Directions For Use
Introduce Digestive EQ into the diet slowly over a period of 14 days. Daily serving recommendation depends on the weight of your horse. 1 Scoop = 65g.
- Up to 200kg = 3/4 scoop or 45g
- Up to 400kg = 1.5 scoops or 95g
- Up to 600kg = 2 scoops or 130g
- Up to 800kg = 3 scoops or 195g
For best results, divide and feed the daily serve into two or more equal meals per day (can also be fed in one meal).
Start at a quarter of the recommend serve and gradually increase over a period of 14 days until you have reached the full serving recommendation above.
Digestive EQ should be fed as part of a balanced diet with ample forage. If your horse is on an unfortified diet, consider feeding Digestive VM to provide the recommended vitamins and minerals. Digestive EQ is safe for laminitic ponies or horses.
Always replace the lid tightly or close the seal on any sachets.

Gut Health Is The Foundation For Your Horse's Wellbeing
Behaviour issues, poor condition or ill thrift in horses are often a sign of poor gut health.
With over 70% of the equine immune system found in the gut, it's no surprise that research currently supports a strong link between gut health and equine wellbeing.
If your horse has struggled with any of these, then it could be a gut health problem.
- Anxious Behaviour
- Dull Coat & Poor Topline
- Gastric Ulcers
- Weight Loss or Gain
- Laminitis
- Brittle Hooves
- Loose Manure
- Recurring Colic
Here Are The Changes You Could See In Your Horse
Almost all horses will benefit from Digestive EQ, a complete gut health supplement, but it’s especially great for horses in low to moderate work, off the track horses, weanlings, yearlings and horses starting under the saddle.
- Less Girthiness - An inflamed gut causes pain and discomfort, particularly at the point of the large colon near the girth. Decreasing gut inflammation reduces this discomfort, increasing the tolerance to girth pressure.
- Calmer Behaviour - The hindgut is large and extends forward as far as the girth groove, so increasing pressure here increases the pressure throughout the entire abdominal cavity. Decreasing the inflammation here reduces this discomfort, making saddling up a far more positive experience for your horse.
- Robust Hooves & Shiny Coat - The healthy gut absorbs nutrients more completely to build strong hooves, and facilitates microbes to produce key vitamins that are essential for hoof growth such as biotin. Combined with four amino acids, your horse is equipped to build strong hair, skin and hooves.
- Better Right Canter Lead - Because the hindgut sits on the right side of the horse, any pressure on this when the hindgut is inflammed will cause discomfort for your horse. This makes movements like the lifting of the back in the right canter transition, the left to right flying change, or the right canter pirouette difficult as the lack of bend and lift prevents the right hind leg reaching through under the horse to take weight. When your horse's hindgut is healthier, these movements become easier.
- Improved Nutrient Absorption - Optimising a stable gut pH and facilitating gut wall repair and maintenance both improves a horses ability to break down and absorb nutrients. Moreover, nurturing good hindgut microbes allows for optimal fermentation, with more complete Volitile Fatty Acid production; a process which is responsible for generating as much as 80% of your horse's energy.
Why Digestive EQ?
Did you know that your horse’s gut houses 70% of his immune system? So if your horse is struggling with soft manure, anxious behaviour, girthiness, and even lack-lustre hoof health and dull coat condition, it’s likely that the trillions of microbiomes in his gut are overworked and need help.
- Targets The Whole Of The Gut - Most supplements target one area of the gut. The dual-action buffering, proprietary blend of postbiotics, digestive enzymes and amino acids in Digestive EQ work from the foregut to the hindgut and through the 21 meter long intestine too!
- Overall Health & Wellbeing - A healthy gut means horses can benefit from more effective digestion, better condition and calmer, less anxious behaviour. Your horse will feel and look better, and live a happier life too!
- Recommended By Veterinarians - We’ve collaborated with experts in their fields to develop a science-backed, nature-based gut health supplement that is recommended and endorsed by veterinarians, nutritionists and microbiologists.
