well said.

This a great argument for a balanced feed with a good reputation rather than trying to supplement for what your feed is lacking. A personal favorite is Purina Strategy, ive seen first hand what a difference a quality feed can make in just a short peroid of two weeks.

Another thing people seem to forget is that even if the supplements do what they promise, there is no way to make sure your horse is eating the supplement. This is especially true of pour-on-feed powders or liquids that so many supplements come in. For being such chow hounds horses can use their extremely dextrous noses to shake off or push aside anything that makes their favorite thing (their grain) smell or taste a little funny.
