RE: [RC] [RC] So, what supplements to give a distance horse... - Ranelle Rubin

Kristi,

You are doing a good job! Dynamite is the best IMHO...

Also, when you get ready to do rides, consider Dynamite Pre Race Pack.., as well as the Probiotic and DynaSpark products (all Dynamite products)_...I like them when used in combo as they don't work against each other. I do personally use the Free and Easy (Dynamite's joint supplement) for my very large/big bodied gelding.

Variety of hay, easy on the alfalfa and grain..you go girl!!

Hi all -

Sorry to butt in on the dance discussion, but I've got
a 'serious' question for you...he he he.

I've sadly been away from distance riding for a few
years, but happily have high hopes of starting up
again in 2007. Back when I did compete (NATRC and LD)
I was putting a lot of money's worth of supplements in
my horse (he was like a first child, and you know how
those first borns are pampered and protected). Well,
now that I've got a second 'child' to feed/supplement
also, I've mellowed a bit about the whole supplement
thing....

Then yesterday, the KV catalog was laying on the
counter while I was eating supper, so I started
browsing. BIG mistake!!! All those feelings of "OH, he
needs this and this and this!" came flooding back. So,
help me you guys! I know there's a ton of info in the
archives about who feeds what supplement and why, but
for those of you who take a completely logical
approach to supplementation for a distance horse (you
may or may not know if you qualify as logical, so give
it a shot and let us be the judge), share what you
supplement every day, during rides, and after rides.
It seems in the past someone was chatting about
after-ride supplementation for faster healing, and I'd
really be interested in that.

My horses currently get grass hay, free choice red and
white salt, a basic Dynamite supplement given daily in
their small handful of oats/beetpulp/BOSS, probiotics
when needed, electrolytes before/during hot/humid/long
rides, and that's it.

Kristi

Life's a journey, so enjoy the ride (and try not to fall off)
