Does my horse need minerals? What minerals does my horse need? Where can I find reliable information about minerals for horses? These are important questions because minerals support nearly every part of a horse’s health, including strong bones, healthy hooves, muscle function, hydration, digestion, immunity and overall performance.
The right mineral program depends on your horse’s age, workload, forage, pasture, geographic location and current diet. Some horses may need a complete vitamin and mineral supplement, while others may benefit from specific nutrients such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, copper, zinc, selenium or salt. More is not always better, and an unbalanced mineral program can create new problems.
The InfoHorse.com Minerals for Horses area helps horse owners understand equine mineral requirements, recognize possible nutritional gaps and compare products from companies that make minerals and supplements for horses. Whether you are feeding a pasture horse, senior horse, growing horse or performance horse, this section can help you ask better questions and make more informed feeding decisions.
