Most horse owners make a mistake when choosing feed by relying on the packaging, while in reality everything starts with the composition, and if you don’t understand that, you are essentially choosing blindly.

There are stories that we don’t have to write – riders tell them for us through their own experiences. Hanna’s message is exactly like this. It is the story of a long, challenging journey, full of uncertainty, perseverance, and small steps – all the way to the point where the results finally begin to show. Resp Elixir brought a turning point – but how exactly? You’ll find out below.

For us, the Toscana Tour in Arezzo was not just a competition, but a week where we could experience up close what the highest level in this sport truly means. We are especially proud that Roland Kovács had the Hungarian national anthem played on two consecutive days with his beautiful victories.

The National Riding Hall in Budapest hosted the final of the Meglio Champions Tour, for which qualification was not easy. Throughout the series, riders had to complete at least three competitions with MK qualifying classes out of the four rounds held at the National Riding Hall, meaning that to reach the final field, they had to compete in both 2025 and 2026.

Thanks to a fortunate coincidence, we had the opportunity to meet Giacomo Bassi, one of Italy’s most popular show jumping riders. The internationally recognized athlete currently holds 120th place in the FEI world rankings, and consistently proves himself at prestigious international competitions.

Heaves (equine asthma) is not a “harmless stable cough,” but a chronic, incurable lower airway disease in horses. This is important to state clearly. It does not go away on its own and cannot be outgrown. What is the rider’s responsibility, however, is the early recognition of symptoms and taking them seriously. Coughing in horses is not normal. It is not a natural “warming-up cough.” If a horse coughs – especially if it is recurrent or worsening –, it is always a warning sign that may indicate a problem with the horse’s respiratory system.

The final stage of the Meglio Champions Tour concluded in a fantastic atmosphere, with high-quality courses and outstanding performances. The series once again proved that consistent work, conscious preparation, and truly supporting the horse together lead to success – both in the arena and beyond.

The horse’s body reacts very sensitively to seasonal changes. Shedding is not merely an aesthetic process, but a significant physiological adaptation: metabolic intensity changes, protein and fat metabolism increases, and the digestive system may also be put under additional strain as the body builds millions of new hairs. During this period, rather than drastic interventions, gentle, physiologically appropriate support is needed. Seasonal Care 100% flaxseed meal represents exactly this approach.

A horse’s health and well-being are not solely about performance. The condition of the nervous system, the resilience of the skin, and the body’s regenerative processes play a fundamental role in every horse’s life—regardless of whether it is a sport horse, a leisure horse, a broodmare, or an individual that has been struggling with ongoing issues. Meglio Horse’s two latest developments, Skin&Coat Omega and Neurovia, provide targeted internal support for these essential yet often overlooked areas.

A horse’s musculature does not simply “grow” from training. Training is, in fact, a catabolic process: micro-damage occurs in the muscle fibers, energy stores are depleted, and the neuromuscular connection is under continuous strain. Muscle development always takes place after the workload, and only if the body has access to all the necessary building blocks. Muscle Fusion intervenes precisely at this critical stage, which is why it cannot be considered a simple protein supplement or “muscle-building feed.”

The winter period poses a special challenge for the musculoskeletal system of horses, even though this is often difficult to notice at first. In cold weather, horses are often fresher, more energetic, and more willing to move than in the summer heat. However, frosty conditions not only change the temperature, but also affect how the ground and the horse’s joints interact with each other.

One of the most common misconceptions in horse care is that hay and some type of raw grain – usually oats or barley – are "plenty enough" for horses. While these have long been traditional and widely used feeds, they do not cover a horse’s full nutritional needs in the long term and can, in some cases, lead to serious deficiencies or reduced performance. Modern feeding practices have clearly shown that a combination of digestible fibers, high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and specialized functional ingredients provides the solid foundation on which healthy living and balanced performance are built.

As the year comes to a close, it is natural to pause more often, look back on the past months, and give thanks for all the moments shared with our horses. As horse owners, we all ask ourselves the same question time and again: how can we help our horse achieve its healthiest, most beautiful, and most radiant condition?

A horse’s digestive system is uniquely sensitive and is designed to rely entirely on a constant intake of fiber. For this reason, the feeding order is especially important: hay first, then concentrates. While many horse owners, especially during the morning rush, tend to give oats or other starch-containing concentrates first, this can actually pose several risks to the horse.This article provides a detailed explanation of why the correct feeding order is crucial, what processes occur in the horse’s stomach and intestines during feeding, and what problems can arise if a horse receives concentrated feed on an empty stomach.

Supporting equestrian sports, maintaining the health of sport horses, and promoting conscious, responsible horse care have always been central to Meglio Horse’s mission. Now, however, we have reached a truly special chapter – we are proud to present the Meglio Champions Tour, held at the National Riding Hall over several rounds, culminating in the prestigious Meglio Finale.

