For Finnish Olympian Henri Ruoste Equine 74 Gastric has become an integral part in the horse care, management and feeding programme of his high performance athletes at his stable Gut Bertingloh in Menden, Germany.
Ruoste saw the general health and composure of his sensitive horses improve significantly when she started feeding Equine 74 Gastric as a supplement for long-term ulcer management.
A Staple in His Feeding Programme
Gastric ulcers are a common place problem with sport horses. Henri is a firm believer in the best horse care and went in search of a natural product for long-term stomach management.
"Every time a new horse arrives in the barn I will automatically put it on Equine 74 because the change in stable and environment is stressful for them," Henri explained. "We have been feeding Equine 74 Gastric for several years now and it has become a staple in our feeding programme."
Ruoste first heard about Equine 74 Gastric reading testimonials of dressage riders such as Terhi Stegars, Tinne Vilhelmson, and Cathrine Rasmussen on Eurodressage.com.
"We feed both the Stomach Calm Relax and the Gastric supplement and they really work," Henri stated. "Whenever we get a new horse, or two weeks before a competition, during the show, and two weeks after a competition we will feed the combination religiously. In fact they are on it almost permanently because we want to do everything to make our horses feel good. It clearly helps them and I wouldn't buy it if it didn't."
Ideal for Sensitive and Hot Horses
Equine 74 Gastric is a natural feed supplement which buffers acid instead of just blocking it. It creates a healthy ph balance in the horse's stomach and is doping free.
Just one month ago Henri competed at his second, consecutive Olympic Games aboard his own and Victoria Schönhofen's Danish warmblood mare Tiffanys Diamond. He finished seventh with Team Finland in the Grand Prix Special.
"Paris was amazing. That location is hard to beat and for the horses it was perfectly organized," Henri reminisced. "I wish I could have been more competitive but it was only our fourth show together. It was amazing how well Tiffany coped with the atmosphere and we learnt a lot. She is a green Grand Prix horse and handled it better than expected. In the end you want to go and ride and come home happy. Tiffany went above and beyond and is a horse for the future."
Also at the Paris Olympics, Tiffanys Diamond was fed the Equine 74 Gastric and Calm Relax combo.
"I feel it makes a difference. She's a hot horse and it relaxes her in a positive way. It's not a downer, but you notice that it makes her stomach feel good," said Henri. "Some horses at home, who are settled in will go off it, but in the end we prefer to feed it permanently because we know it helps them feel good."
Long-Term Solution
Aware that gastric ulcers are common with sport horses and medication like costly omeprazole is no long-term solution, Henri found a safe and effective alternative in Equine 74 Gastric.
This supplement is more gentle on the horse's constitution than pharmaceutical medication.
"We have a wide range of different horses in the barn and this works. I have tried a lot of products and there is much on the market, but for me Equine 74 is the best and most cost effective," he stated.
