Name that supplement.

Looking at horse for sale, it was fed a small amount of pony nuts with a fare amount of bright green granule, almost looked glittery, before being exercised. When asked what it was, told just a supplement. Any thoughts?

Spirulina or seaweed??

Isn't sucralfate green? though I don't think that's really the correct way to feed it.

That would make alot of sense, thanks.

So the horse is being treated for ulcers, presume this has been disclosed as the horse is for sale? Bit strange if they said it was a supplement, may sound alarm bells for other things?

That is my suspicion but has not been disclosed, no health issues apparently.
Nice horse but have made the decision to stay well clear, something not sitting right with me.

Wise move if you have any bad feeling it's always best to walk away

The sucralfate I used was a white powder, like icing sugar. I imagine it comes in different forms though.
I’d just ask outright what it is for. They obviously didn’t try and hide the fact they used it and I think it’s a reasonable question to ask. After all we all feed supplements so help with something we are a bit concerned about so a potential buyer would have a perfect right to ask.

the abler stuff is green

Ah right, yes I imagine that’s granular aswell?

I had a tub of white powder from my vets.
