HORSE CARE TIPS AND NEWS

Learn which horse supplements can help your horse feel their best

There is a lot of information about horse supplements available online and in-person at horse events. In fact, there is so much information out there about horse supplements and horse health, it can be downright challenging to separate fact from fiction.

As you know, our mission at Grand Meadows is to make it easier for you to choose the right product for your horse and keep you focused on what matters most, riding and enjoying time with your healthy, fit horse.

In this blog we provide you with science-backed information about horse supplements and how horse supplements can help support horse joint health, improve hoof, skin, and coat health, provide digestive and immune system support, and help calm an anxious or stressed horse.

The depth and variety of available horse supplements has grown leaps and bounds in recent years. On the one hand, this is a very good thing – giving horse owners more supplement options and price ranges. However, the flipside of this boom in horse supplements makes it very challenging for horse owners to differentiate between supplement companies and their products.

It is critically important that you know what the ingredients are in the horse supplements you’re feeding your horses. And that you understand why and how these ingredients benefit your horse’s health and well-being.

The good news is that thanks to organizations like the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), animal supplement companies are held by a strict standard of regulations and compliance. When you’re researching horse supplements, please make sure you’re only considering NASC-approved companies and supplements.

Horse supplements work with forage to fill in the nutritional gaps that keep your horse healthy, active, and strong.

Forage (hay and pasture) should form the foundation of your horse’s diet and does give you horse a solid intake of nutrition. However, this means you must be feeding your horse high-quality forage that is free of pesticides, chemicals, and other irritants.
