Shopping Guide for Horse Vitamins and Supplements
Just like people, horses require a variety of nutrients, including protein, water, minerals and vitamins. The specific amount of each nutrient your horse needs depends on his or her activity level, weight and whether your horse is pregnant, lactating or still growing. While some horses with very light workloads can meet their daily needs through consuming quality hay or grass, horses with heavier work schedules usually require some additional supplementation.
When considering weight management, you need to balance your horse’s diet while meeting all of his or her digestible energy requirements. A good feeding program is based on meeting the nutritional needs of your horse, maintaining a healthy digestive system and choosing high-quality feed.
