supplements

[LadyRascasse]

what do you use and why? its always made me curious why we all use so many different supplements, i always invetigat what i am going to use and why so i wouldn't waste money on unnessery things.

i use:-

Garlic - for my boys respiratory problems
Mint - as my girl is fussy and its what makes her happy
Oestress - without it my mare is impossible
pink powder - 1) because of the state my mare came to me in last year it was what helped her and 2) because my boy is getting old and its digestion isn't what it used to be.

chaste berry for moody mare
biotin for hooves (tb)
magnesium
Just started using fly free as we are being plagued
I use balancing supplement in winter will probably try pink powder to maintain weight

We only use Garlic to keep the flies away seems to work.
I did use a breathing resiratory one in the winter when millie had a really bad cough and infection it was by NAF and was really really good
