A Pinch of This and a Pinch of That..................
Isn't that what Supplements are all about ?


Here are the supplements we feed and why:


Our own Custom Mineral MixOur own personal balanced mineral mix for our hay. Made to our specifications by either Uckele or Horsetech.


Iodized Salt.....
I feed
1-2 tablespoons of iodized salt a day to each horse. Two to three tablespoons in the hottest part of the summer and in the winter one to two tablespoons. (In the winter this encourages them to drink water)
Routinely, I do not feed electrolytes because Arizona hay tends to be high in potassium...the last  thing we need to give them is more potassium. I feed either iodized salt or plain salt depending on our iodine needs.

Springtime GL ....Glucosamine Hydrochloride for our horses with arthritis.

MSM by Vita-Flex ....Anti-inflammatory for those with arthritis.

Horseshine by Enreco.......Stabilized Flax Seed...... Provides the essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6, in the closest ratio to the horse's natural diet --grass. 

Vit E 1000 IU ....As advised by Dr. Kellon, horses not on pasture require 1000 IU to 2000 IU of Vit. E.

Psyllium powder......for 6-7 days every month



In addition to these supplements I give my horses herbs for variety and for medicinal purposes.
I use my own seasonal blends to spice up their meals and my own flavorings to assure they eat all their supplements. If you are interested in herbs be sure visit my other site Witcheylady Creations & Potions
