Hey everybody!
Because of the poor quality hay this year and also because we only feed oats for grain I have decided to start buying supplements for the horses. I was looking in this catalog that we get and they have so many that I'm not sure what to get. I was wondering if anybody could help me out a bit and maybe tell me what has worked for you and what hasn't? I will put a list of products I was thinking about getting, but any other supplements that you are using that you swear by please let me know! We feed grass hay and oats and that's it so we are in desperate need of it. Especially our babies! I used Equine JR last year but we only had one baby. It's too expensive to use for all 5 of our babies this year. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! I was also looking at something for our show horses. We are just starting to show and would like to know what you feed your show horses?
Accel (vita flex)-for the show horses?
Included entire B complex, chelated minerals, electrolytes, amino acids, and probiotics.
Horse Sho-Glo (manna pro)- For all of the horses
High potency vitamin and mineral supplement.
Vita-Plus (Farnam)-for all the horses
Says it contains all the important vitamins and nutrients needed for condition and performance w/polyunsaturates for skin and hair. Also has blood building nutrients.
Mare Plus (Farnam)-for broodmares
Rich in vitamins A,D, and E, as well as calcium, phosphorus, and iodine. Specifically for broodmares.
Mare and Foal supplement (Vita-Key)- for mares and foals
For broodmares and foals up to a yearling. Says it has all the nutrients for proper growth in foals through yearling year.
Drive (omoc, inc)- for all the horses including the show horses

Maxum Crumbles (horse health)-for all the horses

Thank you so much for your time!
