Feed and nutrition are always a challenge for me. It can be difficult to discover exactly what is needed and the expense of diagnostics and supplements or special feeds is often a determining factor. I am fortunate to live in an area of the country where good quality hay is abundant. A little selenium and some probiotics are usually all that is required to supplement the grass/alfalfa hay mix I feed. For special problems, I have had great success with Silver Lining Equine Herbal* supplements. I put Jalila on a daily dose of LCR to sooth and heal any possible ulcers for one month. She has a history of developing ulcers with any new situation, and I believe most horses deal with them much of the time. I use LCR whenever something changes in a horse’s environment to help offset the stress. I also gave her and the others in the adjacent pen Rescue Remedy to help mitigate stress and promote relaxation and calmness.
Jillie was still pacing the fence and disinterested in cleaning up her hay, so I added Silver Lining Be Calm to see if it would help her settle. Within 3 days she was relaxed, eating better and cleaning up her hay. This translated to weight gain and a happier horse, which made me happier too. Win! Win!
