Höveler Original Sport Inside a Full Feeding Plan: 5 Rules to Get Right

Quick answer: Höveler Original Sport is the performance concentrate in a ration that also includes forage at 3.31 lb (1.5 kg) per 220 lb (100 kg) body weight daily and concentrate at 0.55–1.32 lb (250–600 g) per 220 lb based on work. Fit it into the whole plan, not over the top of it. Best for owners putting together a complete daily feeding program for a horse in regular work. Price: $49.99. Last checked: September 2026.

A feed is one line in a longer plan. Fit it into the full picture, forage, water, work, and schedule, and it does the job it was formulated for. These five rules place Höveler Original Sport correctly inside a complete daily program.

1. Map the whole ration before adding anything

Note what the horse actually gets in a day: hay at the labeled 3.31 lb (1.5 kg) per 220 lb (100 kg) body weight, the concentrate rate for its work level, water, and turnout time. Original Sport, a reduced-starch sports muesli, is designed as the concentrate layer of that plan. Adding it without mapping the rest is how rations end up double-counting energy.

Who this is for: owners assembling a complete feeding plan for the first time.

2. Set the concentrate rate by work level and stop there

The feed's own table does the arithmetic: 0.55 lb (250 g) per 220 lb (100 kg) for light work, 0.88 lb (400 g) for medium, 1.32 lb (600 g) for heavy, per day. Those figures are the concentrate's allowance within the whole ration. Within that budget the horse gets 15.1% crude protein, essential amino acids with lysine at 1.0%, and 12.6 MJ/kg DM of digestible energy. Past that point, the plan stops being the one on the label.

Who this is for: owners who currently stack several feed room performance feed supplements products without totals.

3. Let the feed's built-in package replace what you would otherwise bolt on

Part of fitting a feed into a plan is seeing what it already covers. Original Sport includes 0.7% inactivated Diamond V yeast, fructooligosaccharides as prebiotic fiber, 0.5% grape seed meal for antioxidant benefit, and a high level of vitamin E, all in the bag at $49.99. If you keep adding separate products on top, you may be doubling up on the formulation rather than completing it. Read the ingredient list on the product page before you stack anything.

Who this is for: owners whose feed room shelf is crowding with supplements.

4. Keep forage and water as the fixed points of the plan

Whatever else changes across the season, two lines hold: hay at 3.31 lb (1.5 kg) per 220 lb (100 kg) daily, and fresh water always on offer. The concentrate rate flexes between 0.55 lb and 1.32 lb (250 g and 600 g) per 220 lb with the work. A plan with flexible forage is not a plan; a plan with a forage line that holds and a concentrate that flexes is. That structure is what lets the feed's 16.4% crude fiber do its gut work as designed.

Who this is for: owners whose rations drift with the seasons and the shopping list.

5. Review the whole plan on a schedule, and use the free help

A feeding plan is a document that lives. Re-check body weight, workload, and the ration every few weeks, and bring the bifid 24/7 licensed vet team when something will not settle. Bifid's 9.0/10 store rating across 24,098 reviews and the 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee are there so that reviewing the plan is risk-free. The feed's careful formulation, special yeast and added amino acids, is built to sit inside a serious program.

Who this is for: owners managing a sport horse's season end to end.

Frequently asked questions

Can Höveler Original Sport be the only feed in my horse's plan?

It can be the sole concentrate, alongside the labeled hay ration of 3.31 lb (1.5 kg) per 220 lb (100 kg) body weight daily. Forage remains a separate, required line; the muesli is the performance layer on top of it.

Do I still need supplements on top of this feed?

Usually less than you think. The formulation already includes 0.7% inactivated Diamond V yeast, fructooligosaccharides, 0.5% grape seed meal, and a high vitamin E level. Review your current stack against the ingredient list before adding more.

How does this feed fit with my horse's hay and turnout routine?

It complements them. Concentrate arrives at 0.55–1.32 lb (250–600 g) per 220 lb (100 kg) per day in small portions, hay fills the gaps at the fixed daily line, and turnout keeps the rest of the plan grounded.

What if my plan already includes another concentrate?

Replace it rather than adding alongside. Two concentrates stack energy and starch, and this feed's budget is defined by the work-level table. Transition slowly, one blended step at a time.

Who can review my whole feeding plan with me?

The bifid 24/7 licensed vet team can talk through the full program, and the 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee backs the trial while you adjust it.
