Sponsor Corner: Kentucky Performance Products
When it comes to maintaining your horse’s health and performance, vitamin E plays a starring role. It’s essential for strong muscles, sharp nerves, and a resilient immune system—but most horses don’t get enough from hay or winter pasture alone. That’s where Kentucky Performance Products’ Elevate® Maintenance Powder comes in.
Formulated with a highly bioavailable source of natural vitamin E, Elevate helps combat oxidative stress and supports horses of all ages—from growing youngsters to hard-working athletes and beloved seniors. Because it contains no other vitamins or minerals, you can safely adjust the amount to meet your horse’s specific needs without risking imbalances.
Simple, effective, and affordable, Elevate is an easy way to give your horse the antioxidant protection they deserve. Click here to learn more about Elevate.
