Do the maths!
If you’re looking at winter supplements to help support your horse this year, then the chances are you’ll be pricing up the options to find out which is the better value…and we’re here to help! There are a few things to look out for…
- How much do you need to feed each day?
- What are the ingredients and what amount of each is included in each daily amount?
- How much does it cost per day to feed?
These three questions provide the framework you need to compare different brands and different supplements. Here’s a breakdown of a few of our supplements that are particularly popular at this time of year…
