I started my tb gelding on ultium about 1.5 months ago. he gets 7lbs a day, 2 lbs of alfalfa pellets,24/7 hay and grass and also masters hoof blend. He has rough feet. He is a very energetic horse. i was looking into the b-plex. Is this a good vitamin for hyper horses with bad feet? The say its good for calming horses. Could i replace the Masters hoof blend with b-plex?

Hi Kevan,
I would suggest replacing the Master's Hoof Blend with Glanzen Lite -- you can read about it on my website. This product is excellent for hooves, but also contains the Bplex -- so you can get both, with one product.
Let me know if you have any questions about it.
All the best,
Dr. Getty 
Thank you for replying. How much is the Glanzen Lite, and am I able to order from you?
