The health and performance of your horse is not only a result of a good diet, proper rest and exercise, but is also about the right balance of minerals.  Many horses have restricted access to pasture, and despite modern feeding techniques they may not be receiving the correct levels of minerals and nutrients that they really need.

As minerals are not produced naturally, a deficiency or imbalance of minerals can affect short and long term health as well as overall performance.

When urine, saliva, and sweat are tested, this merely measures minerals that are excreted. When blood is tested, this measures minerals that are temporarily in circulation before excretion and/or storage.

When hair is tested, this shows minerals which have been stored over a period of time.

For this reason, hair has been selected as one of the important materials for worldwide biological testing in the global monitoring system (GEMS) of the United Nations environmental program.
