Magnesium oxide...what's best?

[Janesomerset]

Hi, I have a laminitis-prone pony and have read that magnesium oxide is good at helping to reduce cresty necks and fat pads (in conjunction with diet and exercise). I have looked around but there seem to be "heavy" and "light" versions, and I don't know the difference, plus I'd rather buy a "brand name" product which will tell me how much to feed and which would give me reassurance as to the quality. Please does anyone have any suggestions? Very many thanks.

The heavy and light just refers to the density of the product, heavy tends to be easier to use as you feed less volume wise. This website is quite useful and specific measures are given for the quantities you need to feed depending on the type of magnesium:- http://www.naturalhorsesupplies.co....84-Magnesium+Oxide+%28Heavy%29+900g++%A31049/

Hope that helps, not very scientific I know!

Thank you so much, that's everything I needed to know, on a site I hadn't heard of. Will probably order from them!
