I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who thinks their feed room
shelf looks like a pharmacy? Sometimes I really wonder if my horses need
anything other than a good vitamin/mineral supplement and electrolytes?

I would be interested to know who believes in feeding supplements
for preventative maintenance versus those who feed supplements only after
they have found out their horse really needs some form of supplement? For
example, I'm feeding Flex Free to one of my horses who has absolutely
nothing wrong with him. I felt I needed to do this for preventative
maintenance. I'm questioning whether that type of thinking is "getting the
cart before the horse".

There are so many supplements out there that it just boggles the
mind. I don't mind spending the money if I'm sure that what I'm feeding is
really going to help but otherwise, why throw away the money?? Happy
trails. Kim.
