Help boost the lymphatic function with Cavalor Peak Performance!

When it comes to performance, we mainly focus on the cardiovascular system and locomotor system, while often overlooking others such as the lymphatic system. However, the lymphatic system is just as important as the well-known circulatory system. In fact, these two systems work very closely in circulating fluids and nutrients to ensure optimal bodily function. The lymphatic system also plays a central role in the immune system, fat absorption, fluid balance and detoxification in the equine body. A horse with a well-functioning lymphatic system has more efficient metabolic waste elimination, a better metabolism and a stronger immune system, resulting in improved performance and faster recovery.

Well-known equestrian wholesaler and the brains behind Zebra Products, Simon Middleton took Champion Title at Frickley Park.

Frickley Park proved to be a successful venue for Simon Middleton, Managing Director of Zebra Products who landed the BE100 Open Regional Championship title riding Goodwins Class. The pair performed a 30 dressage test, followed by four faults in the show jumping and 2.8 time penalties cross country to finish on a total score of 36.8.

“I love Frickley – it’s a super event with a great atmosphere, fabulous courses and a very hospitable host and organising committee,” said Simon. “I’m delighted with Goodwins Class. We’ve had him nearly two years after buying him from Vere Phillips. He’s very talented but we’ve had to take it step by step with him in order to gain his trust. I’ve always known he was super talented but he lacked trust and I feel we’re on the right track now.”

Cavalor PodoGuard

Cavalor PodoGuard hoof oil is a unique blend of nourishing and essential oils which penetrate deep into the hoof promoting optimal hoof condition.
The nourishing oil in Cavalor PodoGuard creates an ideal moisture balance. This will help promote better hoof growth, development and quality. 
When hooves are soaked in water and mud, they will soften. The natural protective oils will then be stripped away making them more susceptible to invading organisms. Cavalor PodoGuard acts as an antibacterial barrier to keep moisture and microorganisms out.
