Anyone who has trained a horse will
tell you that a horse is only as good as its legs.
When a prospective buyer inspects a horse the first test it must
pass is the "leg test". The joints must be sound, the legs
must be clean, with plenty of bone and no lumps or bumps! If a buyer or
trainer starts with the legs, then that's where you as a breeder should
start - the legs!
What goes into building legs like
steel?
Two factors are absolutely essential for
the development of good boned, good legged young horses. The first is an
adequate and balanced supply of the two essential bone-building
ingredients namely, protein and minerals. Folactin Red provides the
minerals.
The second is the right environment.
Exercise stimulates bone growth and strength, especially in the legs.
Good legged horses cannot be reared on "tennis courts". A
young horse requires undulating paddocks of sufficient size to allow
maximum exercise.
However, one without the other is no
good. You may have the ideal paddocks, but are you feeding the
ingredients required for the initial formation, and overall strength, of
bone?
