With a variety of responsibilities ranging from the agricultural to the athletic, the equine consumer requires a diet specifically tailored to their particular nutritional needs. In the last several years, the global value of the equine pharmaceuticals and supplements markets notably grew at an average rate of 4.52% from 2013 to 2017. While the British Horse Society evidences that Britain had an estimated horse population of just 847,000 in 2019, the market for horse nutrition provides a niche but sturdy sphere to branch into.

For those who want to weigh their options, we at Cambridge Commodities have put together a poster detailing some functional horse ingredients that can help your brand to get back in the saddle.
