Pure Feed Company Re-Fuel – 15kg Post-Exercise Recovery Mash

Pure Re-Fuel – Post-Exercise Recovery Mash, 15kg

Re-Fuel is fed after work rather than as a daily ration: a 500g serving soaked at one part feed to two parts water, which most horses will take straight after coming in. It carries electrolytes to replace what sweat removes, lysine, methionine and threonine for muscle repair, and vitamin E at 1,000 iu/kg with vitamin C at 1,800 mg/kg against the oxidative stress of hard work.

The soaked format does two jobs at once — it gets nutrients in and it gets water in, and on a hot day or after a long journey the water matters more. Cherry flavouring and blueberry keep it palatable to horses that go off their feed after competing. Starch is 4.5% and naturally occurring sugar 4.7%, and Pure state those low levels make it safe for horses prone to ulcers and laminitis.

Performance & Benefits

• The three limiting amino acids together — lysine 0.48%, methionine 0.16% and threonine 0.3% — for post-exercise muscle repair.
• Added electrolytes covering sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium, at a salt level of 2.53%.
• Vitamin E at 1,000 iu/kg and vitamin C at 1,800 mg/kg for antioxidant support.
• Soaks at one part feed to two parts water in around five minutes, delivering water alongside the feed.
• Starch 4.5% and naturally occurring sugar 4.7%.
• Cherry flavouring with blueberry, aimed at horses that go off feed after work.

Suitable For

• Horses in regular competition, hunting, endurance or hard training.
• Horses that sweat heavily or travel long distances.
• Horses that will not eat normally after work.
• Horses prone to ulcers or laminitis, on Pure's own guidance.
• Not a daily hard feed and not a source of condition — use Pure Working or Pure Performance for the everyday ration and Re-Fuel alongside it.

• Feed in 500g dry-weight servings.
• Soak at one part feed to two parts water for around five minutes before feeding.
• Offer after work, alongside the horse's normal ration and forage.
