Most people will feed their growing foals a suppliment for the first year. After that, depending on the individual animal, and his work load they may still need extra vitamins and minerals. Most horses are on a hay/grain diet and most grain products have the vitamins and minerals already in them. So what they don't get from the hay they get from the grain and are pretty well balanced with this feeding program. Horses that have a heavy work load or are stressed (show horses) will benefit from some extra nutrition.
