Never run out of your horses favourite supplements again!

Don't you hate it when you go to feed up, open the bag of supplements and..... find it empty! 😫
Now you have to wait another week to get the delivery and you horse misses out until the new bag arrives.
In the case of horses who rely on Gastro Go to soothe their gut or Compete to keep greasy heel at bay, a week can be a long time and may even cause a set back.

Now you can set up a subscription to have your Elite Equine Nutrition supplements automatically ordered and delivered to your door. (or PO Box!)

1 ,2 and 3 monthly options available.

You will receive an email 7 days prior to your subscription renewal which gives you time to adjust or skip an order before you are charged.

I know hay can be scarce (not to mention expensive!) at the moment, but...
It's important not to skrimp on the hay if you want to support your horse's gut health.

Your stud’s reputation travels with every yearling you produce, making it essential they enter the industry strong, healthy, and well-prepared for the demands ahead.

As the yearling sales season is in full swing, many young thoroughbreds are entering one of the most physically and mentally demanding periods of their lives.

Preparation for sale, the stress of busy environments, transport, and then transitioning to a new property to spell or begin breaking-in, a change of diet and new friends (both human and equine!) can all place significant strain on a young horse’s digestive system, immunity, and overall condition.

Setting your yearlings up for success is about more than sales-day presentation — it’s about sending them into the industry physically and mentally prepared for the next phase of their careers, carrying your stud name with them.

Elite Equine Nutrition Australia has a supplement to support horses through exactly these high-pressure transitions.

For those unfamiliar with us, we are the sole Australian importers and distributors of high-grade, organic equine supplements from New Zealand, formulated to support gut health, condition, and resilience during periods of stress. Our three signature products are designed to cover the core nutritional needs of horses at every stage — including Thoroughbred and Standardbred yearlings.

COMPETE – The Super Supplement

COMPETE is a carefully formulated probiotic and mineral supplement designed to support gut health, feed efficiency, and overall condition.

During sales preparation and relocation, maintaining digestive stability is critical. COMPETE helps yearlings convert feed effectively, supporting maximum digestion and nutrient uptake at a time when appetite and routine may be disrupted.

Formulated using human food-grade ingredients, COMPETE is a palatable powder easily added to daily feed. The result is yearlings that maintain a healthy gut microbiome which helps them keep their condition, develop a healthy topline, and present with a shiny coat and strong hooves — helping them look and feel their best heading into the sales ring and beyond.

MEGA BUILD – Targeted Muscle & Condition Support

Some yearlings need a little extra support — whether they are later-maturing, struggle to hold condition, or are returning from illness or a growth-related setback.

MEGA BUILD is a premium amino acid supplement designed to support muscle development and condition without adding unnecessary weight. It maximises feed conversion and helps build muscle efficiently, making it ideal for yearlings needing that final polish prior to sale or added support during early preparation phases.

GASTRO GO – Digestive Protection During Stress

Stress-related digestive upset is common in young horses during weaning, sales preparation, transport, and changes in environment.

GASTRO GO is formulated to support digestive health and soothe the stomach and gut during these periods. It is particularly valuable for yearlings facing the cumulative stress of sales, relocation, spelling, and the early stages of breaking-in, and may help reduce the risk of gastric irritation and ulcer formation.

Why Studs Choose Elite Equine Nutrition

Many of our clients report that by incorporating COMPETE or MEGA BUILD into their feeding programs, they have been able to reduce overall feed quantities while still achieving excellent condition and presentation — supporting both horse wellbeing and feed efficiency.

Our focus is simple: helping young horses cope, adapt, and thrive through periods of stress, so they transition smoothly into their next chapter with a strong nutritional foundation.

We would be pleased to discuss how our products may fit into your yearling preparation and post-sale programs.

These products never cease to amaze me!

This broodmare arrived mid December after being at stud in Victoria. She is in foal to Celestial Legend so one we are really looking forward to. Obviously being in a big herd was not entirely her cup of tea. She is a very sensitive soul. Don't get me wrong, she was in ok condition weight wise, she just looked dull in the coat, was not eating that well and certainly needed a bit more condition on her before I was entirely happy.

I started her on COMPETE to get some good minerals and probiotics into her. I was pleased that she started eating the supplement immediately which was a concern as her appetite was not great. I would have liked to put her on Gastro Go also but didn't want to overload her feed too quickly and she was not one that would take kindly to being caught and having it syringed orally every day. We were trying to make friends!

You can see from the AFTER pic how great she looks now! He coat is glowing, her manure has improved in smell and consistency and she is the first one to the gate for pats and feed!

I honestly think these supplements are some of the best on the market in Australia.

Watch this space for the reveal on the new baby in Spring!

Cheers
Julie.

🐴 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐔𝐥𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐮𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬

All horses experience stress every day. Changes in routine, feed times, weather, travel, training, competition and time in the stable all place pressure on the digestive system.

While stomach ulcers get most of the attention, hindgut ulcers are just as common and often missed because they’re harder to diagnose.

🌾 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐔𝐥𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬?
The hindgut includes the cecum and large colon. This is where forage is fermented, water is absorbed, and most of your horse’s gut microbiome lives.
Think of the hindgut like a fermentation vat. When everything is balanced, fibre is turned into energy and the gut lining stays healthy. When stress or diet changes disrupt that balance, the environment becomes unstable and the lining becomes more vulnerable to irritation.

⚠️ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤
Hindgut ulcers usually develop from stacked stressors, including:
• High-starch or sugary diets
• Inconsistent forage intake
• Training and competition
• Travel and new environments
• Limited movement or stabling
• Anti-inflammatory medications

👀 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 (𝐎𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐭𝐥𝐞) 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬
Because hindgut ulcers can’t be seen with a scope, they often show up as whole-horse issues:
• Loose or inconsistent manure
• Belly or flank sensitivity
• Changes in attitude or performance
• Difficulty holding condition
• Recurrent low-grade colic

🌱 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
The hindgut is home to trillions of beneficial microbes that influence digestion, immunity, inflammation, hydration and overall wellbeing. When the microbiome is healthy, the gut lining is better protected and the horse feels better from the inside out.

✨ 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡
Good gut health starts with consistency — plenty of forage, gradual feed changes, good hydration and the right supplement support.
Elite Equine Nutrition’s COMPETE helps support a stable hindgut environment and microbial balance, while GASTRO GO supports gut lining integrity and digestive comfort during daily stress.

💚 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲
Hindgut ulcers are common, often missed, and closely linked to stress and routine changes. Supporting the gut microbiome is one of the most important things you can do for your horse’s comfort, performance and long-term health.

𝐀 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐠𝐮𝐭 = 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞.
