Why Digestive HP for my horse?
If your high performance horse is struggling with occasional soft manure, poor digestion, body condition, poor performance and recovery, poor behavior and even lack-lustre hoof health and dull coat condition, it’s likely that the trillion of microbiomes in his gut are overworked and need help.
This is especially relevant for high performance horses who face higher gut health risks because of travel, intense exercise and heat stress.
Supports The Entire Gut
Many supplements focus on just one part of the gut. Digestive HP’s unique blend of pre and postbiotics, digestive enzymes, plus amino acids works from the foregut to the hindgut, covering all 23 yards of the digestive system.
High Performance
A healthy gut means horses can benefit from more effective digestion, reducing wasted feed, and better condition. Your horse will feel and look better, with trainable energy and behavior to perform at their highest level.
Recommended By Veterinarians
We’ve collaborated with experts in their fields to develop a science-backed, nature-based gut health supplement that is recommended and endorsed by veterinarians, nutritionists and microbiologists.
MADE IN THE UNITED STATES FROM HIGH QUALITY INGREDIENTS
We take pride in where we source and how we make our products, and only use the highest quality ingredients.
Digestive HP BEnefits
More Efficient Feed Conversion
Through balanced electrolyte ratios, and an increase in the functional gut surface area, enzymes in Digestive HP enhance normal digestive function, enabling optimum feeding while supporting healthy hindgut bacteria and efficient fiber digestion.
Calm Trainable Energy
Encouraging a more stable gut environment decreases anxiety.
Supporting hindgut bacteria also enhances the production of calming B vitamins and hormones, plus increased muscle energy through fiber fermentation.
Easier Right Canter Lead
Because the hindgut sits on the right side of the horse, any pressure on this when the hindgut is agitated will cause discomfort for your horse.
This makes movements like the lifting of the back in the right canter transition, the left to right flying change, or the right canter pirouette difficult as the lack of bend and lift prevents the right hind leg reaching through under the horse to take the weight.
When your horse's hindgut is healthy, these movements become easier.
Shiny Coat
The decrease in cortisol production from reduced stress associated with a healthy gut leads to the building of a stronger skin barrier, and a more robust hair fiber quality.
Reduced Girthiness
A gut in distress causes discomfort, especially around the area of the large colon near the girth.
Supporting gut health reduces discomfort, and helps tolerance to girth pressure.

What does Digestive HP do?
Digestive HP is a complete gut health supplement, designed to maintain and strengthen great gut health for all horses, and especially high performance horses.
Benefits from great gut health are:
- Healthier appearance
- Happier, easier behavior
- Stronger appetite
- Better performance
Horses can not and will not perform to their full potential if things in their gut aren’t right.
The reduced hormone and vitamin production, reduced appetite, feed digestion and supply of energy, leaky gut, and compromised immune function that occur when gut health is compromised all contribute to horses having poor performance.
And research continues to show us how certain disease states, anxiety and hyperactive behavior that reduces rider safety and horse welfare are all linked to gut health.
By feeding in a way that supports gut health, we are able to support a horse’s mental and physical wellbeing, behavior and performance!
What are the ingredients?
Digestive HP contains:
A Saccharomyces cerevisiae Prebiotic and Postbiotic blend that has been proven to:
- Support the hindgut fiber fermenting bacteria, to increase the amount of muscle energy they are able to produce via fiber fermentation.
- Reduce whole-body stress, with horses supplemented having lower serum cortisol and lower serum amyloid A (SAA) after exercise; and
- Support joint health, with supplemented horses having lower Prostaglandin E2 (a biomarker used to assess inflammation) in their joints following exercise.
Two acid buffers; Marine Algae Calcium and Magnesium Hydroxide, to help maintain a normal stomach PH.
A Balanced Calcium to Magnesium Ratio is necessary to assist with bone health, nervous system function and behavior.
Essential Amino Acids. L-Threonine, L-Glutamine, L-Proline, L-Serine and L-Leucine are designed to improve mucous production and reinforce gut wall support to reduce susceptibility to injury.
Digestive Enzymes. Alpha-amylase, Beta-glucanase, Beta-xylanase, to enhance the digestion of starch in the small intestine and maximise muscle energy provided as glucose/glycogen.
Phytase Enzymes to help break down phytate preventing it from negatively impacting the digestion and absorption of other important nutrients.
A Mycotoxin Binder; to reduce the harmful and frequently undiagnosed impact of fungal mycotoxins commonly present in hay, chaff and grains.
How are Digestive HP and Stress Paste different?
Whilst you may see similar benefits with these products, their intended usage is what makes Digestive HP and Stress Paste fundamentally different.
Digestive HP is the every day gut-health supplement that supports your high performance horse through their day-to-day stressors, to keep them performing at their best.
Available in both 10lb and 40lb sizing, the powdered form makes it ideal to include twice daily in standard feeding routines.
