At Cavalor, we strongly support the “feed as you need” principle.
No excess energy or protein, enough fibre in the ration, and breaks to let the horse recover from periods of hard work.

Such breaks are important, because these days one can count show-free weekends on one hand. A dangerous development, especially when you only have one or a few horses. It’s almost impossible to keep your horse in top form throughout the entire year, because constant “pushing” results in fatigue and reduced performance.

An occasional break gives your horse the chance to get back to full strength for top performance later. Regular rest periods help the horse to deliver more consistent peak performance long-term.

The ideal moment for such a break is often between seasons. For your horse to perform its best the following season, its internal system must be functioning properly.
