Customer:

“I am currently giving horse guard to my 4 year old, 20+ year old pregnant mare and my 25 year old mule. Can I leave out there mineral blocks it since starting the horse guard/trifecta?”

Answer by Ph.D. Equine Nutritionist, Kelsey Johnson Nonella:
Also, you can leave the mineral block out because there are only very trace amounts in the block. After the mineral block is gone I would recommend just buying a plain white salt block. It will be more cost effective for you when feeding trifecta. I think you will be very happy with the trifecta. It is what we feed to all 15 of our own horses.
