palatable vitamin and mineral supplement

[lucymay9701]

Please could anyone let me know if they know of a palatable vitamin and mineral supplement as my horse is a fussy eater and notices everything! At the moment she only likes pasture plus (like large cubes) but this is fairly expensive and she doesn't really need it if I could just find one she would eat mixed in her feed. So far we have tried clop and feedmark benefit but they both have a 'fishy' smell to them which she immediately picks up on. Does anyone know of a powder or granule I could mix in her feed which does not have such a strong taste/smell?
Thanks very much
Love LucyMayxxx

Have you tried simple systems total eclipse - it is linseed, brewers yeast and seaweed. My are on this and look fantastic. No fishy smell etc.

Only problem is that mine eat anything

Equivit original - every time!
It is a white powder and is not based on fish - very palatable.
3kg - £12
15kg - £41

I use the Equimins Tip-Top Pellets. It's a broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement in a pellet form, costs me £12.65 for two months supply and my boy seems to be thriving on it.

clop, codlivine and benevit are all fish based and so are generally the least palatable (plus she has already tried it!)

I'm another Equitivite fan!! It's fab stuff and comparitively quite cheap.

I feed Beau SNP http://horsesupplementsdirect.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index

I use the High Performance suppliment and give him a reduced dose.

Would it be worth trying a balancer like Baileys Lo-Cal?

def dont buy one called selenavit (think thats the name) it is in small tub with green lid and stinks my old horse used to leave the powder round the edges of his food and clearly wasn't impressed when he smelt it

Oh and I've just thought, I don't know if Global Herbs do a general supplement, and I don't know what it smells like if they do, but it's bound to stink of something horrible! Most of their stuff does... I believe their stand at Your Horse Live last year smelt so much that they were burning insence to stop people avoiding their stall! lol!
