Horses in Johannesburg

Stride Distributors is a equine/horse supplements/nutrition distribution company that supplies specialized horse performance / equine performance products that include electrolytes, MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin, vitamins, amino acids, selenium required by all performance horses & endurance horses.

Stride Distributors was established in 1998, when the products marketed by two companies were combined and promoted under the auspices of Stride Distributors. The range of products include nutritional scientific concepts developed in Europe and Australia to cater for the requirements of equine athletes or recreation horses. The primary objective of this company is to supply nutritional purpose supplements to the equine industry which will contribute to an improvement in health or performance ability in the interests of horses in all spheres of activity. There is also a range of pet supplements that specifically cater for dogs and cats. Stride Distributors is also closely associated with overseas companies. The company is a wholely South African enterprise committed to serving the Southern African market. A primary goal of Stride Distributors is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge of equine exercise physiology and apply this knowledge to produce products that can contribute to healthier and improved athletic horse performance. Horses require special nutrients to maintain their overall health and ensure that they can perform to the best of their abilities. Horses should get the bulk of these nutrients from their feed but they often require supplements and nutritional tonics to ensure that they are in peak condition. Wet and warm conditions lead to a flying-insect breeding-frenzy. So as the weather starts to warm up and rains are set to come, gear up for the invasion. The Fauresmith International Endurance Ride was initially established when Landbouweekblad sparked a debate about which horse breed had the best endurance. The first ride took place in 1965 and the second one, in 1973: only 17 riders competed. It has subsequently become a much bigger, yearly event. Riders must cross long distances over three consecutive days. Conditions were favourable with cold nights and mild days. Our differing dietary preferences and requirements are made more manageable by our ability to vocalise what we feel we need to eat at a given time. Just so our ability to communicate can noticeably alleviate stress. When your horse shows signs of distress, try to be as accommodating and intuitive as possible because that is how the animal communicates. And an ill-suited diet is in fact something that might be inhibiting calmness.
