Bloody hell guys!!!!

So there is only two of us here that doesn't feed ANY supplements?!?!?! That is actually quite shocking!
I hunted Benson all last season on Maintenance Nuts and Chaff! He was fully fit and I don't think he was in need of anything added to his diet. He is being fed this summer only due to the fact he is not holding enough weight for the show ring...but still I give no supplements...I don't see any need for them as most of the feed available on the market are already balanced.

 

[Lucy_Ally]

I agree if fed at the recommended amounts, however Spring only gets a handful of Happy Hoof so I add a vit/min supplement to ensure she gets all she needs and she gets Oestress as she can be a stroppy madam!

 

[baybeejay01]

Have young horses and golden oldies - feed
biotin for poor feet
vit supplement for young horses
veteran supplement for oldies
garlic for all

 

[Nari]

Daily I give my riding horse TRM Hoofmaker Plus (was using Formula4Feet but it didn't seem any better & this is cheaper & handier), Feel Good 30 science formula calmer & Equivite general vit & min supplement at half dose. I use a probiotic in the spring to help him adjust to the spring grass & any other time I feel he may need it.

My little 2yo gets a full dose of Equivite general vit & min supplement every day as he gets very little hard feed.

They also both have access to salt licks.
