Benchmark Achieve® - Sport

A complete premium muesli style ration for racehorses or sport horses working in disciplines where a high level of fitness is required.

Achieve®-Sport is a premium, muesli style feed bringing together several critical elements that stamp it as a high-performance feed:

  • Highly digestible micronised barley and corn, delivering glycogen to muscle fibres effectively and efficiently and avoiding issues that may be caused by poorly digested grain-based feeds.
  • Highly fermentable super fibres to help stimulate the production of Volatile Fatty Acids, (VFAs) a horses natural, long lasting energy supply, supporting horses to maintain peak performance for longer.
  • Nutrient rich, with high levels of antioxidants, (including Vitamin E) to support muscle function and recovery after strenuous exercise.
  • High quality protein to provide Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) and Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) for energy and to support muscle development.
  • Agrimos® prebiotic and Yea-Sacc® probiotic for microbiome support.

Notes from our Consultant Nutritionist

  1. Recharge the Muscle Batteries - Horses need good levels of energy in their diets to function and perform at their best. With increased activity, horses burn up the stored energy in their muscles needed for that strong finish, like that final sprint or that last big jump. Benchmark Achieve®-Sport contains higher levels of energy needed for the higher performing horse, achieved through fat content in the feed, microbial fermentation of fibre producing “cool” energy, and micronised grains providing that all important muscle battery recharge.
  2. Super Fibres – Fibre is the natural source of feed for horses and Benchmark Achieve®-Sport is packed with some of the best super fibres available. Lupin hulls enhance microbial fermentation in the hindgut, improving digestion, vitamin production and overall health. It only makes sense to feed something natural to your best friend!
  3. A Complete Feed – Benchmark Achieve®- Sport is heavily fortified with essential nutrients, all designed to enhance and improve the health, performance, and recovery of your equine athlete. Provide ample quality forage and water with Achieve®-Sport for a quality diet.
  4. Immune Boosting – Benchmark Feeds Achieve®-Sport contains immune boosting minerals such as copper, zinc, manganese, selenium, iodine and chromium plus many high-quality antioxidants.
  5. Gut Health – Benchmark Achieve®-Sport contains good levels of pre- and pro-biotics, designed to improve your horse’s gut and overall health.
  6. Muscle Recovery - When athletes perform, their muscles become stressed and are continuously broken down and rebuilt. Performance horses are no different. With the rigours of continual, higher-level activity, the risk of performance horses suffering injuries increases. Benchmark Achieve™-Sport contains good levels of essential amino acids, necessary for repairing stressed muscles plus high levels of chromium, scientifically proven to help prevent muscle breakdown and wastage.
