Hi Margie,
The Glanzen Lite is fine as long as they are receiving approximately 8 hours of pasture each day. Hay has lost so many nutrients including vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta carotene (converted to vitamin A) so Glanzen Lite Complete offers these nutrients for hay-based diets.
Keep me posted on how they're doing!
Dr. Getty 
I checked out the site and put my order in, but I got the ponies Glanzen lite, because they do get pasture time.
If they are not on pasture they still have access to hay at all times.
Im hoping this will be good with alfalfa pellets and the glanzen lite, I also got the ponies the lysine.
I also got the nutra flax for my eight year old mare which Im changing her too alfalfa pellets, and I got accel lifetime for her also. Im taking her off the triple crown lite also.
thanks again for all your help.
Margie.
