SUCCEED®: Every Horse at Its Best!

As the makers of SUCCEED®, Freedom Health’s goal is “Every horse at its best!” The aim is to help owners take their horses from good to great by achieving optimal gastrointestinal tract health.

The proven ingredients in SUCCEED® help maintain equine GI health in horses that face digestive challenges because of stressful lifestyles. But greatness is not only measured in the show arena. We believe every horse deserves to feel and look its best, whatever its job may be.

Read on to learn how SUCCEED® can benefit horses of every age, discipline, and level of competition, including retired horses.

How SUCCEED® Supports Every Horse

Research shows that travel, breeding, and competition can raise the risk of gastrointestinal problems in horses. Yet even horses without busy show schedules can struggle with poor GI tract health and benefit from an equine digestive health supplement. (Luthersson et al., 2010)

Digestive problems can have significant negative effects on equine performance and well-being. With SUCCEED®, owners can help their horses feel and look their best in every situation by supporting good GI tract health and digestive function.

Breeding

Managing GI tract health is an essential part of preparing horses for breeding season. Good digestive function and balanced nutrition make sure horses receive the nutrients they need for reproductive processes.

A healthy body condition also supports fertility in stallions and lactation in mares. Healthy digestion also supports the production of quality colostrum for healthy foals. (Hintz et al., 1983)

Sales

SUCCEED® can benefit sales programs by promoting good attitudes and appearances. Discomfort anywhere in the digestive system can contribute to poor temperament and behavior problems that may turn potential buyers away. Optimal nutrient absorption, on the other hand, helps maintain body condition and a shiny coat so sale horses look their best.

Rodeo

Optimal GI tract health helps horses run their best, but life on the rodeo road can add stress and contribute to digestive problems. SUCCEED® supplies essential nutrients that help keep the digestive system balanced and comfortable during travel and competition, so horses can stay focused on barrels and roping.

Racing

Racehorses have a high rate of gastrointestinal problems. Stress at the track and high-energy diets can compromise GI tract health. By feeding SUCCEED® to racehorses, owners can help their horses get the energy they need for speed without raising the risk of digestive problems that could hold them back. (Dionne et al., 2003)

Showing

Supporting digestive health is a top priority when preparing horses for competition. Show horses need to feel and look their best to earn top marks in the ring. However, intense training and competition can raise nutritional demands and create digestive health challenges. (Hartmann et al., 2003)

Some training problems in show horses can stem from GI discomfort. SUCCEED® helps horses get show-ready with ongoing nutritional support that benefits appearance, attitude, and behavior.

Hauling & Stalling

Most horses today live very differently from the natural lifestyles of their wild ancestors. The equine digestive system evolved to thrive on constant movement and forage. Long periods of stall confinement can have a significant effect on GI tract health in horses. (Luthersson et al., 2010)

Many horses today spend at least part of the day in a stall, even if they do not compete. Horses that do compete often spend a lot of time away from home in unfamiliar surroundings, which can raise stress and interrupt feeding routines.

SUCCEED® helps maintain horse digestive health on the road and at home, so horses can feel their best and get the most out of their diet, whatever their lifestyle.

Retirement

Older horses in retirement lead lower-stress lives than performance horses, but they can still struggle with digestive problems that lower their quality of life in their golden years. Many owners find it hard to keep weight on senior horses as they age and their ability to chew declines. (Jarvis et al., 2017)

SUCCEED® helps senior horses maintain body condition by promoting optimal digestive function and nutrient absorption. Better nutrient absorption also benefits every other body system in aged horses, contributing to a higher quality of life.

See Your Horse at Its Best with SUCCEED®!

SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program® is a daily nutritional supplement for healthy gastrointestinal function in all horses. Developed on a solid foundation of science, SUCCEED® contains natural ingredients that help maintain the health of the entire digestive tract.

These ingredients include:

  • Oat Oil: Polar lipids from oat oil protect the intestinal mucosa and strengthen the lining of the GI tract.
  • Oat Flour: Beta-glucan from oat flour slows transit through the GI tract, supporting optimal nutrient absorption and protecting the hindgut from undigested starch.
  • Yeast Products: Nucleotides and mannan oligosaccharides encourage the growth of intestinal villi and beneficial microbiota.
  • L-Glutamine: This conditionally essential amino acid supplies nitrogen for the immune cells of the intestinal mucosa and helps maintain the integrity of the GI tract lining.
  • L-Threonine: This essential amino acid supports mucus production and the regeneration of the GI tract wall.

Benefits owners often notice within the first 60 days on SUCCEED® include:

  • Improved appetite and body condition
  • A willing, relaxed attitude
  • Healthier haircoat and hooves
  • Less resistance in training and faster recovery

The benefits do not end at 60 days. SUCCEED® is a once-a-day, every-day nutritional program for total equine digestive tract health. Once you see your horse at its best, keep it there by making SUCCEED® part of your daily feeding routine.
