A REAL EDGE FOR RACEHORSES
In horse racing, every second counts. A stronger finish, faster recovery, and fewer health issues can be the difference between a win and a near miss. Trainers and owners are always looking for something that works, without breaking rules or compromising the horse. That’s where Vermate and Thermal Mud come in.
Vermate is a 100% natural, FEI-compliant probiotic made for horses. It’s not just another gut supplement, it’s packed with live microbes, humates, and minerals that support the whole horse. Think better digestion, faster recovery, stronger immunity, and more consistent performance.
Vermate helps with:
- Better oxygen use (more stamina, stronger finishes)
- Quicker muscle recovery after hard work
- Healthier guts and fewer ulcers or colic issues
- Parasite control and stress management
- Improved hoof quality and fertility
On the outside, Thermal Mud works like a charm for tired legs and sore muscles. It’s a natural, mud-based treatment that boosts circulation, helps with swelling, and speeds up healing. Perfect for post-workout or injury support.
Trainer-Tested by MJ Odendaal Trainer for Mogul Equine
MJ, pictured above with Johnny the Thief, his love and respect for his horses captured beautifully by Candiese Lenferna, doesn’t leave anything to chance when it comes to feeding. He’s using Vermate daily – and it’s showing up in the horses.
“I am very hands-on with my feeding. I pack all my feeds myself and have seen acceleration in consumption and a significant change in leavings. Vermate has proven very successful, especially in lighter horses,” MJ says.
Why its catching on
Racing comes with pressure, tight schedules, travel, high performance demands, and you need something you can trust. Vermate and Thermal Mud are both:
100% natural and FEI-compliant.
Safe for pregnant mares, foals, stallions, and race-fit horses.
Built for the real world. Fast-paced yards, daily demands, and competition prep.
Together, they support the horse inside and out. And the results speak for themselves.

The Science Behind the Results
What sets Vermate apart isn’t just what it does, it’s how it does it. At the heart of the formula is a unique combination of naturally occurring microorganisms and a full spectrum of micro and macro minerals. This diversity of beneficial microbes is what gives Vermate its power to stabilise the gut, support digestion, and out-compete harmful bacteria. It’s biological support that works with the horse, not against it.
The inclusion of humates, rich, organic compounds derived from ancient plant matter, further enhances absorption and detoxification. These humic and fulvic acids help transport nutrients across cell membranes, boost immune response, and reduce inflammation. They also bind to toxins and heavy metals, removing them safely from the body without damaging tissue.
Then come the micro-minerals, essential trace elements like selenium, zinc, and copper, that are critical for enzyme function, oxygen use, and tissue repair. Many horses today are under more stress, travelling further, and working harder. These trace minerals are often depleted faster than they can be replaced through standard feed. Vermate closes that gap without synthetic additives or overload.
With Vermate, you’re supporting your horse with:
Diverse probiotics that balance the gut and fend off pathogens
Humates that aid absorption, detox and anti-inflammatory action
Micro and macro minerals that fuel metabolism and tissue resilience
This is a formula designed by nature and proven in performance. For trainers and owners who want results they can see, and science they can trust, Vermate delivers.
Synergy from the inside out and the outside in
While Vermate builds resilience from the inside, balancing gut health, boosting oxygen transport, and feeding the body’s systems, Thermal Mud brings healing from the outside in.
This natural poultice doesn’t just cool the surface. It penetrates deeply to pull out inflammation, increase circulation, and accelerate tissue repair. Its mineral-rich formula feeds the skin and muscles while also helping flush out lactic acid and metabolic waste post-exercise. It’s a physical reset button for tired legs and hardworking bodies.
Thermal Mud’s gentle drawing action makes it ideal for:
Swollen or hot legs after gallops or racing
Back soreness and muscle tightness
Pre-race prep to keep limbs tight and circulation flowing
Daily maintenance in high-performance yards
360° natural performance strategy
Where Vermate promotes systemic health, stronger digestion, and better recovery, Thermal Mud enhances those internal benefits by improving localised blood flow, reducing tissue strain, and encouraging natural recovery mechanisms externally.
Together, they form a 360° natural performance strategy. One works within. One works on contact. And both are trusted in racing barns where the next run has to be the best one.
“Since using Vermate I see a noticeable difference in my horse’s coats and appetites. I strongly recommend adding it to your feeding regime.”
