The Household Cavalry, an institution steeped in history and tradition, is made up of the two most senior regiments in the British Army: The Life Guards and The Blues & Royals. Since 1660, the Household Cavalry has served as the monarch's trusted guardians and is often the public face of the British Army, both domestically and internationally. Today, we are excited to announce that the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment has chosen EquiNectar® to optimize digestion and overall well-being in their horses.
A major part of the Household Cavalry's appeal and respect comes from the sight of the impeccably turned-out horses, known as chargers, and their riders. These magnificent animals participate in numerous state ceremonies, embodying discipline, grace, and endurance. Given the demands of their role, maintaining optimal health is not just important but essential.
Understanding the vital role nutrition plays in the health and performance of these horses, the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment has made a significant decision. They've chosen EquiNectar®, a leading name in equine nutrition, to ensure their horses receive optimal digestive support.
EquiNectar®, developed from extensive research into equine gut health, aims to maximize the efficiency of digestion in horses, thereby enhancing their overall health and performance. With EquiNectar®, the Regiment's horses are expected to benefit from improved nutrient absorption, better preparing them for the demanding roles they undertake.
The relationship between a horse's gut health and its overall performance, temperament, and health is increasingly recognized. The 'gut-brain axis' shows how an imbalance in the gut's bacterial environment can trigger discomfort and unpredictable behavior—traits that are less than ideal for a horse that represents the British Army in a very public capacity. EquiNectar® works by preventing such imbalances, promoting a healthier, more stable gut environment.
The decision by the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment to incorporate EquiNectar® into their horses' diets illustrates their commitment to the well-being of these extraordinary animals. This choice is a testament to EquiNectar®'s effectiveness and aligns with their dedication to ensuring peak performance, both physically and mentally, from their horses.
In addition to this exciting news, Tharos company chairman Douglas Dundonald, whose great-grandfather commanded the Life Guards, expressed his satisfaction, stating, “We are absolutely thrilled to be given this opportunity to contribute to the well-being of the Household Cavalry’s horses. Their choice of EquiNectar® is not just a validation of our product but a responsibility we embrace wholeheartedly.”
