Horses of the week – Ailsa Sexton’s Journey with Equinectar
- by Eleni Makraki
With experience in many equestrian activities from 3 day eventing, hunting, polo, showjumping and showing, Ailsa Sexton mainly concentrates on showjumping these days. Bringing unbroken 3/4 year olds up through the levels to grandprix level is where she gets the most satisfaction and success. Looking after all aspects of each horse's well-being and training schedule requires her wealth of experience but also flexibility to try new products and training programmes. With a focus on feeding natural products, gut health and limiting sugar Ailsa discovered Equinectar which has undoubtedly turned all her horses inside out both mentally and physically.
Chloe, a talented Thoroughbred mare by Verdi, used to show significant discomfort during grooming and saddling. She's now noticeably more relaxed during handling and training.
Daisy, another promising Thoroughbred mare (by Zambesi out of Diamant de Semilly), had similar sensitivity issues and struggled with flying lead changes. Both problems have shown remarkable improvement with Equinectar®.
Easton Z, a warmblood who also suffered from reduced quantity and dry consistency stools and gas/spasmodic pains especially when riding...
... has shown great improvement in all of the above resulting in a happier, more forward and healthy horse!
Simba an 11 year old Irish sport horse by Ringfort Cruise who tended to be very spooky and sharp has relaxed considerably since starting Equinectar his stool consistency was often too loose now also appears normal.
Woody, an 8 year old Irish sport horse by Cobra 18 tended to suffer with dry, reduced quantity of stools and an impression of stomach pains which sometimes made his gait shorter and his movement less freer.
Since starting Equinectar he now has more vitality, his stool quantity and consistency has become normal and he is moving and jumping better than ever before.
The results speak for themselves - since introducing Equinectar to her program, every horse in Sexton's stable has shown significant improvement in both health and performance.
As the competition season approaches, Sexton is thrilled with the overall improvements in her horses' health and performance. Follow her Facebook page for ongoing updates about her horses' progress and competition results.
