{"title":"Stance Equitec","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Stance Equitec\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStance Equitec brings together two pioneering names in equine nutrition and performance — Stance Equine and Equitec Performance Products — to offer a comprehensive range of science-backed feeds and nutraceuticals for horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Science Behind the Feed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStance Equine was founded over 30 years ago by Dr Tim Kempton, who holds a Bachelor of Rural Science and a Ph.D. in Nutritional Biochemistry. A lifelong horseman and stockman, Dr Tim competed at many levels across Australia and rode in the historic around-Australia horse ride to mark the opening of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on his research career, Dr Tim challenged the conventional reliance on high-grain diets after observing the toll they took on competition horses — hot and fizzy behaviour, tying up, and a range of metabolic disorders. His research confirmed what is now widely accepted: high NSC (non-structural carbohydrate) feeds are a major contributor to obesity, gastrointestinal ulcers, colic, laminitis, EMS, and Cushing's disease in horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCoolStance — The Foundation Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Tim pioneered research into coconut meal and coconut oil in horse and cattle nutrition in the 1980s. The result was \u003cstrong\u003eCoolStance\u003c\/strong\u003e — a GMO-free, chemical-free coconut meal with a low NSC of just 11% and a high level of digestible energy from its natural coconut oil (8–10%) and digestible fibre. CoolStance is now trusted by dedicated horse owners across Australia, New Zealand, the US, the UK, and South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEquitec — Holistic Performance Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Equitec range was founded by Ken Ford, a Naturopath Chiropractor who applies the principles of biogenics to equine health. Ken's deep understanding of natural herbs and compounds — and how they interact to support health and wellbeing — underpins a range of nutraceuticals formulated to support the digestive, nervous, immune, and neural systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether, Stance Equitec delivers trusted nutrition and performance solutions rooted in decades of research, real-world horsemanship, and a genuine passion for equine wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"equilibrium-b1-cool-mix","title":"Equilibrium B1 Cool Mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eEquilibrium B1 Cool Mix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquilibrium contains balanced ratios of macro minerals, trace minerals, vitamins and salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended for nervous, fizzy, excitable and\/or spooky horses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh levels of magnesium, Vitamin B1 \u0026amp; Vitamin E compared to Equilibrium Mineral Mix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll in one supplement containing macro and trace minerals, vitamins, electrolytes and salt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for horses prone to laminitis and tying up, also suitable for horses with Cushings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTried, tested and suitable for New Zealand conditions including grass species, soil type and climate conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan be mixed with hard feed or fed as loose lick to horses that do not require hard feeding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenefits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo further vitamin, mineral or electrolyte supplementation required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium and vitamin B1 are required for normal nervous system function.
