) and vitamin E to boost antioxidant levels in muscle cells during long and hard training and regular racing.

Supplementation with Harness Special can resume 1-2 weeks before the return to training to build antioxidants and iron in the blood for increased stamina and performance once training starts again.

Harness Special contains premium, high potency forms of the nutrients that are much more stable and available than in many feeds.  This allows the optimum benefit to trotting and pacing horses in terms of ensuring top micronutrient intake.

Many trainers also add an extra grain portion to their horses’ diets in order to get the best economy and energy provision for their rations.  As a guide, for every kilo of expensive commercial feed removed and a kilo or more of extra grain added, add 15 grams of Harness Special.  Full guidelines for ‘top-up’ amounts are included on the label.

Trainers not feeding lucerne hay may choose to add extra bone minerals, especially during early training when the bones are adapting by increasing bone density and hardening in response to high concussive forces that Harness horses achieve during their training and racing.

Trainers do not need to provide extra iron by injections or liquid feed supplements, because Harness Special contains higher levels of iron, as three orally available forms for better uptake and utilisation, plus more vitamin B12 and folic acid, to meet the increased needs of harness horses fed on grain, chaff and hay based diets.
