Missy's Bucket

This month’s Ingredient SPOTLIGHT 🔍
Threonine!

Considered the third limiting amino acid after Lysine and Methionine, Threonine plays an important part in your horse's gut health, muscle development and immune support.

For horses with digestive issues, it plays a crucial role in mucin production. These mucin proteins form a protective barrier in the stomach, aiding digestion and reducing the risk of ulcers.

As a major player in protein synthesis and nutrient absorption, it supports muscle development in performance horses in training and helps muscle recovery during rehabilitation.

✅ Helps build & repair muscle
✅ Ensures healthy gut & better digestion
✅ Provides immunity support
✅ Assists Keratin production for healthier and stronger coats and hooves

Threonine is an active ingredient in our Gut-Plus range, thanks to it's digestion benefits. For more information on Missy's Bucket Gut-Plus Powder, click here: https://www.missysbucket.com.au/products/missys-bucket-gut-plus-powder?variant=44556980748444

Can I feed other supplements with Missy's Bucket?

Missy's Bucket products are formulated to provide a complete balance of essential vitamins and minerals. Many horses and ponies do not require additional supplementation with Missy's Bucket products, but if you are considering adding extra supplements, it is important to be mindful of overlapping ingredients - particularly minerals like Selenium and Iodine, as too much can upset your horse's nutritional balance.

If adding to or altering their diet, always check ingredients to ensure your horse is getting exactly what they need.

Review of the Month winner is – Stephanie Tustin!

“I’ve been using Missy’s Bucket Original for the last 2.5 years, with a couple of changes in between, but I kept coming back because of the incredible difference I saw in my horse’s coat and hoof health.
After nearly losing my main mare, with vets suggesting PTS due to laminitis in both front feet, we’ve managed to pull through. Her hoof has now fully grown out, and having the right supplement has been a major part of that journey.”

Stories like this are exactly why Missy's Bucket was created.

From the toughest challenges to thriving again, it’s all about giving your horse the best support from the inside out.

Does your gut supplement include a toxin binder?

If not… are you adding it separately? Or not one at all?

With Missy’s Bucket Gut-Plus, you’re not just supporting digestion, you’re covering more bases in one simple feed.

Including a toxin binder means you’re helping your horse deal with what you can’t always see.

And this time of year, it matters more than ever, with changing grasses, stressed pastures, and even winter hay and feeds can carry unwanted toxins that impact gut health, hoof quality, and overall well-being and temperament.

It’s not just a spring problem; it’s a year-round consideration.

If your horse has experienced laminitis (founder), winter can be a bit of a mixed blessing!

While some triggers ease, the colder months still bring challenges that need careful management.

Here are a few key things to keep in mind to help reduce the risk of flare-ups 👇

• Cold weather & circulation: Lower temps can reduce blood flow to the hooves and increase discomfort. Keep your horse warm with appropriate rugging and good shelter to support circulation.

• Hard or frozen ground: Frozen or very firm surfaces can add pressure to sensitive hooves. Deep, soft bedding and safe turnout areas help reduce impact, alongside regular hoof care.

• Diet control: Even winter pasture can contain sugars that may affect sensitive horses. Stick to a low sugar, low starch diet and monitor weight closely. Supplements like Missy’s Bucket can help support nutrition without added sugar load.

• Gentle movement: As appropriate, low-impact exercise can support circulation and weight management, always tailored to comfort.

• Nutritional support: Targeted supplements can help support hoof health, immunity, and overall wellbeing during winter.

Did you know high-quality Magnesium Oxide isn’t always bright white?

In fact, it can range from off-white to light brown or even pink, depending on its natural source. Colour variation isn’t a flaw… it’s a sign of where it comes from.

At Missy’s Bucket, we use Causemag XLM, a premium, Australian-sourced Magnesium Oxide mined from high-purity magnesite in NSW.
