Plant-based oils also generate less heat during the digestive and metabolic processes than
an equivalent amount of grain or forage. A high plant-based oil diet places less heat load
on working horses, reducing electrolyte loss and the amount of sweat needed to stay cool.
This presents a big bonus for hard working horses, especially those training and racing in hot
environments or working over very long distances. Feeding plant-based oil, like Perfect Balance
HempOlive™, provides a source of fatty acids for muscles to burn during the warm up and
slower phases of a competition, meaning muscles are able to conserve valuable glycogen and
avoid fatigue.
