Cavalor Cool Sens Concentrated Liniment

Cavalor Cool Sens is a concentrated liniment containing a mixture of essential oils used to wash, refresh and cool the horse’s body, muscles and legs. 
It is the ideal wellness treatment if you want to spoil your horse after a hard training session or competition, especially on a hot summer’s day.
Cavalor Cool Sens contains essential oils such as menthol, eucalyptus and tea tree oil. Menthol and eucalyptus have a brilliant effect on the sensory nerves by stimulating those that produce a cool, soothing sensation to refresh tired, aching legs.
It is very important that sweating horses cool down properly to prevent muscle soreness and permanent damage to the body.

If your horse continues to sweat it means they are still too hot and they need to be refreshed with cold or lukewarm water.  Adding Cavalor Cool Sens to the water will increase and prolong the cooling down.

In addition to its local cooling and analgesic properties, menthol can speed up the healing and dilating blood vessels.  This increases blood flow to the affected area, which is an important factor in alleviating muscle and joint soreness.
Cavalor Coolsens is priced at 500ml, £20.00 and 2000ml, £52.50.

Cavalor Sweet-Itch and Fly Control

Summer eczema is a common summer skin condition also known as sweet itch and occurs when culicoides, certain biting midges and flies salivate on the horse’s skin.

The saliva causes an allergic reaction and will show in the signs of irritation, inflammation and discomfort for many horses. It is often a recurring itch that goes hand in hand with dermatitis.  

The reaction causes a constant itch at the mane, base of the tail, head and ears which results in chafing. When scratching, horses can injure themselves, which could lead to secondary bacterial injections.

Cavalor Ice Clay - for Overworked Muscles and Tendons

Cavalor Ice Clay is applied mainly to the legs to relax overworked muscles and tendons and help prevent swelling. Cavalor Ice Clay consists primarily of kaolinite.

The magnesium sulphate in Cavalor Ice Clay stimulates blood circulation and allows muscles to relax. This effect is enhanced by essential oils including arnica and rosemary, both with proven anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.

When Peak Performance Counts

Cavalor Peak Performance improves mobility and performance in sport horses by stimulating blood circulation and boosting lymphatic system function. 
The supplement is a balanced blend of essential oils and herbal extracts that improve the horse’s alertness and performance. The natural ingredients promote the efficient transport of oxygen through the bloodstream and ensure that toxins are quickly eliminated by the lymphatic system. The result is more energy and faster recovery times. This focus on the lymphatic system makes Cavalor Peak Performance an innovative way to improve a horse’s general condition and stamina and fight fatigue. It also ensures good health, as the lymphatic system is also an important component of the immune system. 
Cavalor Peak Performance is the ideal supplement for high performance horses.
A fit horse has sufficient stamina, a strong, supple body and is energetic – qualities that are essential for training and competition.
It is important to make sure that your horse takes in energy corresponding to its needs. Provide sufficient concentrate feed if your horse is in hard work, but no more than necessary. Moreover, do not confuse energy with stamina or temperament. A horse that is exhausted after just fifteen minutes does not have stamina. And “hot” horses can also have too little energy.
If your horse is suddenly tiring much faster or seeming less active then look for what may be the cause.

Keeping Your Horse Replenished

Keeping Your Horse Replenished 
The average body temperature of a horse is between 36 and 37 degrees. Under load, the body generates energy, and this energy is then converted into heat. 
In order to maintain their body temperature horses and ponies then dissipate the excess heat. 
This is done in two ways - once through the lungs and once through the skin by sweating. 
Sweating is healthy for your horse as it helps him cool down faster but it is important to replenish your horse's moisture reserves in time to prevent dehydration.
Make sure your horse always has access to fresh drinking water and if needed, give him a supplement such as Cavalor Electrolyte Balance to quickly replenish important building blocks and minerals.
An important consequence of sweating is the loss of large amounts of water and minerals, also known as electrolytes. Electrolytes are various building blocks that are important for many functions in the horse's body. 
If this loss is not compensated for, it has a negative effect on performance and can lead to health problems.
Did you know that horses cannot store electrolytes? Therefore, it is important to administer them at the right time.
Especially in the summer, electrolytes should be regularly included in the horse and ponies’ diet, as typically at this time of year the horse sweats more regularly. 
Cavalor Electrolyte Balance is available in 800g - £29 and 5kg - £91.50.

First Aid Essential - Cavalor FreeBute Gel

Cavalor FreeBute Gel is an intense gel which can be used for swollen legs, painful joints and sensitive or overworked muscles and tendons. 
The externally applied gel is packed with natural ingredients. It contains a unique mixture of eight essential oils, including eucalyptus, lavender and tea tree, which are known for their relaxing, cooling and soothing effects. This makes Cavalor FreeBute Gel the ideal solution for overworked, sensitive or painful muscles and tendons. 
When addressing pain, it is not only important to deal with the pain itself, but also to tackle the source. After applying, the gel will first have a pleasant cooling effect, after which it will start to feel warm.  Thanks to the hydrogel, Cavalor FreeBute Gel quickly penetrates the skin, where it has a deep and powerful effect on the underlying tissues. Because it has a positive influence on the blood flow, Cavalor FreeBute Gel can be used to relax sensitive muscles prior to training, but will also help to rid the body of toxins after an intensive workout, therefore preventing muscle stiffness. 
The gel can also be used for bruises, injuries and swollen legs to reduce swelling and speed up recovery. On top of that, Cavalor FreeBute Gel is an antiseptic and can sooth pain caused by wounds. 
Available in a 200ml tube, priced at around £26.50 and a 2 Litre Jar with Pump, priced at around £195.00. 

Supporting the Mares Fertility Cycle

Cavalor Venus is a herbal extract that supports the mare’s cycle and thus alleviates the effects of irregular ovulation. Hormone fluctuations can make mares quite restless and uncomfortable during their complex fertility cycle.
Cavalor Venus ensures a more regular cycle without disruption. It is composed of several natural active ingredients that support metabolism during the cycle, suppress typical heat-related behaviour and promote general relaxation of body and mind.
Just like people, horses experience nervousness. Some horses are more susceptible than others, based on their breeding or rearing, for example. Not all tension is bad.
Horses and humans both need a certain amount of tension to perform to the best of their abilities, but constant pressure or stress increases the likelihood of health problems. Ensure that your horse gets adequate exercise and has a pleasant stable environment and a healthy diet. A horse’s diet can have an enormous influence on nervousness and behaviour.
Some mares respond best to an initial rate of 40ml during the first 4–5 days, after which the dose can be gradually reduced. Results should be noticeable after about 3 weeks.
RRP 500ml £41.50, 2L £107.00
