Rider Muesli
The Epol Rider Muesli is a premium, highly palatable textured feed designed specifically for competition and sport horses in light to medium work. Unlike standard pellets or meals, this muesli combines a variety of physical textures—including micronized maize, cereal grains, and fibers—to tempt fussy eaters while providing a complex energy profile. It is formulated to deliver sustained energy for stamina without the "heating" effects often associated with high-grain diets, thanks to its elevated fat and oil content.

Key Features
A primary focus of the Rider Muesli is "clinical health"—ensuring the sport horse has the antioxidant support needed to handle the stress of travel and competition. The 5% fat content not only provides stamina but also ensures a superb skin and coat condition, which is often a priority for showing and dressage horses. It is fully fortified, meaning it contains a complete profile of vitamins and minerals tailored to the needs of a horse in regular work, eliminating the need for extra "top-dress" supplements when fed at the correct levels.
Feeding Guidelines
Rider Muesli should be used to supplement high-quality forage, which should make up at least 1.5% of the horse's body weight daily. For a 500kg horse, the daily intake typically falls between 2.5kg and 6kg, depending on the intensity of their work and their current body condition. To maintain digestive safety, individual meals should not exceed 2.5kg.
