Concentrated Trace-Mineral and Vitamin Supplement with Extra Iron and Muscle Antioxidants
Harness Special is the premier ration balancer designed for harness horses (trotters and pacers) in regular training and racing as a concentrated, high intensity supplement designed by Dr. John Kohnke.
Harness horses have higher requirements for energy and many nutrients compared to gallopers, as studies have shown that they train three times harder and race twice as often compared to Thoroughbreds. Harness Special meets their elevated needs for micronutrients in a simple, comprehensive and easy-to-dose supplement.
Harness Special is designed for harness horses because it contains highly potent and concentrated forms of muscle antioxidants, including vitamin E, vitamin B1, magnesium and selenium (as premium organic chelated selenomethionine), plus extra iron in 3 different forms for optimum bioavailability, to ensure strength, stamina and racing performance.

Major Ingredients
Harness Special is scientifically formulated to contain a comprehensive range of vitamins and trace-minerals which are essential for horse health, vitality and performance. The formulation is regularly updated to the latest guidelines for optimum nutrition in harness horses.
- Blend of cold-pressed, colour coded Supplet pellets separated into 4 compatible nutrient groups which ensures the potency and stability of the vitamins and trace-minerals in the supplement and in the feed.
- A full range of trace-minerals, many in organic chelated form for optimum bioavailability
- All essential vitamins and vitamin co-factors as potency protected forms
- Three forms of iron, including bioavailable organic iron chelate and high purity iron carbonyl
- Major antioxidants, including fully organic selenium as selenomethionine and extra vitamin E
- Some bone minerals included, although extra may be added separately in early training for bone adaptation or when lucerne hay is not provided
- No added cobalt
- Does not swab, safe and legal for all competitions and even racing (rules prohibiting the use of any pre-race supplements should be followed if required by local Racing authorities)
- Pelleted and palatable supplement which mixes easily into all types of feeds (wet or dry). Reduces wastage from dust, sift-out, sludging and blow away from feeders.
Supplementation Guidelines
Each level scoopful of Harness Special provides 40 grams (LARGE END) and 15 grams (SMALL END) of the double ended scoop.
Daily supplementation rates from 40 – 60 grams per day (for harness horses 400-450kg bodyweight) provide a practical guideline for supplementing the diets of horses in early training or regular racing.
Even when feeding prepared, commercial ‘complete’ feeds designed for high intensity work, many race trainers choose to boost nutrient content and optimise energy efficiency by adding 40 g of Harness Special to the ration for the last 5 days before and after racing.
