Introducing Your Horse to MUSCLE MAX BARS

Introduce Muscle Max Bar to your horse when they are relaxing in the yard or stable as you would a treat. Break off small pieces of Muscle Max Bar and hand feed them to horse as you would a sugar cube, allowing the horse to adjust to the texture of the bar. If your horse is still hesitant to eat the Muscle Max Bar, below are a few suggestions to help get your horses to eat the bars:

STEP ONE

Break up some very small, sugar cubed-sized pieces of the bar and mix in your hand with some of their usual pellet feed. Hand feed your horse and see if they’re happy to eat the pieces of the bar this way. If they are, then slowly reduce the amount of feed mixed in. Soon, they’ll be eating the bar on its own. If this doesn’t work, try using some liquorice, or another treat you know your horse loves. Cut the treat up the same size as the pieces of the bar and mix them together in your hand, hand feed them again this way.

STEP TWO

If your horse won’t eat it from your hand at all. Then leave a few of the small pieces of the bar on top of their feed in their feed bin overnight. In the morning, if the pieces of bar are gone, then you know that they will eat the bar, you just have to train them to eat it from your hand now.

STEP THREE

If you have another horse nearby that you know loves the taste of the MUSCLE MAX BARS, feed that horse while yours misses out. If your horse is easily motivated by jealousy then this is an acceptable way to get them to eat the bar.

STEP FOUR

Soak small pieces of the MUSCLE MAX BARS in warm water. Then, mix the pieces in with a little bit of chaff, making the bar look more like traditional horse feed. Once they eat this and get the taste through their mouth, put some small pieces of unsoaked bar into the mix. See if they’ll eat the unsoaked bar, if they do, then offer the small pieces of bar from your hand.

• L-Glutamine - a major structural component of muscle which promotes muscle growth by providing the building blocks for muscle tissue
• Molasses - stimulates insulin production which in turn, draws protein into your horse’s muscles facilitating targeted topline building. The sweetness of the molasses also makes the bar highly palatable for your horse
• Pepitas (Pumpkin Seeds) - mega high in protein, Pepitas provide the Muscle Max Bar with a crunchy texture, encouraging your horse to chew
• Sesame Seeds (Tahini) - bind the ingredients within the Muscle Max Bar together to create a convenient 'ready to feed' protein bar

 

 

It sounds amazing - does it really work?

Muscle building processes in a horse require protein and amino acids just like they do in humans. Our bars are the fuss-free way to make these available to your horse right after exercise when they are most effective. Feeding MUSCLE MAX BARS delivers incredible results by providing protein for horses – just read the reviews to hear how equestrians have seen the changes in their horses after using MUSCLE MAX BARS.

How many MUSCLE MAX BARS do I need to feed my horse?

We recommend starting with a loading dose of a feeding a full MUSCLE MAX BAR after every exercise session for the first 3 weeks and then moving to a maintenance feeding rate of half a bar after lighter work and a full bar after heavier work. We recommend feeding half a bar after light work or a lunging session, and feeding a full bar after heavy work or jumping sessions.

Our MUSCLE MAX BARS are made with quality human-grade ingredients and provide your horse with amazing muscle support. For a horse in medium work a 24 Bar Box will last over a month, so we believe that supplementing with our bars is an equivalent or better cost to most horse supplements (multi-mineral, gut support etc) on the market.

Please read our Feeding Guide for more information, and read the reviews from all the equestrians who have tried the bars, and seen dramatic
changes in their horses.

How long do I need to feed MUSCLE MAX BARS to see results?

So long as you’re working your horse a minimum of three times per week and feeding them the MUSCLE MAX BARS within 20 minutes after each session, you’ll see visible topline improvement and building results within 3-6 weeks - we guarantee it. 

Most people see results within 2-3 weeks - we are so confident that you will see changes in your horse that you love, that we have a Six Week Satisfaction Promise... or your money back. 

Which Precision Equine product is best for my horse?

We have two core products: MUSCLE MAX BARS and Intensive Tissue Repair Powder (Australia only). These products can help your horse in different ways and depends on whether your horse requires targeted muscle building and recovery support and/or full body muscle and condition gain support.

MUSCLE MAX BARS – TARGETED MUSCLE BUILDING & RECOVERY FOR PERFORMANCE HORSES

During exercise micro-tears develop in the muscle fibres causing muscle mass break down, this is known as the Catabolic State. After completing exercise the muscles require Amino Acid building blocks (protein) to repair these micro-tears and switch the horses body into the muscle repair and building phase know as the Anabolic State.

Feeding MUSCLE MAX BARS within 15-20 minutes after each exercise session guarantees that your horses muscles have access to the exact Amino Acids, and specifically the 3 Branched Chain Amino Acids Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, required to repair and rebuild – just like human athletes who have a protein shake after gym and training sessions.

INTENSIVE TISSUE REPAIR – FULL BODY MUSCLE & CONDITION GAIN

Our Intensive Tissue Repair powder is specifically formulated for horses who require significant muscle mass gain and full body conditioning support by providing an ultra concentrated dose of the essential amino acids which are often low or lacking entirely in performance horse feeds due to the heat processing involved in steaming and extruding these feeds to make them safer and more efficient to feed.

The availability of sufficient Essential Amino Acids in the horses diet actually controls the ability of the horses body to build every type of tissue and repair damaged tissues, including muscles. Additionally, digestive efficiency in the foregut/small stomach of the horse also relies on a sufficient supply of the Essential Amino Acids in order to produce the digestive enzymes required to efficiently breakdown ingested food into the nutrients available for absorption by the small intestine, more nutrients absorbed in the small intestine means your horse gets more nutrition out of the feed they are already receiving.

