After my last few posts I have been wondering whether my pony may be copper deficient. I have sent away forage samples for analysis and am waiting for the results, and have decided to try a tub of the Forage Plus winter balancer anyway as it is ultra low in iron and my pony has liver trouble. I wondered how quickly you would expect to see changes in the coat if the animal was in fact copper deficient and is moved on to a better balanced diet? Its hard to know if you are doing the right thing with all these products on the market, so the coat would be an obvious indicator if I knew to expect a change in a matter of weeks or months, or whether a change would take until next year. Thanks!

The pony this summer:
(to be fair he did wear a fly rug a lot more that first year so there was less sun bleaching)
