    vitamin/supplement / balancer ... what's the difference??

    As above.. went to the feed store today for a supplement because I'm starting to soak my mares' hay for 24 hours. Upon asking for advice, I was bombarded with lots of ..well, advice. Some recommend supplements, some balancers...what's the difference??

    soaking hay for 24 hours, which vitamin/mineral supplement?

    Thank you so much. [Content removed] I have found a Ten's product, the 'Daily Balancer' seems about right. Although it doesn't contain iron, I'm not sure if iron is being soaked out of hay?

    soaking hay for 24 hours, which vitamin/mineral supplement?

    Hi, I've just started (yesterday) soaking my mare's hay for 24 hours. She's a ridiculously good doer, section D. She needs to lose some weight before she goes on to the lush spring grass, but she just needs to lose it in general. She's actually put it on over winter! So what kind of...

    Advice on loading before I get killed please :)

    I know my horse and I've seen my horse genuinely scared, about a lot of things. I've had a lot of practice in spotting her fearful behaviour. But she isn't scared about going into the trailer. She just doesn't like it. Which is understandable. Thanks for all those who've posted helpful...

    Advice on loading before I get killed please :)

    Hi all. I've had my mare for 14 months, I bought a trailer on Saturday. I was told by previous owners that she was awful to load. I thought she'd be scared, she is scared of everything else. But she wasn't scared. She was just being a bitch. So I put the control head collar on and she...

    Horse suddenly won't catch!!

    She might be like your mare then windystacks. Hopefully this is the worst it'll get. A girl had to get her today, enticed her with a scoop of food!

    And how do i make it more attractive? I took treats in, I bring her in, groom her, she's got lots of hay, treat ball, hanging licks, she's spoilt!

    Horse suddenly won't catch!!

    It's just weird how it's the last two days. She's always caught fine before. Is it possible she's just having an extreme season? She's not particularly mareish when she comes in through, butter wouldn't melt face! But she's soaking the field with her squirting!

    What do those muzzles actually do? Limit the amount in grass they can eat?

    Horse suddenly won't catch!!

    Well we brought in all the other horses (including her boyfriend Leo) then I left her in he field for about 20 mins, hoping to teach her a lesson. When I reappeared she followed me to the gate then stopped about two metres away. I turned away, making sure she made the last step towards me. Then...
