Equine Vitamin Mineral Supplement for Horses

Horse Guard is the most highly concentrated equine vitamin-mineral supplement on the market today. By providing your horse with just two ounces per day, you can ensure they receive all the critical nutrients typically missing from hay, including 3 mg of organic selenium.

Vibrant health in horses is the result of many factors, with nutrition being the cornerstone. Horses have very limited food sources, primarily from the local area, making them more prone to deficiencies caused by deficiencies in local soils and the loss of vitamin content during feed storage.

This formula has been reformulated to include 1,500 IU of Vitamin E per dose, providing an essential antioxidant that supports healthy muscle function and immune system health. The recommended feeding rate is 2 oz per day, per 1,000 lbs of body weight, with a convenient scoop included in the bag.

A 10 lb bag of Horse Guard provides an 80-day supply for a 1,000 lb horse, while a 40 lb bag offers a 320-day supply. This comprehensive vitamin-mineral supplement helps ensure complete nutrition and supports all essential body functions.

Selenium is a key component of this formula, serving several important roles in horse health. As a crucial element in antioxidant defense, selenium-requiring enzymes like glutathione peroxidase neutralize harmful free radicals, protecting cellular machinery from damage. Selenium is also necessary for normal growth, disease resistance, and reproductive function.

Organic selenium, like the kind found in Horse Guard, is more readily absorbed and safer for both horses and humans compared to inorganic forms. The organic selenium compounds produced by plants and yeast provide a potentially toxic element in a safe, bioavailable form, limiting excessive uptake.

In contrast, inorganic selenium (selenite) is passively absorbed, allowing for rapid and unregulated uptake of toxic levels. Organic selenium is also much safer to handle during feed mixing, as it is not absorbed through the skin like sodium selenite.

Horse Guard promotes a shiny coat by providing biotin and zinc, the building blocks for healthy hair and hooves. The probiotics, prebiotics, and yeast in the formula aid digestion and support faster muscle recovery, while the balanced vitamins and trace minerals meet nutritional needs not fulfilled by hay alone.

Trusted by professional horse trainers and veterinarians, Horse Guard is a family-owned and operated business dedicated to creating top-tier equine supplements since 1978. As second-generation sisters continue the family legacy, they remain committed to empowering horse owners with the knowledge and products to support the overall health and happiness of their horses.
