Equi-lete®
The Equi-lete® products are a superior line-up, built with the highest quality ingredients and based on the
latest research and technology available! Our goal is to provide these elite products at a reasonable
price, making them more than worth the investment!
The Equi-lete® products began as one product that was designed to be a basic vitamin and mineral
supplement. It has grown and developed into the premium line of products that we have available today.
As the Equi-lete® product manager, I have enjoyed the challenges and rewards of developing this line, as I
have been a part of this project since the
beginning.
One of the greatest rewards for me is hearing testimonies from our customers of how the Equi-lete®
products have made a real difference in the health and performance of their horses. We measure
success by results! This is evidenced by the champion horses using our products!
I look forward to bringing this research and technology to many more people, thereby improving the
well-being of horses for years to come!

General Introduction
Vitamins and minerals are essential for your horse’s health, longevity, and performance. More
specifically, vitamins and minerals are needed for a host of physiological and metabolic functions
together with providing the critical building blocks for immunity and health.
Horses in their natural environment are able to select from a number of different grasses, legumes, forbs
and shrub species to meet their nutritional requirements. In captivity, horses have to rely on us to
provide them with their nutritional needs, via the feedstuffs we provide. Often this leaves gaps in their
vitamin and mineral requirements.
Equine nutritionists use scientific data from research studies to formulate equine diets based on the
horse’s requirements, and they take into account a number of factors including:
a) the age and stage growth
b) animal weight and breed
c) activity level
d) feeding strategy
e) the nutritional quality of the feedstuffs
Formula feeds are designed and sold based on the feed meeting a range or a specific set of nutritional
requirements, depending on the class of animal being fed. If the feed is fed according to the feeding
directions and the feed is a good quality product, the supplementation of vitamins and minerals is
generally unnecessary, unless to address a specific metabolic or nutritional issue.
However, most animals are fed less than the recommended feeding rate because their animals are easy
keepers, obese, on a restricted diet, high feed cost or are using a home grown formula of feed, oats and
hay. Since the animals are not getting the recommended level of feed, this can lead to mineral and
vitamin deficiencies which can compromise the horse’s health and well being. For example, easy keepers
or animals on a restricted diet subject to restricted feed or grazing, have limited access to the vitamins
and minerals found in green grass, many of which are lost when green grass is cut for hay. Similarly,
hard keepers, lactating mares and performance animals may require higher levels of vitamins and
minerals due to their greater than formulated requirements. Hence the need for a scientifically based
vitamin and mineral supplement program designed to fill the nutritional gaps in horse diets.

Who’s Using Our Products
?
We have used High Step to show and produce four
consecutive World Percheron Champions. The
current Supreme World Champion Stallion,
Windermere’s North American Maid, better known as
Moose, is also on Fertility EQ.
We really appreciate it because it helps to get our
stallions to their maximum performance for every
collecting and shipping season in our breeding
operation. We also are very happy with Physique. We
use it on all our young horses. We really believe in this
product as well.
We are thankful, that all the products are at the best
possible price. There’s nothing that can compare in
quality and price to the products that are offered by
Homestead Nutrition.

We are very happy with the Equi-lete products that we
have been using, especially the Fertility EQ. It is a very
good conditioning product, and we have had a
successful year in breeding the mares we had on it.
We are also pleased with High Step and High VAULTage
- the overall conditioning, better foot and coat
condition, and more energy and endurance.
Physique, what can I say? I have never had healthier
and faster growing foals. I would never sell a mineral
product that I do not use and believe in!

Premium Supplements
Benefits of High VAULTage:
1. Maintains a healthy immune system by supplementing the critical
vitamins and trace minerals.
2. Aids in maintaining healthy hooves by providing more available Zinc
and Copper.
3. Provides the essential nutrients for generating a healthy coat and with
great shine.
4. The anti-oxidant vitamins and minerals help with oxidative stress and
recovery after exercise.
5. Essential amino acids help with muscle and organ growth and repair.
6. The pre- and pro-biotic combinations help maintain a healthy

Who’s Using Our Products
?
I started feeding Equi-lete® High Step in January 2012 and was
impressed from the start. My horses’ spring hair shed easier and
faster, and their coats were glossier. They had more snap when
worked and held weight easier.
In June of 2014, I attended the Equi-lete® training seminar and
paid special attention when the nutritionist spoke about High
VAULTage, particularly the benefits of using High VAULTage for
bred mares and growing foals. I started feeding it that week,
along with Physique. I love what it has done! Even though my
horses were in good shape because I had been feeding them High
Step, I still noticed a difference. Particularly in one horse, a two
year old mare, I wasn't very happy with the way she was growing
or her overall appearance. But once I started feeding her High VAULTage, in just two and a half months, she made
an amazing transition. She grew and blossomed into the mare I thought she should be. Through breeding, I knew
she had the potential, but it took High VAULTage to bring that potential out of her! This example alone made
me a firm believer.
I also started feeding Physique to my young horses. The idea of promoting strong bone architecture, healthy
cartilage and muscle development is very important to me. We also started our brood mares on Fertility EQ in
2013 to promote good health prior, during and after breeding. We weaned one mare this summer. This Mare lost
no weight and looked healthy and fit until the day we weaned her.
We are very pleased with the quality of all the Equi-lete® products and believe that they are the best value on the
market!

After switching to Equi-lete High Step in my feed
this winter, I noticed a change in my draft horse
energy levels. They had more pep than before.
Secondly, my horses had a dull red roan hair coat.
Now my horses are bright and shiny. The nice
red stands out.

I had a yearling Belgian stallion named Hollows
Casper that I couldn’t get settled in on feed. He had
diarrhea and digestive issues. I started him on
Physique and immediately noticed a difference in the
stool. It had thickened and become more normal.
Because Hollows Casper was digesting food better, he
began to put weight on as he should, since he was
rather thin. He seemed more settled and ate well
after starting on Physique.
I had him registered for the spring sale in Dover, but I
was planning to pull him from the sale because he
wasn’t in proper condition. After starting him on
Physique, he improved substantially, and I decided to
sell him after all. He was the highest selling Belgian
stallion, bringing $14,000 at the sale!
