Femke Dölle - Mineral Buffet Original

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 no less than 2 to 4 times!

The Original mineral buffet contains 5 natural ingredients:

• 57 grams Celtic sea salt
• 57 grams Icelandic seaweed
• 57 grams of diatomaceous earth
• 57 grams of mother earth
• 57 grams of spirulina

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.

Horses in the wild eat an average of 86 types of plants per day. In the area where they live, there are over 300 different types that they can choose from.

Horses know exactly what their bodies need based on zoopharmacognosy, also known as self-medication.

By offering a mineral buffet your horse can choose for themselves again. It is really fantastic to see how they walk past the mineral buffet to smell, taste and drink!

Preventing shortages and sand licking

In the wild, horses know exactly what they need to eat to stay healthy. A healthy horse's body usually produces vitamins itself. Because we often feed our horses one-sidedly with hay and grass and perhaps a pellet, it is not unthinkable that they will develop deficiencies.

You see your horse eating sand or they scrape away earth to then lick the stones and soil underneath. To solve deficiencies, I offer my horses a mineral buffet.
