Page 18 April 2023 EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN Athletic horses undergo rigorous training programs to boost their performance. They also regularly face the stresses of travel and new environments. Feeding a daily supplement of high-quality amino acids can speed muscle tissue repair and increase muscle development, giving the horse a competi- tive edge. Supplementing with probiotics aids in maintaining a performance horse’s healthy gut by promoting optimal digestive function and nutrient absorp- tion. A healthy, well-functioning digestive tract can lower the risk of colic and other illness and improve the horse’s performance in the arena. Power+ by Pivotal Feeds is a 100% natural blend of nine equine amino acids plus probiotics designed to improve the overall health and fitness of your active horse. Power+ contains the amino acids lysine, arginine, ornithine, glycine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, glutamine, and histidine. Our proprietary probiotic blend is added to the 9 amino acids to create a supplement that is 100% natural, with no added sugars, sweeteners, or fillers. POWER+ By Pivotal Feeds Ultimate Rehab is Available at Coexist Stables in Maryland By Jayde Greenwood and Elizabeth Tonti The use of rehabilitation is not a new development in the world for human athletes. Innova- tions like the use of aqua tread- mills, PEMF, and hot walkers are becoming increasingly popular for our equine athletes to improve recovery and conditioning. At M.A.R.E.S. we offer the ultimate rehab setup to provide the best possible outcomes for rehabil- itation of soft tissue and other injuries as well as conditioning. The combination of an under- ground aqua treadmill, electronic equicizer and PEMF therapy sets up equine athletes for success. Our aqua treadmill cre- ates buoyancy which lessens body weight by 60% which is opposite resistance from ground training. This is an innovative method to strengthen the topline and nurture injuries. Our staff is professionally trained by the original creators of the aqua tread system to ensure your horse will be led through safely and correctly. We offer the Sports Inno- vation Pro-series 3 in 1 blan- ket, leg and hock wraps with heat, massage and magnetic waves for relaxation and pain management. These top rated treatments have proven results for equine athletes from lesson ponies to Grand Prix Olympi- ans. We would love to give you a tour!
