QuestionI will be working on a horse boarding ranch in Southern Arizona. 90 acres of irrigated pasture. I'd like to know what supplements these horses need while on bermuda grass/summer or winter mix/winter pasture?
AnswerDear Terri,
ADM make a good mineral block and or crumble for horses at pasture

and otherwise there is a AZ formulated supplement that I have seen used for horses fed bermuda hay in AZ and I don't see why it wouldn't work for pasture as well. It might not be so easy to feed pastured horses though but would work if they get anything else in a bucket.

here are some notes by the person who puts this mix together they are based on very sound principles.
