Why Choose Vitamin B Plus for Horses?
Vitamin B Plus is our complete B vitamins for horses supplement, supplying all 8 B vitamins. B vitamins are needed for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, releasing energy from feed, and play a role in DNA synthesis and amino acid conversion.
Horses in hard work, horses on hay or haylage rather than grass, and horses facing changes in diet or routine may benefit from additional B vitamins in the diet.
Key Benefits of Vitamin B Plus for Horses:
- High doses of all 8 B vitamins: A complete B-complex in one small daily scoop.
- Energy metabolism: B vitamins are needed to convert carbohydrates, fats and proteins from feed into energy.
- Skin, hooves and red blood cells: B vitamins are needed for normal skin and hoof growth and the formation of red blood cells.
- Filling forage gaps: Useful where forage quality is poor or hay is soaked, as B vitamin levels can be low.
- Hard-working and performance horses: Suited to horses competing in endurance, racing, eventing or hunting, where energy turnover is high.

What Are B Vitamins for Horses?
B vitamins are a group of water-soluble vitamins essential for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. They help convert these nutrients into energy and are needed for normal nerve function.
Horses on low-quality forage, horses in hard work and older horses may need additional B vitamins in the diet. B vitamins are also needed by tissues with high turnover, including skin and hooves.
While B vitamins are naturally found in fresh grass and good-quality forage, the process of curing forage into hay or haylage can significantly reduce their levels. Horses on soaked hay or high-cereal diets are more likely to be short of B vitamins.
Why Supplement with Vitamin B Plus?
Vitamin B Plus provides all the essential B vitamins in high doses, helping to fill nutritional gaps where forage quality is low or the diet is unbalanced. It is suited to:
- Stabled horses: Horses without access to fresh grass or high-quality forage during winter months.
- High-performance horses: Horses involved in racing, eventing or endurance have a higher demand for B vitamins because of their higher energy turnover.
- Older horses: Older horses eating less forage can benefit from a direct source of B vitamins.
- Horses eating less forage: Horses whose forage intake has dropped, for example on restricted grazing, may need a direct source of B vitamins.
