FEI Safe & USEF Compliant Horse Supplements

Excel Supplements: FEI & USEF Show-Safe Equine Nutrition

When it comes to optimizing your equine athlete’s health and performance, Excel Supplements stands out with a range of FEI and USEF competition-safe products.

Our supplements meet the strict standards of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) and the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF). As a result, you can confidently support your horse’s performance without risking eligibility at top-level events.

Why Choose FEI and USEF Safe Supplements?

For competitive riders, FEI and USEF compliance isn’t optional — it’s essential. These organizations enforce rigorous rules to keep equestrian sports fair and safe. Therefore, choosing a brand that adheres to these standards gives you peace of mind.

Excel Supplements follows these regulations closely. In fact, every product is thoroughly tested so you can focus on training and performance — not disqualification.

Key Benefits of Excel Supplements

Regulatory Compliance: All products meet FEI and USEF standards listed in the FEI Anti-Doping Rules. This ensures you can use our supplements with confidence in any competition setting.
Enhanced Performance: Formulations support joint health, muscle recovery, and overall well-being. In turn, this tailored support helps your horse perform at their peak.
Quality Ingredients: We only use premium, carefully selected ingredients with proven efficacy and safety.
Research-Backed Formulations: Excel invests in extensive research. Most importantly, every supplement is backed by science to deliver real benefits without compromising compliance.

Understanding FEI Show-Safe Standards

All this to say, navigating supplement rules can be tricky. FEI-safe supplements must not create calming or energizing effects, which could trigger positive tests. For example, in 2017, two U.S. riders received bans after testing positive for ractopamine, a banned substance found in “Soothing Pink,” produced by Cargill Inc. This incident highlights why riders should only trust companies with strict standards.

Why Manufacturing Integrity Matters

Not all supplements are created equal. Many brands outsource production, which weakens ingredient transparency and quality control. By contrast, Excel Supplements keeps strict in-house manufacturing practices to ensure the highest level of safety and consistency.

The Reality of Natural and Herbal Supplements

Natural or herbal doesn’t always mean show-safe. For instance, calming ingredients like chamomile and lavender are prohibited in USEF and FEI competition. The FEI does not officially test or approve herbal products, so manufacturers must take responsibility to ensure compliance.

Banned and Controlled Substances

Under the Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Regulations (EADCMR), the FEI separates substances into two categories:

Banned Substances: No legitimate equine use, high abuse potential (e.g., stimulants, human antidepressants). These must never be present.
Controlled Medications: Therapeutic properties but not allowed in competition. Depending on dosage and timing, these could affect performance.

The FEI’s clear advice: “If in any doubt, do not give it to your horse.”
