Re: Dew Posioning

Hi Brenda,

Reitsport is what I call the "gold standard of supplements." If your horse is strictly on hay, consider Reitsport Complete or for even more joint support from hyaluronic acid, it would be Reitsport HA-100 Complete.

If, however, your horse is on pasture, there is no need to get the Complete versions since fresh grass has nutrients that are lost in hay.

You would not need a probiotic with Reitsport since it is already added. And, keep in mind that this product is a complete vitamin/mineral supplement so additional supplementation is generally not necessary.

If I can answer any more questions about this or other products I recommend, please let me know. As you can see, I only offer a few products since these are the ones I find valuable and helpful for many horses. I find that it is helpful for horse owners to not have to skim page after page of supplements in catalogs, not knowing which one to choose.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
