Vitamins

Vitamins and fatty acids are importent in terms of the horse's well-being, there are several different types of vitamins which all got different functions in the horse's body. A Vitamin supplement for horses is sometimes required in the feeding state to prevent deficiencies.

We offer several different types of vitamins that supports different needs. Vitamin A is especially found in fresh grass and is replenished during summer months when the horse is out to pasture. During colder months when the horses instead of eating fresh grass are eating hay, a vitamin A supplement can be a good alternative as the hay dosen't contain as much vitamin A as fresh grass. 

Vitamin B has an important role in the digestive system which increases during fur felling, during that time a vitamin B supplement is the perfect alternative along with the right ammount of protein. Vitamin D is important for the skeletton and is produced in the horse's body while its exposed to UV-radiation. During darker parts of the year and during times when the horses spends the most time inside a vitamin D supplement can be conciderd. 

For an active horse who trains hard vitamin E is required, in case of the feeeding stat not bringning enough a vitamin E supplement can be necessary. If you need help finding the right vitamins for your horse, please contact the store by email: info@hogstaonline.com
