Success demands peak performance from your horse, and nutrition plays a pivotal role in achieving that goal. With the physical and mental demands of training and competition, maintaining optimal gut health is essential. Standlee’s Gastric Support and Smart Carb™ forage products are designed to fuel your horse while addressing key digestive health concerns.

Why Forage Matters for Performance Horses

Horses are natural foragers, and their digestive systems thrive on a consistent intake of high-quality fiber. However, many performance horses face challenges such as Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) and metabolic disorders, which require carefully selected forage solutions. That’s where Standlee comes in.

Gastric Support: Natural Protection Against Ulcers

For horses prone to gastric ulcers, Standlee’s Forage Plus Gastric Support alfalfa-based forage blend provides a natural buffer against stomach acid. With added marine-derived calcium, ButiPearl Z EQ and pre & pro-biotics, it helps:

  • Maintain a healthy digestive environment
  • Reduce the risk of ulcers in horses under stress
  • Improve nutrient absorption for sustained energy and endurance

Smart Carb™: The Right Forage for Metabolic Health

For horses with insulin resistance, Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), or those needing a low-sugar diet, Smart Carb™ is the ideal choice. Made from low non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) Teff grass, Smart Carb™ provides:

  • Safe, low-NSC forage to support metabolic function
  • Consistent energy without sugar spikes
  • A natural way to manage body condition and performance

Fueling Your Horse for Success

Whether your horse needs gastric support for intense training schedules or a controlled diet for metabolic health, Standlee’s premium forage solutions deliver results. Ensure your equine athlete gets the best foundation for performance, health, and longevity with Gastric Support and Smart Carb™.
