Trace minerals play a crucial role in maintaining a horse’s overall health, performance, and wellbeing.

Inadequate or imbalanced levels of these minerals can lead to deficiencies, metabolic issues, or even poor performance. This handout will help horse owners understand the importance of trace mineral supplementation and how to ensure their horses are getting the right amounts.
