energy suplements for lethargic horses

[Tiddlypom]

You might have posted from your other profile and, if I'm not mistaken, having several is not allowed

Quite.

OP, is this the horse that you posted about recently under your other username? Did you go on to buy it?

Hi if you were looking for an event horse to take you to novice and that’s gone to novice would you buy one that has an incredible jump but is getting regular 40+ dressage’s if you already knew the horse and regularly ride it and love it? Ian looking to go to pony club champs youth champs ect would this stop me from being on teams?

@Mero I suggested the xcell based on several posters before your comment, already suggesting that bloods are checked, which I am pretty sure will be the first and most obvious thing to do with a lethargic horse. @bella0987.

It is never a good idea to supplement iron. Forage and grazing is already high in it. If horses have anemia its far more likely to be due to issues with copper

I am sure you are right in general but for my mare it is a fact of life, hence supplementing with the xcell recommend long term by my vet following her part recovery from Lyme's disease.

He gives it to all his TB,s at his stud routinely as do many others. I know the analysis of my land as he does his land so not overdosing going on here. Not all land is equal as I am sure you must know. I have one field that has analysed almost the opposite end of the scales to another field separated by just a narrow lane and two stone walls, so I do see where you are coming from on this.

But I assume OP will probably ignore any well meant suggestions on here and hopefully take her vets advice rather than what has or hasn't worked for some of us.
