Description
Time-Released Hindgut Buffer for Horses with Subclinical Acidosis
Equishure is a Time-released hindgut buffer that delivers encapsulated sodium bicarbonate to the cecum/colon to help stabilise hindgut pH and support normal digestive function, especially in horses on high-grain diets or lush pasture, or under training/competition stress.
Key Benefits
- Targeted hindgut delivery: encapsulation technology helps deliver sodium bicarbonate to the hindgut.
- Supports hindgut pH stability and helps reduce risk associated with hindgut acidosis/subclinical acidosis.
- May improve feed efficiency by supporting a favourable environment for fibre-digesting bacteria.
Recommended for
EquiShure® is commonly recommended for horses:
- Horses suspected of suffering from subclinical acidosis.
- On high-grain diets or grazing lush pasture
- With inappetence/decreased appetite or weight loss
- With unexplained behavioural changes (e.g., weaving/wood chewing/box walking)
- With digestive upset including loose manure
- Prone to recurrent mild colic or laminitis risk
- Sport/competition horses under training or travel stress
Signs of subclinical acidosis may include:
- Decreased feed intake or complete inappetence in severe cases
- Mild to moderate colic signs of unexplained origin
- Poor feed efficiency and subsequent weight loss
- Loss of performance
- Development of stereotypies such as wood chewing, weaving, and stall walking
A diagnosis of subclinical acidosis is often overlooked initially when one or more of the aforementioned signs is noticed. EquiShure, a time-released hindgut buffer, may be beneficial in counteracting the effects of this syndrome.
How It Works
EquiShure is a time-released hindgut buffer designed to help moderate hindgut conditions by delivering an encapsulated sodium bicarbonate source to the cecum and colon, supporting a more stable hindgut environment and normal digestive function.
Ingredients
Monoglycerides, Sodium Bicarbonate, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil.
Feeding directions
Feed 30–180 g daily depending on size and risk level. Top-dress on feed (or give orally). For best results, divide the daily amount across feedings. 1 scoop ≈ 30 g.

What do others say about EquiShure
“When stress levels rise, feed isn’t always eaten or digested as well as it needs to be. EquiShure is one of the best products to ensure all of my feeding and management efforts aren’t wasted, and makes the horses feel so much better!”
-Megan Jones, Olympic Eventer
In the world of equine sports medicine, the efficiency of the gastrointestinal tract is crucial to success. We routinely use EquiShure for horses that are prone to colic, weight loss, or show signs of digestive upset.
