Why use supplements?

 

Today’s modern horse rarely has the opportunity to obtain all the nutrients they require from a modern grain and hay based diet and confined grazing.  When allowed to roam free they would naturally select the herbs, plants and grasses required for their own nature cure to maintain well being and ensure their nutritional needs are met.   

 

Sadly modern day pastures rarely have the broad spectrum of natural plants and wild grasses that benefit horses health.  Often the soil has been treated with fertilisers and weed-killers which, long term, deplete the soil of many beneficial minerals and nutrients.  This affects the quality of the grazing.
