Welcome to my forum.
Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.
Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.
Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought.
I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.

Hi Nancy,
If you’re looking for a good multi vitamin/mineral supplement, I like Select I and Select II. Both are made by Richdel. Select I is for diets high in legume hays (alfalfa, clover), so I would suggest this one for your horse. It’s readily available on line. I do a lot of shopping at www.valleyvet.com but there are others. Or, you may be able to get your local feed store to order it for you.
If you’d like to add this supplement to some feed, without feeding grain, I would suggest a rice bran top dressing such as Select Vita Bran (also by Richdel).
Hope this is helpful.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
