TCX Supplements at The Breeders Elite Incentive 2026

The summer competition season is one of the most demanding periods for performance horses. Travel, high-intensity runs, new environments, and tight schedules all place pressure not just on training, but on how well a horse can manage stress, recover, and perform when it counts.

This is exactly why TCX Supplements will be on-site at the 2026 Breeders Elite Incentive (BEI), taking place July 31 – August 2 at The Pointe Agricultural Event Centre in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

More about the event The Breeders Elite Incentive

The Breeders Elite Incentive is one of Canada’s most recognized barrel racing events, built around performance, breeding quality, and real competition results. With over 800 entries and significant payouts in previous seasons, BEI attracts serious competitors who understand that success comes down to details.

At this level, the conversation shifts. It’s no longer just about training harder. It’s about:

  • keeping horses focused under pressure
  • supporting recovery between runs
  • maintaining consistency across multiple days

 

That’s where we focus our work.

We are not here just to “sell supplements”. We are here to talk about what actually limits performance, and how to support those systems properly.

We’ll have a full retail setup at BEI, with the opportunity to explore and purchase TCX products directly on-site.

But more importantly, this is a chance to have real conversations.

If you’ve ever asked:

  • “Why does my horse feel different on competition day?”
  • “Why does performance drop after the first run?”
  • “Why is my horse reactive in new environments?”

– this is exactly the type of discussion we’re there for.

We will be available throughout the event to discuss:

  • how stress impacts performance
  • how to recognize energy loss before a run
  • how respiratory efficiency affects output
  • how to align supplementation with actual needs

No generic recommendations. No one-size-fits-all answers.

Every horse is different. The goal is to help you understand what YOUR horse needs.

How do I calm a performance horse without sedation?
The aim isn’t to take energy away; it’s to channel it. Horses do their best work when they’re mentally settled but still switched on. Mostly that comes down to the basics: consistent training, routines the horse can predict, and enough exposure to competition settings that they stop feeling odd. Nutrition can back this up too; some formulations are built to support the nervous system without dulling the horse, so it stays focused instead of reactive.
Focus rides on two things at once: where the horse’s head is, and whether its body is ready. A horse that’s over-stimulated tends to lose the thread and burn through energy before it even starts. A few things help pull that back, holding the same pre-competition routine every time, taking the heat out of a stressful environment, and giving the horse the support it needs to hold steady when the pressure’s on. A horse that’s settled but alert reads the rider’s cues far more clearly.
It comes down to two things: how well the horse breathes, and how well it moves blood. Management does most of the heavy lifting, building fitness over time, keeping the workload sensible, and cutting down the dust the horse breathes in day to day. Nutrition can lend a hand as well, especially when it targets the pathways behind blood flow and open airways. The idea is to help the horse make better use of the oxygen it’s already getting during effort, not to force output up artificially.
Nitric oxide plays an important role in influencing blood flow and airway function during exercise. Ingredients that support nitric oxide production, such as dietary nitrates and certain amino acids, are used in performance nutrition to help support circulation and air delivery. Their effectiveness depends on formulation quality, correct use, and the overall management program.
Safety depends on both the formulation and the rules of the governing body under which the horse competes. Some ingredients are permitted in many disciplines but restricted under others. For example, certain compounds used to support calm focus may not be allowed in FEI-regulated competition. It is always important to review ingredient lists carefully and confirm compliance with the relevant competition rules before use.
