In the wild, a horse forages for its own healthy food – including all kinds of minerals and trace elements. Because our domesticated horses often eat too one-sided, Femke Dölle developed a mineral buffet for her horses. The horses can choose which water with a natural ingredient they want to drink. A healthy addition for your horse and it also stimulates natural searching behaviour. With this sample pack you can make a mineral buffet for your horse about 6 times!
The Deluxe mineral buffet contains 5 natural ingredients:
- 110 ml Peat drink
- 110 ml Nettle juice
- 110 ml Chlorella
- 110 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 110 ml German Rock Salt
Use the recommended amount on the packaging. This way you can refill or refresh the buckets a few times. You can also start with half a bucket per ingredient. Then halve the recommended dosage. This way the ingredients stay fresh and you can observe which minerals your horse prefers.
Important: Make sure your horse always has access to at least one point of clean drinking water that has nothing mixed in it. Place a bucket of clean drinking water next to the mineral buffet so that your horse does not drink the minerals out of thirst. This mineral buffet is suitable for any type of horse. Is your horse sick, or is he on medication or supplements on prescription? Then ask your vet or nutritionist whether you can offer the mineral buffet to your horse.
