Supplements for Pregnant Mares

Postby vallygirl927 » Fri Mar 12, 2010 9:39 am

Hey All!

I'd like to hear if any of you have any recommendations on supplements for pregnant mares. My research has shown that there isn't too much needed beyond a balanced hay diet (calcium & phospherus ratios) and a trace mineral block up until approx 3 months before. What do you all use?
