How many of us have ever wondered what type of supplements our horses need? If any ? From personal experience there is nothing wrong with keeping a horse in work or not in work on a supplement. There is always concern with adding to much supplement to a horses diet. Obviously if we think about their lives in the wild we realize they were not on any type of supplement. Their bodies are self sufficient. Unfortunately it is what we have done to them to make them dependent on our care. We put shoes on them ,weakening their feet. Work them too hard, weakening their joints. For this reason there is nothing wrong with putting them on a joint supplement. A very popular one is just straight glucosamine. This assures that they are getting a pure supplement that is nothing but good for them. A good hoof supplement, if your horse has hooves that seem to be chipped or cracked is pure biotin. This helps strengthen the hoof. Keep your horse healthy !
They depend on you !!!
