Building a horse's condition & more energy

A vital basic condition is essential for every horse. When you notice that your horse lacks energy, seems listless, or constantly feels tired, targeted supplementation can help. At Dochorse, we offer a wide range of supplements designed to boost energy, increase stamina, and support your horse's vitality—without increasing forage or concentrate feed.

Why supplement with boosters?

Need more energy? Supplements containing B vitamins, iron, or good fats can help increase energy levels and combat fatigue. 

Improve condition? Specific 'energy boosters', such as Cavalor Kick Up or SuperForce, are intended for competitions or short intensive periods. 

Increase endurance? Products with antioxidants like vitamin E, C, and selenium can help eliminate waste products faster and enable quicker recovery. 

When does your horse need an energy supplement?

If your horse has less energy, feels listless, and tired, this can have various causes. It's important to first rule out any medical reasons (such as an iron deficiency and low resistance, etc.). When your horse is trained intensively, its nutritional needs also change. If you feel that your horse has less energy due to an intensive training schedule, a supplement can give your horse more energy and help it through this period. Also, when your horse has to perform intensively for several days in a row (such as at a multi-day competition), a supplement can make all the difference.

Which supplements really help?

  • Basic boosters: products with B vitamins and iron for energy balance.
  • Match-day boosters: such as Cavalor Kick Up for mental and physical energy just before competitions.
  • Recovery support: antioxidants (vitamin E, C, selenium) to reduce muscle fatigue.
  • Sustained energy: supplements with omega fatty acids or proteins that provide energy gradually for endurance. 

Supplements with vitamins and iron

Supplements that provide more energy contain vitamins (mainly vitamin B) and iron. There are also special energy boosters in the form of a paste that you can administer on the day of a competition or strenuous training. Red Cell is a widely used supplement to give your horse more energy. We ourselves also have good experience with the TRM Ironxcell and the Sterivet Mega-Blud.

Our range

We offer products in effective forms: powders, pastes, or liquids. Products are available for daily support and for periods of extra strain. Brands such as Cavalor, Pavo, NAF, and Synovium provide proven formulas for condition, performance, and energy.

    Frequently asked questions about supplements for more energy

  • Why does my horse sometimes need extra energy?

    Horses in intensive training consume more energy than they can recover through normal feed. Energy demands can also increase during heat, pregnancy, or old age, making supplementation useful.
  • Which ingredients improve a horse's energy and condition?

    Important components in energy-rich supplements include:

    • Amino acids like L-carnitine or BCAAs to delay fatigue.
    • B vitamins (B9, B12) for red blood cell production.
    • Healthy fats (such as rice bran oil, gamma-oryzanol) for calories.
    • Fast carbohydrates, electrolytes, minerals, and antioxidants for immediate recovery and performance.
  • When do you notice the effect of an energy supplement?

    Some supplements (like Cavalor An Energy Boost) can provide energy within 15–30 minutes before or after performance. Other products for structural condition work within several days to months with consistent use.

  • Can supplements be combined with your horse's normal diet?

    Absolutely. Supplements should be complementary to a forage and concentrate feed base. They help optimize energy levels.
