Anky van Grunsven: 'Red Bull for horses good idea'
Published on 7 January 2014Dutch sports scientists have developed a sport drink for horses for a quick recovery of the body after a heavy training or competition. Triple Olympic champion Anky van Grunsven thinks it's a good idea.
Van Grunsven: 'top sport horses are like top sporters. They get the best care, have their own vet, physiotherapist and we pay a lot of attention to their food. I do not use the sport drink for horses myself and I would like to read scientific measurement results first, but it seems like a good plan.'
Dutch dressage rider Jenny Schreven already uses the product that tastes like apples, for her horses.
Inventor Roald van der Vliet: 'Top athletes use sports drinks to recover faster after training. Why should we not give it to horses? The sports drink for horses consists pure natural products, it is not doping. If this product will make the difference in Rio at the Olympics? We'll see who uses the product and we'll see who wins.'
