Born to Win® Supplement
Throughout history, the ability to pick up and move to “greener pastures” has permitted generations of horses to thrive on forages. Total freedom and mobility has meant they naturally received nutritional variety from the vastly different geographic areas they frequented.
But today’s horses are typically limited to a single type of forage in one geographic area. Pastures in the same area or even different sections of the same pasture can have inconsistent nutrient values. Grains like oats and corn can also have variable amounts of protein, minerals and vitamins. So horses need your help to achieve the nutritional balance they once derived naturally.
That’s where Born to Win® supplement comes in. Thanks to exhaustive research and field testing, Purina has learned how certain nutritional advantages can help horses be more active and productive during their lifetimes—even with the added stresses of training regimens and performance expectations.
Purina Mills® Born to Win® pelleted horse supplement is a concentrated source of quality protein, vitamins and minerals. It’s designed to be fed with unfortified straight grain and/or moderate quality forage diets (grass or legume hay types) and serves a variety of life stages including growth, reproduction, moderate performance and active pleasure. It is available in a 25 lb. bucket and a 50 lb. bag.

Feeding Directions:
Born to Win® supplement is designed to complement and balance unfortified whole grain, and moderate quality forages. Moderate quality forages are usually grass or over-mature legumes and may vary in protein content on a dry matter basis anywhere from 5-15%. The feeding recommendations are based on the following assumptions: an expected mature weight of 1,100 poundsa and the horse is consuming 2.0%b of its body weight in a moderate quality hay/pasture (dry matter).
a For horses that do not approximate this expected mature weight (such as miniature horses, ponies and draft horses), feeding rates for mature horses at maintenance can be estimated based on providing approximately 1/4 pound of Born to Win® with every 5 pounds of hay fed. For growing and working horses, increase the amount provided for maintenance 2-3 times.
b If feeding hay or pasture, always provide a minimum of 1% of body weight in hay or the equivalent in pasture (approx. 30 lbs. of pasture would be required to equal 10 lbs. of hay on a dry matter basis).

c More rapid rates of growth can be achieved by adding grain to the diet. However, given the inherent nutritional inconsistencies of unfortified grain diets, more rapid rates of gain are more safely and successfully achieved by using one of Purina Mills’ completely fortified and balanced concentrates. The nutritional needs of foals less than four months of age are better satisfied with products such as Strategy® or Omolene® 300.
