Re: 24/7 Turnout

Hi AJ,

If you are feeding the Triple Crown Low Starch according to directions, you really do not need to add another vitamin/mineral supplement. And, Nutra Flax would be sufficient. However, if you are feeding less than recommended, I would consider adding Glanzen Complete to her diet. If she needs additional joint support then Reitsport would be a good choice.

Be careful on feeding rice bran -- make sure that it is a product that has added calcium. Because rice bran has an inverted calcium to phosphorus ratio (less calcium than phosphorus) you do not want to feed this unless she is getting large amount of calcium say from a high alfalfa diet. But, commercial products that are stabilized and have added calcium, such as ADM Alliance's Natural Glo rice bran, is fine.

If you ever find that you need assistance in customizing her diet and having me crunch some numbers to check on her intake, let me know.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
