Vermont Blend Forage Balancer
Typically you will need three or more supplements to balance grass hay: trace minerals, magnesium and sodium. On top of that, horses who are lacking topline or have poor hoof quality can benefit from the addition of the amino acids that are most deficient in the equine diet. Lastly there is the digestive tract. A healthy digestive tract will play a role in all aspects of your horse's health. Including a prebiotic in your horse's diet ensures a healthy environment for all the beneficial microflora. When you combine these nutrients separately, you end up feeling like your own personal feed manufacturer, mixing this and that. Vermont Blend came about by wanting horse owners to have an easier way. The following chart shows average nutrient levels of hay.
Deficiencies in Hay
Hay is typically deficient in the following nutrients: Magnesium, sodium, copper, zinc, iodine and sometimes selenium. Long term nutrient deficiencies can result in subclinical symptoms such as poor hoof quality, dull fading coat, compromised immune system, exercise intolerance etc. In addition, excess iron can interfere with the absorption of other trace minerals that are already deficient (zinc & copper). The average grass hay has twice as much iron than recommended by the National Research Council (NRC) daily requirements. Vermont Blend supplies these minerals to ensure your horse is receiving his or her daily requirements.
Horses tend to love the taste thanks to Diamond V Yeast. The only ingredients you will find in Vermont Blend is what is needed, nothing more. Manufactured in Vermont. Vermont Blend is safe for horses requiring low sugar and starch diets.
A Bit About Amino Acids
Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. Essential amino acids need to be supplied by the diet, horses can’t produce them on their own. If a horse doesn’t have enough of a certain amino acid, it can’t utilize any of the remaining amino acids present in its diet. Common signs of deficiency are lack of topline and hay belly. Vermont Blend provides the top three limited amino acids.
Magnesium and Calcium Ratio
Magnesium and calcium work together for nerve transmission and muscle contraction. The ideal ratio of magnesium to calcium is 1:1 – 1:2. When calcium is too high it will create an imbalance. Supplementing magnesium will create the proper ratio. Benefits of magnesium supplementation are a reduction of free radical damage, reduce fatty deposits (cresty neck), lowers circulating insulin levels (beneficial for EMS/IR horses), and stress reduction.

My horses have been on this for 5 months now and there is a clear line of improvement in their hooves the growth is tighter and straighter. My 22 year old mare with Cushings has had ongoing soundness issues with reoccurring hoof abscess’s and since the 2nd month on this she’s not had one! Her sole looks like a normal hoof for the first time in years. I’m so excited. Her body condition is great and her coat is slick and shiny. All the horses look great but the change in the hooves proves to me how good it is for them!

My boy has been on Vermont Blend for 1 whole yr now.. his top line is great and his booty has gotten bigger.. love this product and will continue to use.

Vermont Blend has made a dramatic difference in my horses’ skin, coat, and hoof quality. My horses all used to struggle with rain rot, scratches, and coat issues, especially in the spring and fall - all likely from too much iron. Knock on wood, but they have had ZERO issues since starting on VB several years ago. Their hooves also grow super quickly now, too! They eat it just fine so long as I add a little water to their feed and mix it in well; even my very finicky and picky horse. Love this product!

I have both of my horses on this now to balance out their forage diet. They absolutely love it - I had no issues transitioning them. And it's almost like they still think they're eating grain! Win for me AND them!

I started my weanling and 3yr old on Vermont blend after my barefoot specialist recommended it, and I’m floored by how fast my weanling turned around; after getting pulled off moms milk she lost some muscle and weight and after about 2 months she’s completely turned around and back to her beautiful self. Also the hoof health they’ve made is amazing, my 3yr old is a rescue who never had any trims in her life which pulled her hoofs long and splayed and though we were able to get her hooves to a good place, a good supplement goes along way and I saw a lot better growth after she was on it.
