What is Pea Protein for Horses?
Forageplus Organic Pea Protein for Horses is a high-quality, plant-based protein powder that helps improve your horse’s protein intake. Pea protein is an excellent source of branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine), and it contains more arginine than any other commercially available protein.
Our Organic Pea Protein has a protein content of 85%, with a sugar and starch content under 1% combined. Ideal for supplementing your horse’s diet with high-quality protein, especially for those with specific dietary requirements or sensitivities.

Why Feed Pea Protein to Horses?
Pea protein for horses offers a rich source of essential amino acids to support healthy muscle development, hoof quality, and overall well-being. Here are the key reasons why you should consider adding pea protein to your horse’s diet:
- Improves protein availability: Pea protein helps maximise the utilisation of protein, especially when forage may be low in protein due to nitrogen and sulphur imbalances in the soil.
- Ideal for horses with dietary sensitivities: Pea protein is milk, egg, and soya-free, making it a perfect alternative for horses with food allergies or sensitivities.
- Boosts stamina and muscle mass: Pea protein supports muscle growth and topline development, especially in horses undergoing heavy training or experiencing growth spurts.
- Supports horses with poor hoof health: Pea protein provides the necessary nutrients for stronger hooves and improved hoof connection.
- Perfect for energy-controlled diets: Pea protein is ideal for horses that need extra protein without the added calories that come with feeding more concentrates.
- Suitable for laminitis-prone horses: With under 1% sugar and starch, pea protein is safe for sugar-sensitive horses.
Our pea protein powder is easily digestible and provides your horse with a high-quality protein source, especially when hay or forage is deficient in protein. Pea protein offers an excellent balance of amino acids that help with muscle repair, immune function, and overall health.
Who Will Benefit from Pea Protein for Horses?
Pea Protein is perfect for the following horses:
- Good-doers on a restricted hay ration to control digestible energy intake.
- Laminitis-prone horses who need a low sugar and starch protein source due to sugar sensitivity.
- Older horses struggling to maintain their topline or muscle mass.
- Horses with low-protein forage: Those who have access to hay or grass with low protein levels, as determined by a nutritional analysis.
- Winter diet horses: Horses on a pure winter grass diet, which tends to be low in protein and can lead to hoof and skin issues.
- Horses with poor hoof connection, especially barefoot horses that need stronger soles and white line connection.
- Horses in heavy work, requiring additional protein for performance and recovery.
- Young horses needing higher protein levels for growth.
- Pregnant or lactating mares on a forage-based diet that need a protein boost.
