Equi-Pride
A top-dress which combines several nutritional factors into one powerful supplement.
EquiPride blends vitamins, organic complexed minerals, stabilized milled flax and distillers grains with ProBiotein™, our
proprietary additive.
“With EquiPride, we noticed that our horses had more endurance but without becoming excitable - or ‘HOT.’ Most
people feed extra grain to get that extra energy but we don’t have to. We’ve virtually eliminated graining our horses.”
LAURA MILLER, Westcliffe, Colorado.

More Information
ProBiotein is a proprietary blend-additive consisting of yeast
culture, prebiotic oligosaccharides, enzymes, and protein isolates.
The Yeast in ProBiotein, cultured on a media of wheat, oats, barley malt and flax, is rich in biotin and other nutrients to
aid digestion. The Oligosaccharides, often called “prebiotics,” because they feed the beneficial probiotic bacteria, are
a key part of the ProBiotein additive. These prebiotics help maintain good digestive tract health.
Enzymes, the catalysts of digestion are included in a fibrinolytic, amylolytic & proteolytic array to assist fiber, protein
and mineral utilization.
Flax helps in many ways. The oil is dense energy which is high in Omega 3 fatty acid content. Omega 3 is an essential
fatty acid often missing in modern diets. Flax is also among the richest sources of lignans, which help improve immune
function. Organic complexed minerals are featured. Zinc, copper and manganese are complexed, or bound to protein
instead of other minerals, assuring high bioavailability.
EquiPride also includes ethyl alcohol to raise palatability, enhance fiber digestion and add another non-starch energy
source. Now with feed efficiency boost, the cost of maintaining your horse in top condition can be reduced.
Look for up to 25% improvement in forage feed efficiency with SweetPro’s EquiPride.
Digestive Aide, Vitamin and Mineral Supplement for Horses
Horses are hind-gut, foraging herbivores with a comparatively small stomach. A horse left to it’s natural foraging
patterns will graze on high fiber grasses and hay many hours of the day allowing its small stomach to balance acid and
enzyme digestion with the fermentation digestion of the cecum and colon (hind gut).
Because so many horses are boarded in stalls and non-pasture confines, they are fed in shorter time periods and with
more concentrated energy feeds such as grain that is high in starch.
This is where SweetPro® Feeds EquiPride™ is helpful in aiding the digestion of the typical stable diet.
How EquiPride™ Works
Because a horse produces less natural amylase (starch digestive enzyme) than other animals, (i.e. 10% of what hogs
produce) the chances are greater for undigested starch reaching the cecum and colon.
The cecum and colon are the areas where feed is digested by other organisms rather than by acid and enzymes. Mostly,
the populations of these organisms prefer hay and other forages, not grain. As a result, elevated levels of grain starch
force a shift in their population and in the process, acid levels rise and start to cause problems such as colic, laminitis
and ulcers.
EquiPride™ as a digestive aide consists largely of externally processed ingredients that have been pre-digested for
the horse and improves the nutrient utilization of the horse’s entire ration, as well as adding key nutrients.
ProBiotein™ is the SweetPro® Feeds proprietary “blend additive” in EquiPride™ which constitutes the digestive aide.
We stress the blend aspect of ProBiotein™ since digestion is a complex process that is influenced by many factors and
combinations of factors. No single “silver bullet” ingredient is going to get the job done.
ProBiotein™
• Enzymes (amylolytic, fibrinolytic, proteolytic);
• Yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae);
• Fiber and fermentation metabolites;
• Oligosaccharides (prebiotic, i.e., food for probiotic bacteria);
• Protein Isolates (wheat, oats, barley, corn and flax) broadens amino acid profile.
Flax Factor
Omega3 fatty acids (alpha linolenic with lignans).
Vitamins and Minerals
• Vitamins (A, D, E and d-Biotin are added to B complex vitamin from yeast);
• Minerals (organic complexed trace minerals to raise bioavailability).
The amylases added to your horse’s diet via EquiPride™ include both alpha amylase and glucoamylase (aspergillus
oryzac extract) to help mitigate problems. Additionally, there are other enzymes helping digest fiber, protein and
minerals. Blended with the enzymes are oligosaccharides that help feed the beneficial bacteria and help keep their
populations high enough to exclude pathogenic bacteria from getting a foothold.
A noteworthy component of the EquiPride™ blend is flax, which is best known for its rich source of omega 3 fatty acid,
so often neglected in modern diets. Flax is one of the highest sources of lignans. Lignans contribute to immune
function. The major lignan in flax is SDG (seicoisolariciresinol diglucoside).
Lignans from flax are being studied in human applications because of strong antioxidant properties that may play a
positive role in certain cancers. This characteristic of lignans may also be responsible for reduction in atherosclerotic
plaque formation noted in animal studies. The development of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes has been shown to be
due in part to oxidative stress. The flax lignan SDG has been found to be effective in lowering the onset of both types
of diabetes due to its potent anti oxidative ability.
All these factors and components of EquiPride™ add up to improved digestion allowing the horse’s immune system to
maintain a wellness that virtually eliminates the need for costly gastric, joint, hoof and other chronic malady treatments,
while giving energy, weight maintenance and a shiny coat to this magnificent animal.
And this final note – when digestion is improved, less total feed is needed. We are seeing forage requirements drop by
over 20%. Depending on prices, one can recover nearly half the cost of EquiPride™ in feed savings alone!
EquiPride™ is the ounce of prevention that eliminates the pound of cure.

Here are
several
questions that
asked:
Q: Will EquiPride or
EquiLix make my horse
"hot"?
A: No. An abundance of
undigested starches and
sugars reaching the cecum
is the main cause of a "hot"
horse. The starches and
sugars contained in
EquiPride have already
been broken down in the
manufacturing process.
In fact, our customers tell
us that their horses are
noticeably calmer and more
content on EquiPride, yet
they have the energy and
endurance necessary to
work and perform at their
best.
Q: Should I give the
recommended amount of
EquiPride immediately, or
do I need to introduce it
slowly?
A: You can feed the
recommended amount of
EquiPride immediately. As
described above, the
starches and sugars it
contains are already
broken down; and EquiPride
is designed for the highest
bio-availability to the
horse's body.
Q: Is EquiPride safe to
combine with my horse's
current medications?
A: EquiPride is a nutritional
supplement, so it can be
used in conjunction with
whatever medication
program your veterinarian
recommends. EquiPride
allows the horse to absorb
nutrients more
effectively, which in turn
helps to strengthen the
immune system and hasten
the healing process.
Q: How do I get my
"picky eater" to take
EquiPride?
A: Many picky eaters
accept EquiPride without
hesitation, but for those
who don't, we offer a
number of suggestions:
1) Start with only a 1/4
teaspoon of EquiPride per
feeding and gradually
increase over a few weeks
until you reach the
recommended dosage.
2) Spray a small amount of
apple cider vinegar on
EquiPride.
3) Put EquiPride in a
separate bucket and let
the horse discover it on its
own.
4) Mix EquiPride with beat
pulp.
5) Mix EquiPride with apple
sauce.
6) Mix EquiPride with
crushed, sugar free
peppermints.
Once a picky eater accepts
EquiPride, they'll stay on it
and lick their feed trough
clean!
