All About Supplements

During the winter, horses face challenges such as colder temperatures, reduced field access, and increased energy demands. Using targeted supplements helps fill nutritional gaps, supports immunity, maintains body condition, and keeps joints, hooves, and digestion healthy when natural forage quality declines.

 

Choosing the right supplements based on your horse’s age, workload, and health needs can make a noticeable difference throughout the colder months.

Here are some of our favourite winter supplements to keep our horses happy and healthy:

Vitamin E & Selenium: Support immune function and muscle health, especially when time in the field is limited.
