Feed Focus - Competitor
Feed like a Pro.
Our ultimate performance feed, developed in partnership with Kentucky Equine Research (KER), Barastoc Competitor is a fully fortified pelleted feed designed to fuel performance horses across a range of disciplines—from dressage, endurance and eventing to racehorses in training or spelling. With a scientifically designed blend of energy sources and digestible fibres, Barastoc Competitor delivers consistent, controlled energy to help horses perform at their peak while supporting muscle development, recovery, and digestive health.
Why Choose Barastoc Competitor? Barastoc Competitor provides energy from multiple sources including cooked cereal grains for fast release energy, vegetable oil for slow-release energy, and super fibres like beet pulp and soy hulls that are calorie-dense yet gentle on the gut. This makes it ideal for horses in full work who need stamina and condition—without over feeding. Supports muscle repair and strength. Quality protein sources that are balanced in essential amino acids—Lysine, Methionine and Threonine— essential for muscle growth, recovery and overall body function.
Advanced Micronutrient Support. Formulated by the scientists at KER, Competitor’s comprehensive micronutrient profile includes: Balanced macro minerals and organic trace minerals for skeletal health Natural Vitamin E to support muscle and immune function Organic chromium, shown in research to support lean muscle mass and nutrient use during periods of intense work or recovery Whether you’re chasing ribbons or building back condition in a spelling horse, Barastoc Competitor provides the calm energy, digestibility and muscle-building nutrition needed to perform—and recover—at every stage.
A study carried out at Kentucky Equine Research (KER) reported that supplementing performance horses with 5 mg/day of chromium in the form of chromium yeast had a beneficial effect on the response to exercise stress. Horses were subjected to a standard exercise test on a high-speed treadmill and blood and heart rate were monitored. The horses receiving chromium cleared blood glucose following a meal more quickly than control horses and showed lower peak insulin values and cortisol levels.
How to Feed Feed in conjunction with good-quality hay or pasture. Introduce gradually over 7–10 days and adjust quantities based on workload and body condition. For tailored advice, reach out to our Barastoc nutrition team or complete a free diet analysis online at barastochorse.com.au/diet-request.
