Hi to everyone-
My 14 yr old Twh mare is a compensating IR horse. Has anyone used formula 4 feet as a mineral and vitamin supplement all in one to help with IR horses condition and quiessance together for further reduction in crested neck. I am switching my horses supplements to this after much research and countless phone calls to the feed companies.
Has anyone used these before? I am also starting non GM. no molasses- Speedi beet to mix with supplment to help this mare.
Let me know your thoughts?

Greetings Jean,
Thank you for your patience in my getting back to you. I took a look at Formula 4 Feet and it appears to be worthwhile for an IR horse. I contains Chromium and over 5000 mg of Magnesium per 170 gram dose.
Avoiding molasses is also important, so you are on the right track using the Speedi-Beet without molasses.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
