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.
And finally, look for my articles in a variety of local publications and online newsletters, as well as the Horse Journal, where I am the Contributing Nutrition Editor.

Hi Dianne,
The Accel is certainly more economical than Glanzen Complete. Glanzen, ideally, should be given in at least 4 ounce dosages. Since it is high in B vitamins, along with hoof support and is made from flaxseed meal, it is a more expensive product.
Accel is a good, comprehensive supplement that fills in the gaps for your average, healthy horse that is doing fine and has no particular health issues or demands on his system that create stress (e.g., daily exercise, showing, stalling, injury recuperation, pain, etc.).
So, sounds like Accel would be your best bet, along with 2 ounces of Nutra Flax per day.
Hope this is helpful.
