I have a 5 year old paint horse mare that is currently in training for cowhorse/reining/versatility. What would be the best vitamins/supplements to give her. She is about 14.2 hands and probably weighs around 850 to 900 pounds. She gets ridden as much as 2 to 5 times a week.
I always give mine dolomite (calcium) and depending on how strenuous the work is you may want to look at something like Cosequin also for their tendons/joints.
I would call my vet on the phone and ask. He knows your horse and the area in which you live is also important. I found this out when my fat, extremely easy keeper Morgan mare came home to live at our place. She gets fat on air. The vet was concerned and put her on a strict diet of only 10 lbs of grass hay a day and for a supplement, to make sure she gets all of the vitamins and minerals and such that she needs, he recommended Northest Supplement. I live in northern California and this supplement is made specially to provide all the vitamins and nutrients that are missing from the hay and pasture in the northwest area. Since she is heavy and doesn't do any really hard work at all she didn't need any kind of grain supplement like your horse might need.
if the nut is sticking out far enough put a big pipe wrench on the nut and use a long cheater pipe ! just make sure your turning the right way !
a solid form of feed, that has the nutrients that the pony desires--there are feeds made for youthful horses, previous ones, people who can no longer consume hay via hypersensitive reactions, etc. you will discover the specific grain which will extra healthful your individual horse. maximum folk feed a timothy hay or blend , some feed a timothy and alfalfa hay blend, that's what I fed to mine. In different factors, they could feed costal hay and oats, it additionally relies upon on the place you reside and what varieties of hay are obtainable to you in that section. in case you purchase a sparkling horse, you're able to desire to continuously discover out what feed and the quantity it replaced into given daily so which you do no longer exchange the nutrition too on the instant and reason colic or different problems. Overfeeding could reason founder and problems too, so which you're able to desire to continuously weigh your feed. a espresso can of oats won't be the comparable weight as a espresso can of corn, nor a espresso can of candy feed, and you pick to adhere to the comparable volume of feed daily in graining them. Hay could properly be fed unfastened selection, that's the healtiest thank you to hay them as of their organic enviroment, they are no longer getting grain and consume grasses all day .
