Vitamin and mineral licks
These can be very useful if you have a number of horses sharing a paddock.
In this situation it may not be possible to feed them individually because of bullying or fighting, but a vitamin and mineral lick is a practical way of helping to ensure they get a balanced diet.
You’ll find many different brands available in your local feed shop including Orignal Horsily that contains vitamins, minerals and trace elelments to balance any deficieinces in your horse’s grazing and forage.
When fed alongside good quality forage it can remove the need to feed hard food.
