The benefits of KER EquiShure

Olympian eventer Megan Jones is a huge fan of KER EquiShure. It’s a tried and tested staple in her equine health tool box.

Megan Jones is one of Australia’s top event riders.

Among her many successes is a 3* win at the 2005 Melbourne International Three Day Event on Kirby Park Irish Jester; followed by a 4* win at the 2005

Adelaide Horse Trials; team bronze at the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen; team silver at the 2008 Beijing Olympics; and selection for the London Olympic Games, but she was unfortunately unable to compete due to an injury to her horse.

She also held the world No.3 spot in the FEI’s event rider rankings and now calls Hallmark Farm home, where they produce high performance horses for competition and sale.

Megan is a huge fan of EquiShure, a KER product that promotes normal digestive function by aiding in the maintenance of an optimal hindgut environment. It has been formulated for horses suspected of suffering from, or who are at risk of developing hindgut acidosis, which many horses are prone to. The demands placed on sport horses and breeding animals necessitates significant quantities of energy-rich feed. Overconsumption of either high starch concentrates or pasture rich in fructans (sugars) is thought to cause disturbances in the normal hindgut environment, leading to hindgut acidosis. This causes a change in the hindgut’s bacterial population, which in turn leads to digestive disturbances and reduced digestive efficiency.