In autumn, a horse’s body is under particularly high stress: temperature fluctuations, humid air, and coat shedding all put the immune system to the test. At this time, the best thing we can do is support our horse naturally – and a perfect solution for this is Immuno Black black cumin seed meal, offered by Meglio Horse as a free gift with orders over 30,000 HUF. But what exactly is this product for, and how does it work?

With the arrival of autumn, every horse owner notices the change: our horses begin to grow a “fluffier” coat, as the short summer hair is gradually replaced by a dense, warm winter coat. Although from the outside this may seem like nothing more than hair loss and new hair growth, in reality a highly complex biological process is taking place in the background, requiring significant metabolic adaptation by the body.

Exciting moments await us at the National Equestrian Centre during the Breeding Competition and the Adult National Championship weekend. Roland and his horses will be competing in Budapest all weekend.

Horses are unique animals: behind their tremendous muscle strength and endurance lies an exceptionally sensitive respiratory system. That’s why many horse owners encounter the problem of their horse starting to cough, having difficulty breathing, or showing a decline in performance.

The most beautiful time of the year for competitors is here: the national, regional, and county finals are coming. Now it’s more important than ever to perform at your peak, because this is what you’ve been dreaming of throughout the season — to prove yourself, to put that crown on your season.

Stomach ulcers – officially known as Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) – are a fairly common problem in horses. They can develop due to feeding practices, poor housing conditions, or stress. This digestive issue is surprisingly common in today’s sport and hobby horses. According to a 2015 study by Kentucky Equine Research, 90% of racehorses, 50% of leisure horses, and 25–50% of foals are affected to varying degrees.

In the photo above, you can see a before-and-after example: the horse before and after treatment for stomach ulcers. Veterinary medication combined with Meglio Horse products brought complete recovery to Csini’s life.

Anyone who steps into the grassy arena of CHIO Aachen even once is touched by something special. The world’s most prestigious international equestrian competition lived up to its reputation again this year: the 2025 Rolex Grand Prix delivered an unforgettable afternoon, culminating in Martin Fuchs and Leone Jei making history.

For horses involved in competitive sports, achieving peak performance depends not only on training intensity but also on the condition of the muscular system. Muscle strength, endurance, and rapid recovery are closely linked to proper nutrition of muscle tissues and targeted supplementation. In July, Meglio Horse offers the liquid feed supplement Muscle Fusion as the product of the month with a 10% discount. Its scientifically formulated ingredients make it stand out among performance-support products for sport horses.

The summer months mean not only sunshine and pasture for horses but also increased respiratory stress. Warm, dusty air, pollen, and gases accumulating in the stable can easily irritate a horse’s respiratory system. Coughing is a common symptom in summer, often overlooked by many riders — yet it can be an early sign that the horse’s airways need support. Preventive airway cleansing during the summer can be crucial in avoiding more serious respiratory diseases, such as heaves.

During the summer months, horses lose essential minerals—known as electrolytes—through increased sweating. These electrolytes are vital for the healthy functioning of their bodies. Sweating not only serves to cool the body but also results in significant salt and water loss. If these losses are not replenished, it can lead to decreased performance, muscle cramps, circulatory issues, or, in more severe cases, heat collapse.

We were honored to take part in the award ceremony of the Korinna Huszár Memorial Race. We believe that horse health is not only vital for the animals themselves—it also plays a key role in preventing accidents.Our interviewee experienced immense pain far too early in life. She is a true horsewoman, through and through.How does a passion for horses begin? What kind of insights does someone have whose own horse has walked an unusual path?

She tells her story in her own words.

The world of sport horses is not just about speed, agility, and competition results.
Behind the scenes lies a powerful trio: endurance, muscle strength, and recovery — the foundation of long-lasting, healthy performance. Muscle Fusion offers professional support in this critical area: a nutritional supplement that works at the cellular level to support the horse’s body — especially those exposed to regular intense physical exertion.

Most horse owners have likely encountered coughing, nasal discharge, or difficulty breathing, colds, or allergies in their horses. The complex active ingredient structure of Resp Elixir effectively helps clear the upper airways, so that these symptoms subside as soon as possible and do not worsen.

Our range has gone through a fantastic transformation, and we’ve brought you the most important things to know about it.

The liver plays a vital role in the health of horses, as it is responsible for detoxification, regulating metabolism, and processing nutrients. Liver damage can often go unnoticed for a long time because symptoms usually appear late, when the problem is already advanced.

We are approaching the end of winter, which poses a huge challenge for our horses. Although the weather conditions could be quite favorable, from a feeding perspective this period is truly tough: there’s no pasture yet, and the hay is already several months old. What can we do?

Proper nutrition for pregnant mares is essential for the healthy development of the foal and for maintaining the mare's overall condition. During pregnancy and lactation, a mare’s nutritional needs change significantly, making it crucial to ensure that her diet meets the specific requirements of these stages.
