RE-FUEL GEL

Using PRE-FUEL GEL and RE-FUEL GEL together helps support equine performance, hydration, energy production, and post-exercise recovery. PRE-FUEL GEL is formulated to support energy levels, muscle function, and stamina before hard exercise, training, or competition. RE-FUEL GEL is designed to support recovery after exercise by helping to rehydrate the horse and aid normal muscle recovery.

When used as part of a pre- and post-competition routine, PRE-FUEL GEL and RE-FUEL GEL help support optimum performance and prepare your horse for the next training session or event.

PRE-FUEL and RE-FUEL are available in both liquid and gel formats to suit different feeding routines and competition schedules. The liquid and gel versions can be used interchangeably depending on your horse’s needs.

PRE-FUEL LIQUID and RE-FUEL LIQUID are ideal for daily use to support ongoing hydration, recovery, and performance in horses in regular work. PRE-FUEL GEL and RE-FUEL GEL are designed for targeted use around exercise, competition, travel, or intense training sessions.

For example, many riders use PRE-FUEL GEL before competition to support energy and performance, while using RE-FUEL LIQUID daily in feed to help maintain hydration and muscle recovery after exercise.

Vitamin E is an important antioxidant for horses and plays a key role in supporting muscle health, recovery, and cellular function. During exercise and energy production, free radicals are produced in the body, which can contribute to oxidative stress and muscle fatigue.

Vitamin E helps neutralise these free radicals, supporting recovery after strenuous exercise and helping maintain normal muscle function. Performance horses and horses in harder work typically require higher levels of antioxidants, including Vitamin E, than horses at rest.

While most horse feeds contain Vitamin E, additional supplementation before and after intense exercise or competition can help support performance, recovery, and overall equine wellbeing. As with any supplement, it is important to follow recommended feeding guidelines to avoid excessive intake.

Yes, PRE-FUEL and RE-FUEL are safe for competition use in both liquid and gel formats. Both products carry Foran Equine’s S.A.F.E. (Suitable for All Equine) mark of approval, meaning they do not contain prohibited substances and do not require a withdrawal period before competition.

PRE-FUEL and RE-FUEL can be used confidently as part of your horse’s competition, training, and recovery routine.

Yes, if your horse does not like oral syringes, both PRE-FUEL and RE-FUEL are also available in liquid formulations that can be easily added to feed.

PRE-FUEL LIQUID and RE-FUEL LIQUID are designed for top-dressing feed and provide daily support for equine energy, hydration, muscle function, and recovery. This makes them a convenient option for horses that prefer supplements mixed into their normal feeding routine.

PRE-FUEL GEL and PRE-FUEL LIQUID are formulated to support energy production and muscle function in performance horses without relying on high sugar stimulants. The products contain branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which help support stamina, recovery, and muscle performance during exercise and competition.

Many riders choose PRE-FUEL to support performance horses that need additional energy and endurance. However, every horse responds differently to nutritional support. If your horse is naturally highly strung or sensitive, we recommend trialling PRE-FUEL at home before using it at competition

Hydrolysed protein is protein that has been broken down into smaller amino acid chains using a process called hydrolysis. This makes the protein easier for horses to digest and absorb, improving bioavailability and supporting faster nutrient uptake.

Hydrolysed protein helps support muscle development, post-exercise recovery, and normal muscle function in performance horses. Rapidly absorbed amino acids can also help reduce muscle stiffness and soreness after training, competition, or strenuous exercise.

Yes, PRE-FUEL and RE-FUEL are suitable for ponies in both liquid and gel formats. These equine performance and recovery supplements can be used safely in ponies when fed according to the recommended feeding guidelines.

Always adjust the serving size based on your pony’s bodyweight, workload, and activity level to ensure appropriate nutritional support.

BCAAs, or branched-chain amino acids, include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These are essential amino acids for horses, meaning they cannot be produced naturally by the horse’s body and must be supplied through nutrition or supplementation.

BCAAs play an important role in supporting muscle recovery, muscle development, stamina, and performance in horses. They are especially beneficial for competition horses and horses in hard work, as intense exercise increases the demand for amino acids needed for muscle repair and recovery.

B-vitamins play an important role in supporting energy metabolism, appetite, and feed utilisation in horses. They help the body convert feed into usable energy and support normal digestive and metabolic function.

Horses under stress, in hard training, or on low-forage or high-intensity exercise programmes may have increased demand for B-vitamins. Supplementing with B-vitamins after exercise can help support appetite and recovery, particularly in horses that are slow to eat following competition, racing, or strenuous work.

RE-FUEL LIQUID and RE-FUEL GEL provide a comprehensive post-exercise recovery solution, combining electrolytes with B-vitamins and antioxidants. While standard electrolyte supplements mainly replace minerals lost in sweat, RE-FUEL is formulated to support a wider recovery response.

RE-FUEL helps support rehydration, electrolyte replacement, muscle recovery, and post-exercise appetite. This makes it particularly suitable for competition horses, endurance horses, and horses in intense training where recovery demands are higher than electrolyte replacement alone.

Yes, RE-FUEL GEL can be used after competition to support rapid post-exercise recovery, even if you already use electrolyte products such as Equi-Lyte G or RE-FUEL LIQUID during the week.

It is important to ensure your horse has access to clean, fresh water alongside any electrolyte supplementation. Any excess electrolytes, vitamins, or antioxidants not required by the body will be naturally excreted.

Administer RE-FUEL GEL via syringe immediately after a competition or hard workout, once your horse has fully cooled down and already been offered fresh water.

Give RE-FUEL LIQUID daily mixed into feed for 1 to 3 days during heavy training periods or intense work to manage sweat-related electrolyte loss. Always ensure unlimited clean drinking water is available.

The realistic answer is that it really depends on a number of factors – mainly how much your horse has sweated but it is also important to consider external influences such as climate, stress, transport, new environments etc. If your horse has only sweated up a little bit, experienced light exercise and not over-exerted itself then you might only need to administer for 1 day. Whereas if your horse has worked in hot conditions with major sweat loss, competed intensely and has visibly sweated quite a lot, you may need to provide RE-FUEL LIQUID for 3 days after exercise.

Electrolyte requirements vary between horses, but ensuring adequate replacement after exercise is important for recovery. When in doubt, follow feeding guidelines or consult an equine nutritionist for tailored advice.

Yes, if your horse does not have access to water immediately after exercise or competition, it is acceptable to wait until you return home before administering RE-FUEL GEL. This ensures the horse can rehydrate properly alongside electrolyte and recovery support.

Yes, RE-FUEL LIQUID and RE-FUEL GEL both contain B-vitamins that help support appetite and normal energy metabolism after exercise. This can be beneficial for horses that reduce feed intake following competition, travel, or intense work.

For horses that consistently go off their feed after exercise, RE-FUEL GEL may be particularly useful as it delivers electrolytes and recovery support directly without relying on feed intake.
