At Valley Equine we provide an unrivaled range of services that include stallion management, mare care and breeding, foaling, recipient mare care, sale preparation, and rehabilitation. Why are we so confident that we can deliver the best care possible to horses in these very different stages of life and work? Because in addition to outstanding veterinary and clinical expertise, a dedicated staff, and state-of-the-art diagnostics and equipment, we incorporate Core Balance’s science-based nutrition in the care of every single horse.
Stallions require proper nutritional support to maintain testosterone levels and make high-quality motile sperm. Broodmares conceive more readily and are more likely to carry a pregnancy successfully when given the proper nutrients. Foals and young growing horses develop correctly when provided optimal nutritional support. Horses undergoing sale preparation benefit from a robust nutritional foundation that optimizes soundness and body condition. Horses undergoing rehabilitation for injury or illness heal more quickly and with fewer setbacks when their bodies are provided with the correct nutrients. The Core Balance product line – Core Complete, Core Developmental Pasture Tubs, and Core Builder — provide these benefits.
Core Complete
We value Core Complete for its flexibility and versatility. It integrates seamlessly into any feeding regimen, providing horses with the missing nutritional puzzle pieces that can be overlooked in hay- or grain-based diets. The most common nutritional omissions in equine diets are inadequate or absent levels of essential amino acids, bioavailable trace minerals, and anti-oxidants – in the absence of adequate levels of these nutrients, horses cannot achieve optimum health and performance. Core Complete remedies these deficits.
Core Complete is formulated to support the full-body needs of adult horses at all stages of life and work, from the hard-working competitor to the retiree. It contains key amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that support the healthy functioning of all body tissues and systems. These nutrients nourish the gastrointestinal tract, the joints, the immune system, the musculoskeletal system, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, the nervous system, and the skin, coat, and feet. Core Complete also contains multiple additional forms of targeted joint and gut support to promote musculoskeletal and gut comfort and optimum nutrient absorption.
Core Developmental Pasture Tubs
Core Developmental Pasture Tubs are formulated to support the needs of broodmares before conception, during pregnancy, and during lactation, and the needs of weanlings, yearlings, and growing horses. It supplies key amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that support conception and pregnancy, lactation, and appropriate growth and development of all body systems prenatally and post-birth, including bones, joints, the immune system, the gut, and the nervous system.
The single greatest influence on the health of the newborn and young, growing horse is the broodmare’s nutritional status. When she is well-supported, at birth foals are ready for life outside the uterus. They stand readily, suckle easily, have strong immune systems, and grow correctly. Young horses’ growth and joint maturation continues to be affected by their mother’s intrauterine
environment long after birth and is further supported by early provision of key nutrients integral to soundness and long-term performance potential.
Core Developmental Pasture Tubs cover these nutritional needs and provide an innovative and simple solution for pregnant and lactating mares, weanlings, yearlings, and two-year-olds. These tubs provide continuous, balanced nutrition right in the pasture or barn, eliminating the complexity of individual feeding.
By starting young horses on the right nutritional path, our vets can support proper fetal development, sound skeletal growth, and the foundation for future athletic success.
Core Builder
Core Builder is formulated to promote optimal body condition by providing muscle-building and muscle-maintaining amino acids, muscle-specific nutrients that directly fuel muscle growth, and key vitamins that mobilize energy, reducing the further loss of muscle and improving the horse’s ability to make new muscle tissue. Core Builder is appropriate for horses that need to build or preserve topline and full-body muscling. It is especially beneficial for performance horses in training or competition and for horses that need to look their best for the sales venue. It is also a powerful restorer of body condition in frail senior horses that struggle with muscle wasting, animals recovering from muscle-wasting infections, and animals undergoing rehabilitation that need to rebuild muscle mass and protect existing muscle mass.
Core Builder can be used with Core Complete or with the Core Developmental Pasture Tub when rapid restoration and optimization of body condition is needed.
