Horse Supplements Explained
Supplements fill the gaps that pasture and hard feed alone can't cover. From biotin for hoof integrity to probiotics for hindgut balance, each formula is designed to target a specific body system. Choosing the right product starts with identifying what your horse actually needs, then matching that to a proven active ingredient and an appropriate dose rate.
Joint Supplements for Stiffness and Arthritis
Joint supplements are the most popular category in equine nutrition, and for good reason. Horses that are ageing, in heavy work or recovering from injury often benefit from ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid.
If your horse is stiff on cold mornings, has clicking joints or has been diagnosed with arthritis, a quality joint supplement can support comfort and mobility over the long term.
Hoof and Coat Supplements
Weak, crumbly hooves and a dull coat often point to the same nutritional shortfall. Biotin is the cornerstone ingredient for hoof supplements, typically dosed at 15–20 mg per day for a 500 kg horse.
Many formulas also include zinc, methionine and omega fatty acids to support both hoof wall growth and a healthy coat. For horses prone to laminitis, targeted hoof care supplements can be an important part of the management plan alongside farrier and veterinary input.
Digestive and Gut Health Supplements
Digestive supplements support the stomach and hindgut, two areas where horses are surprisingly vulnerable. Gastric ulcers affect a large proportion of horses in work, and products formulated with pectin, lecithin or calcium carbonate can help buffer stomach acid.
Hindgut supplements typically contain prebiotics or live yeast cultures to support fibre fermentation. If your horse is girthy, fussy at feed time or prone to loose droppings, a digestive support product is worth considering.
Calming Supplements
Calming supplements are designed for horses that become anxious during travel, competition or changes in routine.
Common active ingredients include magnesium, tryptophan and B vitamins, which support normal nervous system function without sedating the horse. Results vary between individuals, so it's worth trialling a product over several weeks before judging its effectiveness.
Vitamins, Minerals and Electrolytes
Broad-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplements ensure your horse isn't missing essential micronutrients, especially when grazing on Australian soils that can be deficient in selenium, copper or zinc.
Calcium supplements suit horses on high-oxalate pastures, while magnesium is commonly added for muscle function. During hot weather or heavy work, electrolyte replacements help maintain hydration and recovery.
