Train ‘n Leisure Cubes
Epol Train ‘n Leisure Cubes are a popular, multi-purpose ration designed for horses in light to medium work. This feed strikes a balance between the "too calm" maintenance feeds and the "too hot" racing rations. It is specifically formulated to provide enough energy for a horse to stay focused and capable during training sessions without causing the over-excitability that can interfere with learning and performance.

Key Features
The Train ‘n Leisure Cube is built to support a working horse's physical and mental health. It features:
- Balanced Energy: It uses a combination of energy sources to provide both immediate and sustained fuel for daily exercise.
- Muscle Support: The 12% protein level, supported by quality amino acids, is higher than maintenance diets to help develop and repair muscle tissue during regular training.
- Full Fortification: It contains a complete spectrum of vitamins and minerals, including added electrolytes and antioxidants, which are vital for horses that sweat during work.
- Cube Format: The large pellet size encourages chewing, which aids in saliva production and buffers stomach acid, reducing the risk of gastric discomfort.
Feeding Guidelines
As with all Epol concentrates, this should be fed alongside high-quality roughage (hay or pasture) totaling at least 1.5% of the horse's body weight.
- Light Work: 2.0 kg to 4.0 kg per day for a 500 kg horse.
- Medium Work: 4.0 kg to 6.0 kg per day.
- Management: Always split the total daily ration into at least two (ideally three) meals. For horses in regular training, ensuring they have access to salt or an extra electrolyte supplement is recommended, especially in warmer climates.
