Location: Phoenix | What do you guys use for a vitamin and mineral supplement? Just a salt/mineral lick? Top dress? Do you add anything else like lysine or selenium? Just curious.... |

Location: North Dakota | So...I used to feed State line tack hoof and coat pelleted vitamin......loved it and cheap-horses did well, I always look for something with biotin. NOW they don't sell it any more! UGH, but I had a chat with a Progressive Nutrition dealer, and have found that they have a product called PRO AD which is a top dress that does contain biotin, comes in a 25# bag and feed about an ounce or two per day! Yippee, I'm hoping to report the same great success with the Progressive as I have with the stateline tack vitamin (seriously-it was great stuff)
Mine also have access to salt all the time. |

| I live in northern California. I feed orchard/alfalfa and get the load of hay tested every time we get a new load. I talk with an equine nutritionist and buy the necessary supplements needed. I end up feeding extra calcium along with the supplement called california trace. Thats all my horses need at this time.
oh forgot to add, I also leave out in the pasture a plain salt block, trace mineral and sulpher blocks. They are turned out on about 7 acres but its pretty sandy and not much grass grows in there at all. we end up feeding hay year round.

Location: The best kept secret in TX | I love 707 products.
I use the Gastro Essentials pellets and Glo-N-Go top dress. I have never bought something that didn't work from 707.
Daily Essentials from 707 are a great source of complete daily vitamins for them and I have many friends who have ad great results with it. Very reasonable in price.
I keep a salt and mineral block out with the round bale. I also dose with probiotics and ITZ paste from THE. |

If ours are turned out they usually just get hay and salt blocks...we usually have sulfer, trace mineral w/selenium and a regular white salt. |
