So as horse owners we know all about what it cost to feed a horse. We might as well just take cash from the ATM and feed that to our horse(s). Although I cant help you with ways to save money on the price of hay, I have found five supplements that not only work for my horse and other horses, but cover popular areas of concern: hoof/mane/tail, joint, digestion,weight maintance, and all-around health supplements.
So in that order, the first supplement that has every barrel racer and reiner obessed with is Bio Mane. At first I was skeptical about it since I heard so many good things I thought "This cant work", but after seeing results from other girls at my barn I went and suscribed to the Bio Mane Club. You get a free starter kit ($35 value) and free shipping (which is the way to go). Within two weeks, I saw not only a visual diffence in my horses coat but also a physical. It was softer and so silky to the touch. Ben also had a hot spot on his tail and I not only think it would help with a horses itchy spot but it grew about 1/4" within 3-4 weeks. I say the hype is still real and yes Im team Bio Mane! You can find this supplement at biomane.com. A 30 day supply is $35.
The next supplement I personally havent had Ben on for a long time either, but Ive seen results! The DuMOR Joint supplement has made a huge diffrence in my gelding who not only has minor arthritis but a calcified tendon as well. Ben was loosing motivation and the will to be ridden. He wasnt in pain, but he was uncomfortable. With the extra dose of Glucosamine, Hyaluronic acid, and MSM, this helped my gelding not only move out so smoothly but have that support and cushion for his joints. You can find this at Tractor Supply for $32.99 for a 45 day supply. You do need to feed more of it to a horse that weighs over 1100 pounds, but its so much cheaper than other competators.
The next supplement is Trifecta by Horse Guard. Ive never have had my own personal horse on it but a colt I trained for showmanship and halter was on this. I would recommend this product for any horse undergoing anytype of stress. Whether it be training, showing, or trailering long distance. I noticed his more disre to work since he was better able to digest all of his nutrients he needed. Not only that, but it has joint, and hoof/hair support as well. You can get this at horseguard.com and its priced at $73.52 for a 10 lb bag.
The next supplement is for horses that arent necesarily the easiest keeper or for those who look at treats and gain 10 pounds, unforunatly ive had to deal with both, but this supplement ive found has worked on two horses that I leased and owned. Both horses were hard to keep weight on, regardless of how often thier teeth were floated ect.. Start to Finish Cool Calories not only gave them the extra fat and amino acids in their diet, but it never made them up the wall crazy either. This would also be good for a performance horse that needs a little bit more calories in their diet. You can find this at Tractor Supply for $23.99 for a 8lb bag
So our last supplement is basically for show horses that need a little TLC. I love having show horses on this during show season. They are just shinier, have a little bit more energy to last through a long show day and have a better attiude throughout the day. Purina Amplify is a high fat supplement for high shine condtioning of the coat, and energy for long days (but it wont make them hot). You can find this supplement at Tractor Supply for $39.99 for a 30lb bucket.
