Ph gut balancer........

Ever since I got Betty she has had constant Diaherea and I tried everything from Probiotics to you name it. Her poop did not get any better so I had my chiropractor come out; adjust her; and I asked her. She recommended that I buy her Dynamite Plus. She told me that Dynamite Plus had a Ph gut balancer in it that would aid in taking her Diaherea away for good. She explained to me that Diaherea in our equine friends is a cause of a unhealthy gut. That Betty did not have enough healthy gut microbes to balance out her gut so she was having loose bowels. Dynamite Plus also has calming herbs and coenzymes to balance the gut PH. This has helped her so much and not to mention it has been giving her a shiny coat! I will continue to keep her on it as long as I can. I definitly think that it has made a difference.

Weight Difficulties............

Even though I am blessed with an easy keeper mare and gelding. I know that there are a lot of people out there who have problems with weight. Especially our older equine friends! Some horses can't have it all and yes do require some "extra care" if you will. Weather it be separating them to have and adequate amount of hay or giving them extra, extra amounts of hay all of these things will help in order for the weight to be gained. One of the other key reasons for horses loosing strategic amounts of weight in a month or so would be BAD TEETH. EVERY horses teeth should be done EVERY SINGLE YEAR. This length of time may be bumped up for horses with choke issues or older horses that may have a hard time with their teeth. 50 percent of the time weight loss can be a contributing factor to severe dental issues. The key reason for weight loss in horses both older and younger is the ineffective calorie intake. (Calorie Deficiency). Some horses metabolic systems run a lot slower than most so therefore will slow down the calorie intake. This process results in them getting little or no calories. Some people tend to think that quarter horses and some of the other larger breeds don't need a fat builder. Yes, in some cases for some horses this may be right but for senior horses and horses with a calorie deficiency a fat suppliment will be your best bet. HAY: Horses need to eat ten percent of their body weight even more on colder nights. Depending on how big of a herd your horse is turned out in make sure that your horse gets PLENTY of hay. Separating your horse from the herd may be necessary depending on how low your gal/guy is on the totem pole. Horses eat tons of hay to keep themselves warm when they run out of hay especially on some colder evenings this process is done and therefore your horse will get colder much, much faster! BLANKETING: Horses that have a shorter hair coat during the winter and senior horses ALWAYS should have the OPTION OF HAVING A BLANKET put on. When it drops below 35 is really when you should start blanketing your horses. When it is single digits multiple layers are required to keep your horse warm enough. Older horses especially have a harder time keeping themselves warm, so you have to aid them with a blanket. Below are some links to websites and articles on weight loss, and Cool Calories 100. If your horse seems to be a harder keeper than a fat suppliment will do him/her wonders. Cool Calories 100 is a fat suppliment that I have recommended many horse owners to try and every time I think the horse has had amazing results.

Loose Salt Vs. Salt Blocks.....

I know there is a lot of controversy between loose salt and salt blocks. There are both downsides and upsides to this!!!! If you see your horse constantly licking the sand in your arena(s) or dirt then this is a key indicator that your horse needs vital amounts of minerals and salt!!!! Loose Salt: Loose salt is recommended for horses that like to crib, bite, chew, or are really mouthy and are constantly biting something. This is because if they were to bite the entire salt block that would break a tooth or choke on how much they have in their mouth. Also, with salt blocks there is a lot of talk about how horses can not lick enough of the salt block to get enough magnesium, and copper. They would have to be constantly licking it. However, you can always buy a Redmond Rock and smash it up into pieces and they can have enough of it that way as well! Also, there is a Dynamite 2 to 1 free choice mineral that you can give your horse but since it is so concentrated you will have to add Isyzmine to it, in order to break it up a little bit!! ;) ;) ;)

Salt Blocks While Salt Blocks are good for larger herds of horses and inexpensive if you want to cut expenses. Keep in mind that some horses need to fill their mineral bank so much that they can never lick enough salt to fill it to the top. Salt Blocks are good but pay attention to the contents they contain in them, as long as they have copper and magnesium in them you are GOOD!!! ;) ;) ;) ;) Depending on how big the salt blocks are you can always smash them into pieces and put them in feeding bowls around the field. That should be good!!! The highest quality of salt for horses is the **REDMOND ROCK**. ;) ;)
