In the wild, a horse forages its healthy diet—including various minerals and trace elements—by itself. Because our domesticated horses often eat too one-sidedly, 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 foraging behavior. With this trial pack, you can make about 6 mineral buffets for your horse!
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 replace the buckets a few times. You can also start with half a bucket per ingredient. Then halve the recommended dosage. This keeps the ingredients fresh and allows you to observe which minerals your horse prefers.
Important: Make sure your horse always has access to at least one source of clean drinking water with nothing mixed in. Place a bucket of clean drinking water next to the mineral buffet so your horse doesn’t drink the minerals out of thirst. This mineral buffet is suitable for every type of horse. Is your horse sick, or receiving medication or supplements by prescription? Then check with your vet or nutritionist whether you can offer the mineral buffet to your horse.
