In the wild, a horse feeds itself healthy food, including all kinds of minerals and trace elements. As our domestic horses often eat too one-sided a diet, I have created a mineral buffet for my four horses. The horses can choose the flavoured water they want to drink. A healthy supplement for your horse that also stimulates natural foraging behaviour. With this mini pack, you can make 2 to 4 mineral buffets for your horse!
The mini mineral buffet contains 5 ingredients:
60 grams of Celtic sea salt
60 grams Icelandic seaweed
60 g diatomaceous earth
60 grams of mother earth
60 grams spirulina
Follow the recommended quantity on the packaging. This will allow you to (re)fill or change the buckets several times. You can also start with half a bucket per ingredient. Then halve the recommended dosage. This way, the ingredients stay fresh and you can observe which minerals your horse prefers.
Important: Make sure your horse always has access to at least one point of clean drinking water in which nothing has been mixed. Place a bucket of drinking water next to the mineral buffet so that your horse doesn't drink the minerals out of thirst. This mineral buffet is suitable for all types of horse. Is your horse ill, on prescription medication or taking supplements? If so, ask your vet or nutritionist if you can offer him the Mineral Buffet.