Adding Intensive Tissue Repair powder to your performance horses daily hard feed ensures that the horses body has access to an abundance of these Essential Amino Acids to enable optimum nutrient absorption and muscle building, which supports full body muscle and condition gain.

Will MUSCLE MAX BARS make my horse hot?

No the MUSCLE MAX BARS do not heat horses up at all. If anything, they may help to calm horses down by reducing the muscle pain and fatigue — which can often be the cause of poor behavior.

Feeding MUSCLE MAX BARS BEFORE vs. AFTER performance

The MUSCLE MAX BARS can be used in different ways to achieve very different sets of results. Read our article on the benefits of feeding horses protein at different times.

Before exercise – feed half or a full bar 30 minutes before a XC run to provide a serious stamina boost and reduce the onset of fatigue. 

After exercise – feed a half or full MUSCLE MAX BARS within 15-20 minutes of completing every training and competition session to boost muscle recovery and significant muscle development. 

Customise your MUSCLE MAX BARS feeding to suit your horses protein needs - you may feed both before AND after or just before OR after allows. Some horses just need the stamina boost, some really need the muscle mass gains, and some need both. It really just comes down to what your unique goals are for each of your horses fitness and conditioning and then feeding the MUSCLE MAX BARS at the most effective time to achieve that.

Do the MUSCLE MAX BARS contain any FEI Prohibited Substances? Will they show up on a swab?

MUSCLE MAX BARS contain no ingredients or substances that are listed in the FEI restricted, prohibited or swab-able substances regulations. These bars are 100% safe for competing horses to consume. There are many horses who are using the Muscle Max Bars who have been swabbed after competition with no issues.

Will MUSCLE MAX BARS help older horses build muscle and topline?

Older horses will have a harder time digesting and absorbing protein. So, the high quality and highly digestible protein provided by the Whey Protein Isolate in our MUSCLE MAX BARS is easily absorbed by older horses’ guts. This means the protein quickly converts into muscle mass when your horse is fed immediately after exercise.

The best way for you to feed your older horse this bar is by giving them a full bar after work for the first three weeks. This will give them a big muscle building boost — really building their topline. After the first three weeks, you should only need to feed them half a bar after exercise to help maintain and steadily build more muscle.

Can you feed MUSCLE MAX BARS to young horses in show prep?

Our MUSCLE MAX BARS are 100% safe for use in young horses, from the age of weaning onwards. We do, however, strongly recommend only feeding half the recommended amount after each workout if your horse is young. The bars are very powerful muscle builders and it’s important to not have young horses carrying around too much extra condition, because their joints are still developing.

How do I introduce MUSCLE MAX BARS to my horse?

Horses are typically more familiar with receiving treats in the paddock, rather than after work or around their feed time. So, you should try to introduce your horse to the MUSCLE MAX BARS in the paddock, so the bar is already being framed as a treat.

The MUSCLE MAX BARS has a quite different consistency to feed stuffs that your horse may be used to so giving them smaller pieces at first is the best way to introduce the supplement to your horse. Do not offer them the whole bar at once like a carrot.

Break the bar up into very small, sugar cube, sized pieces and mix a few of these with a handful of their regular hard feed in your hand or a small bucket and then reduce the amount of hardfeed in the mix until the horse is eating the MUSCLE MAX BARS on it’s own.

Once your horse wraps their head and tongue around the bar, they’ll fall into a habit of receiving the bar immediately after work. They’ll probably start looking for the bar themselves and reminding you to give it to them. We know a few horses who break into their feed room to claim their bar if they haven’t received it as soon as the bridle has come off.

My horse won't eat the MUSCLE MAX BARS, what do I do?

Sometimes when a horse first bites into our MUSCLE MAX BARS, the new taste, texture, and the amount they need to chew can overwhelm the horse, but most end up eating it within three to four days. It’s all about getting them used to it. Here are a few suggestions to get your horse familiar with the bar.

Is there clinical research supporting the benefits of feeding a horse protein after exercise?

We have shared a number of scientific research articles here showing why horses need protein to build and repair muscle just like people do - as well as loads of rave reviews from equestrians who have seen the results first hand - pop over and have a look!

Almost all equine protein supplements are recommended to be fed within 15-20 minutes of completing exercise for maximum muscle building and recovery results. There is an increasing volume of research showing that post-exercise protein supplementation supports increased muscle recovery and repair.

If you decide to grab a trial pack and see for yourself, shipping is free.

Does the bar contain molasses? 

There are five ingredients in the MUSCLE MAX BARS and yes, molasses in one of them. It’s a very small amount of molasses (30mls per bar).

Sugar is a great form of usable energy and horses use a lot of energy when they work for us. Providing them with the human-grade molasses in our bars right after exercise helps facilitate muscle recovery and repair, and the sugar will be ‘burned up’ in the process.

It will not heat up your horse at all, or exacerbate conditions such as Insulin Resistance, laminitis risk, PSSM, EMS or Cushings as long as you’re using the product correctly. Check our feeding guide to ensure your horse gets just the right amount.

Is the protein whey-based?

The whey protein isolate in MUSCLE MAX BARS is considered the gold standard of protein supplements - It is over 90% protein, contains excellent levels of all of the essential amino acids and less than 0.1% lactose. It offers the most superior quantity of Branched Chain Amino Acids, which play a major role in muscle growth and recovery after exercise. It is especially rich in Leucine, an amino acid that is scientifically proven to be of exceptional benefit to the exercising horse.

The idea that dairy is bad for horses comes from the fairly innocuous discovery in scientific research that the lactose in dairy products can give some horses softer stools, (which none of our customers have reported).

Some of the protein in the Intensive Tissue Repair Powder is also plant-based.
