From a maintenance and preventative perspective there is nothing better! Do they work, absolutely! They saved my horse's life when we had exceeded all medical options.
I encourage you to research every ingredient in these products and how they benefit overall health at the cellular level. Hands down the Cur-OST products from Nouvelle Research. I have had a couple of cases of Thumps /hiccups from feeding a premix feed and an electrolyte. In the past I have fed Source, or Accel (Electrolytes, Amino acids ). I do feed DMG during the summer months to working horses.The rest are either on Total Equine Feed, or a ration balancer and they get rice bran and I keep loose trace mineral salt out for them. My mare gets the Remission and Chaffhaye. The OTTB gets plain oats, rolled barley and those 3 and he's flourished on that. The only honest to goodness supplements that I feed right now are Super Sport (Amino Acid ) and Remission (metabolism ), and Optizyme (digestion ). The problem is that an imbalance takes months to see lot of times. One thing about mixing supplements with premix feeds is that you may be doubling up on some nutrients like calcium or iron that are in both supplement and feed, and then maybe only the feed has another nutrient that the supplement doesn't have and that can cause imbalances really quick.

With all that said, there is also a huge gap in the Equine industry in quality product.

CSU equine extension has a TON of useful information on how to feed properly. They are great for those who are hauling all the time, competing all the time, and really riding and using their horses as athletes year round.īe careful going to feed companies directly for your information, they can be biased, and rightfully so as they're trying to sell their own products - look for published, peer reviewed data that utilizes feed stuffs that you can get your hands on. I agree with TDove, they are not a long term useful thing for the average rider. Knowing and understanding what kind of body you are feeding is half the battle, the other half is understanding what feed stuff will take care of that animal for you. Equines absorb, ferment, and utilize nutrition differently than any other animal. If you can, see if you can take a course through a local to you ag university or community college to verse yourself in Equine Nutrition. Your state Ag university has an extension agent for this type of stuff. Local extension and state extension offices have great resources for this type of thing. Don't rely on a board of anonymous ( or slightly so ) people to give advice on a true feeding regime or supplements.
