First of all check with your vet to see if your horse is actually lacking minerals and see if your vet recommends anything. if the answer is yes and your vet does not recommend anything use the points below to help: 1) Give your horse(s) salt licks or sometimes called salt stones. This is an easy way of administering minerals because your horse will only lick as much as they need and there is not a worry about getting the right amount perfect. However, in very rare cases some horses have a problem, in which they lick so much salt that they become ill. Very few horse are salt/mineral addicts, and so this choice is one of the best. 2) Let your horse graze in a fresh pasture, as it has more minerals than hay or oats. However, check if your area's soil has a good amount of minerals or not. Sometimes areas have too much, and other times they have too little. 3) There is another way but I wouldn't recommend it as there is a danger of getting the amount wrong, but you can buy mineral supplements and add them to their feed. Again, I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS METHOD!!!
