Hm. Do you mean a vitamin/mineral pellet like Pro Balance? Or a supplement to add to oats or feed like Pennwood's Equine Supreme? Both of those are good.

if you have a easy keeper, why do you want to put him/ her on a supplement? Save yourself the money, sounds like you are doing fine.

"more is better", "anything worth doing is worth over doing", "when given a choice-- take both" and "moderation is for monks" have always been my creed.

Actually I have "Peter's Laws, The creed of the Socioppathis Obsessive Complulsive" hanging in my office.

many of the companies that make horse feed also make supplements. I would suggest getting your hay tested (about 20-40 dollars) and then you will know for sure what is lacking in your horses diet and if you should supplement and then with what. Many of the feed stores know where you can get hay tested if you do not already know of a place.

Good luck...
