Nutrition

California Trace: Balanced trace mineral supplement

Having your horse on a regular trim cycle and creating a more natural environment are just part of the equation to having healthy hooves, another significant factor is nutrition and a balanced trace mineral intake. Unfortunately for the domesticated horse, it is almost impossible to meet a well balanced trace mineral intake just with hay and salt. California Trace is a concentrated balanced trace mineral supplement that supports optimal hoof growth and healthy coats. Hoof problems greatly decrease over time while feeding California Trace and we highly recommend its use over other supplements on the market.

Chix hay nets: Slow feeders

We have tried a handful of hay nets and non have held up as good as Chix brand hay nets. Slow feeders help horses graze in a more natural way, like Nature intended, while saving you time, improving your horse’s health, and eliminating waste. We recommend hay nets to customers to keep horses busy in his stall, out in the pasture, and even when being hauled away for the weekend. Hay nets have shown to help horses boarded in stalls with ulcers and some other unwanted behaviors.
