[RC] Magnesium/Deficiency - Barb PeckIf your trainer has done a nutritional analysis on your horses diet- and that's how he's come to that conclusion- then he's right.. and you should supplement what the diet is lacking. This assumes a hay analysis- and total diet analysis.......and that he knows what macro and micro nutrients a horse should be getting and in what ratios.. I live in the NE. I have my have anyalsed each year. And I have to supplement magnesium quite often. (actually each horse gets about 8 grams per day mixed in with the pellets becuase that's what the diet is lacking this year.). So bottom line- if he's done his homework and that's what the horse needs- then give it to him.. but if he's basing it on some subjective observation - then don't do it. You really have to be somewhat knowledgable if you are going to start adding additional single elements to the horses diet. That's my 5 cents.