Stress Paste plays best in instances of acute stress, designed to deliver immediate gut and nervous system support in the face of high impact events including competition, travel and extreme weather.
Conveniently formulated in a concentrated paste, Stress Paste is easy to give within 2 hours of a known or predicted stressful event, rather than fed as daily maintenance where Digestive HP is the product of choice!
How Soon Will I See A Result From Using Digestive HP?
Horse owners who are using Digestive HP often report seeing improved changes in as early as 1 week, with horses appearing calmer and more settled.
Another noticeable improvement is in the consistency of manure. Some horses that have been scouring for months have reportedly formed solid manure within days of using our digestive gut supplement.
In as little as two weeks, horse owners are beginning to see improved top line and condition, particularly noticing filling out above the flanks around the loin area.
After 3-4 weeks people are consistently noticing significant behavioral, performance, and recovery improvements, as well as a noted improved suppleness under saddle and putting on weight.
If you don’t see a result that quickly, don’t panic. Every horse is different with some taking longer to respond due to repopulation of healthy microbes, particularly in their hindgut. If your horse doesn’t have obvious outward symptoms of gastrointestinal upset, positive changes are going to be less obvious but can be as subtle as improved hoof growth and increased immunity.
But remember, seeing the results is just the start. Supporting optimal digestion and the health of your horse’s gastrointestinal tract longer term with the correct diet in combination with Digestive HP will ensure optimal health and performance into the future.
What Evidence Do You Have That Digestive HP Is Effective?
As part of the research and design phase of our digestive gut health supplement, we initially conducted trials with an early formulation. This formulation was tested on a variety of horses across different disciplines, yielding consistent reports of improvements in condition, topline, behavior, manure consistency, performance, appearance, and stress resilience. Since then, the formulation has only improved, further enhancing these benefits.
Additionally, a separate field study was conducted by Professor Andrew Dart (BVSc PhD, Dip ACVS, Dip ECVS) from the University of Sydney, with a cohort of randomly selected horses. The results showed a remarkable increase in feed conversion, with some horses experiencing up to ninefold increases in weekly weight gain. Prof. Dart commented, "It is difficult to dismiss the relationship between weight gain and the addition of this supplement."
Ingredient selection is at the heart of what we do. In Digestive HP, we only use raw ingredients that have been extensively researched across multiple species, meeting the highest standards of scientific evaluation. Each ingredient is carefully chosen based on its proven functionality, with inclusion rates aligned with research to ensure their effectiveness in equine health. While we don’t conduct the original research on individual ingredients, we source only those that are backed by robust science and incorporate them into a formulation designed specifically for horses.
Digestive HP is now supported by thousands of testimonials from horse owners and receives strong support, recommendations, and endorsements from veterinarians.
Is Digestive HP Safe For Laminitic Horses?
Yes it is. Like everything with Laminitic horses, introduce it slowly, just to be on the safe side. Laminitics can be unpredictable, so slow is always best when adding something new to their diet.
Does Digestive HP Help Gastric Ulcers?
Digestive HP is not designed to treat existing gastric ulcers. Please consult your veterinarian about treatment with a registered gastric ulcer medication if your horse has confirmed ulcers. The veterinarian should be able to properly diagnose stomach ulcers via a gastroscopy and determine if your horse requires treatment with a prescription medication.
Once your horse has been diagnosed and commenced treatment for ulcers, Digestive HP can be used (alone or in conjunction with the treatment).
Can Digestive HP Be Fed To Pregnant and Lactating Mares?
Yes, Digestive HP can be safely fed to pregnant and lactating mares to support their gut health and potentially also their milk production. It should be fine for foals to nibble on a bit of their mother's feed containing Digestive HP. However, as there aren't studies specifically aimed at foals for a majority of the ingredients, we can't recommend giving it as part of a foal's feed.
Is It Safe To Use With Other Supplements?
As Digestive HP includes ingredients specifically designed to address gut health, it should be safe to feed alongside most other feeds and supplements. You may find that with the addition of Digestive HP and a balanced diet with vitamins and minerals, your horse may not need additional supplements. For example, Digestive HP contains a good amount of calcium, magnesium and a toxin binder, so if you are already feeding another supplement with those in it, you may find you can cut it out. No need to waste money on over-supplementing.
Please note that our supplements are not complete feeds and should be paired with a balanced diet and adequate amounts of forage.
I suggest you run your horse's current diet through our free, online Diet Calculator, Feed Assist. This useful tool will suggest which, if any, other supplements your horse may be lacking. A more comprehensive and detailed calculator is FeedXL, however this is a pay to use service.
How Long Will A 10lb Sachet of Digestive HP Last?
A 10lb sachet will normally last a 1000lb horse 35 days.
Power Your Horse’s Performance From Within
Most supplements target one area of the gut. Digestive HP is multi-faceted, highly efficient, with a blend of prebiotics and postbiotics, digestive enzymes and amino acids - that works all the way through the foregut, hindgut and intestine.
