How to Choose the Right Horse Feed and Supplements
The difference between a mediocre feed and a great one lies in the quality of its fiber sources and the bioavailability of its added vitamins and minerals. When evaluating options, focus heavily on the starch and sugar content relative to your horse's workload, as well as the presence of prebiotics and probiotics for digestive support.
Identify your horse's energy requirements first; a resting or lightly ridden horse needs a high fiber, low calorie balancer rather than a high energy competition mix.
Look past flashy packaging promising instant calming effects and check the label for highly bioavailable magnesium and essential amino acids instead.
Pay close attention to the combined starch and sugar levels, which should ideally sit below 10 percent for horses prone to laminitis or metabolic issues.
Prioritize supplements that use chelated minerals, as these are absorbed much more efficiently by the equine digestive tract than standard inorganic minerals.
