Supplements Help Balance Diet Limitations

If a horse’s diet is made up of forage alone, owners may want to consider adding a
supplement to ensure they receive all the vitamins, minerals and protein they require,
especially during the added stress of summer heat. Forage is typically a majority of a
horse’s diet throughout the summer months, but it can lack the nutrients he or she needs
to stay in top condition.

Both Purina® Nature’s Essentials® Enrich 32® and Enrich 12® Supplements offer
concentrated levels of quality protein Enrich 12 is not concentrated protein, vitamins and
minerals to help balance the nutritional limitations of moderate-quality forages and
straight grains. Both are corn-free for horses with specific sensitivities, offer controlled
starch and sugar, and the low feeding rates help horses avoid excess weight gain. Added
vitamin E supports a healthy immune system and quality nutrient-dense ingredients are
highly digestible and palatable. Each has specific qualities that provide benefits for
different horse diets.

Nature’s Essentials® Enrich 32® Supplement is designed to fortify a diet of grass,
moderate-quality legume forage and whole-grain concentrates. The concentrated protein,
mineral and vitamin content allows it to bolster and complement grass and moderate
quality legume forages as well as straight grain diets that otherwise would be deficient in
important amino acids, vitamins and minerals. It is best used for growing horses, to
support reproduction, during training and for body condition maintenance

Nature’s Essentials® Enrich 12® Supplement is designed to complement a high-quality
legume forage and whole-grain diet. The lower protein content and the calcium to
phosphorous ratio make it better suited to accompany higher protein content forage such
as high quality legumes. This feed promotes tissue maintenance and repair. It is best used
for body condition maintenance and for mares in early gestation.


Positive Effects of Switching to Nature’s Essentials® Enrich 32®
In an online testimonial, Purina® Nature’s Essentials® Enrich 32® user Jen tells us of the
success she has seen after switching feeds.

“I had my horses on another brand of feed for years, the last few times I purchased it, my
dealer and I talked about how many people have switched over to Enrich 32® and loved
it. I have had my horses on Enrich 32® for about a month, and I can really see a
difference in them already! The shine in their coats is amazing and the gelding we
purchased over the winter is really starting to build his muscle back and fill out. My 2-
year-old is looking great, and they all love it. They actually come off pasture voluntarily
at grain time! I will continue to use the Enrich 32®. I am extremely satisfied so far!”
