Southern California Custom Mineral Blend Now Available!

Carefully formulated to compliment the
typical Southern California forage.
Our Mineral Blend exceeds the
NRC's Nutrient Requirements of Horses
while carefully adjusting major & trace mineral
ratios for optimum absorption.

Horses thrive best on adequate amounts of forage, and most of the popular hays provide ample amounts of vitamins, protein, and carbohydrates. It's the minerals that are often found to be in less than optimum amounts. Our typical Southern California hay (hay grown in the Imperial Valley), particularly bermuda, but also alfalfa, orchard, etc, is consistently alarmingly high in iron, and low in copper and zinc. The end result is, essentially, a lack of copper and zinc in the diet. Some of the common symptoms of this imbalance include poor hoof quality, signs of insulin resistance, laminitis, joint problems, illthrift, irritability, non-specific lameness, poor hair coat....the list goes on. The myriad commercial mineral supplements fall pathetically short of addressing our specific imbalances, and in fact, frequently throw the balance even further out of range.

After analyzing hay samples from dozens of ranches in the area, and averaging the results, we've formulated a blend to fill the gaps. Our So Cal Custom Mineral Blend is now available!
