Products

I am sure I've shared this before, but I've been asked recently by a few different people which equine products I use. I am a pretty conservative person by nature. Even at home, my beauty and medical products are pretty limited. My daily routine doesn't include a lot of tubes and bottles, and my medical fixes are limited to soap and water, Neosporin, and band aids.

For the horses, I follow a pretty simple routine that is not very product rich. Here is my entire repertoire of tubes, bottles, and jugs.

For hair:

TONS of Pyranha (it works the best for our flies and insects), EQyss detangler for deep conditioning/Mane 'n Tail for more frequent use, EQ Solutions for baths, and Quic Silver for Speedy's white socks

For wounds that don't require a prescription:

Iodine, Betadine Surgical Scrub, a concoction created by my vet to treat thrush, and Scarlex for topical cuts and abrasions.

To be consumed:

Electrolytes (and I'm picky about the brand - this is the same company that makes EnduraMax, the formula has been adapted for non-endurance work levels) and some kind of horse treats (whatever my feed store has at the time). Not pictured are free choice alfalfa hay, beet pulp, rice bran, and Himalayan salt rocks.

And that's it. There is nothing else that I put on or in my horses unless it is prescribed by the vet (dewormers are somewhat vet prescribed). Both of my boys are healthy and happy year round. They get an occasional scrape or cut, but their coats are soft and shiny, their hooves are hard and healthy, and their digestive systems hum along efficiently doing their jobs.

I've been considering feeding Platinum Performance for the better part of a year. I just have a hard time justifying the expense when my boys are doing great with no supplements at all. Until I make that decision, what you see pictured is all the "product" that my horses get.
