Why feed coconut ?
Oil is 2 to 3 times more energy dense than cereal grains – so you can feed less oil to give the same amount of energy. This is especially useful for those horses that won’t eat when in training. Feeding oils may support coat, mane and tails.
Which Oil?
Most commercial equine feeds contain polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) including soy, corn and rice bran oils. These polyunsaturated fatty acids may cause an Omega 6 and Omega 3 imbalance. These oils are absorbed into and transported slowly through the lymphatics. They are prone to rancidity and contain a high level of Omega 6 which may cause inflammation.
Coconut oil is a saturated oil which is absorbed directly into the portal blood and provides a ready source of non glucose energy in the liver. Saturated oils may support storage and utilisation of muscle glycogen in horses during exercise.
Coconut oil contains MCT which produce ketones, the fourth energy system. Ketones produce 85% of avaibale energy at usable ATP.
PowerStance contains no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PowerStance®?
PowerStance® is a high energy feed supplement containing 70% natural coconut oil and is a rich source of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MTCs). It may be used as a non grain source of energy.
Do I have to reduce the quantity of CoolStance® I feed if I add in PowerStance®?
No not at all! Because PowerStance® is simply coconut oil, its use will compound the affects of natural coconut meal.
Why Feed Oil?
Oils may be added to the diet as a source of ‘non-fizzy” feed. When starch (typically in the form of grain), is fed to horses in large quantities, there is a risk of starch overload into the hindgut. This may culminate in “fizzy” behaviour. The risk of starch overload may be minimized by replacing some grain in the feed with oil, to provide energy.
Soy Vs Coconut Oil?
Coconut oil and soy oil are both used as ‘cool & safe’ sources of concentrated energy and are fed for conditioning, coat shine and weight gain, or to supply extra energy in the diets of hard-working horses. Their similarities and differences are described as follows: coconut oil is a highly stable tropical oil, meaning that coconut oil is usually not prone to rancidity and maintains its nutrient status over long periods. Coconut oil contains mainly saturated fatty acids of short and medium chain length which are quickly metabolized and available for use as ready energy.
Produced from soybeans, commercially available soy oils are often highly refined and have usually been chemically extracted. Soy oil is rich in long chain fatty acids and contains predominantly polyunsaturated fatty acids, making it prone to rancidity.
Can PowerStance be fed to Competition/Race horses?
PowerStance® is 100% natural, and much easier to handle than and store than liquid oils. PowerStance will not return a positive swab.
What are MCT (medium chain triglycerides)?
Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids that are easier to digest, absorb and utilize in comparison to the long-chain fatty acids found in other oils such as maize, soy, canola and rice-bran oil. Medium chain fatty acids appear to behave more like glucose than fat in the body and are preferentially oxidized to generate energy over long-chain fatty acids, meaning coconut oil provides a ready source of energy for use during exercise.
