Within the first month of putting my horse on the Animal Trace-Minerals, I noticed a change around his coronary band as well as my farrier noticed a change in the texture of his foot for the better. He’d been on the Minerals for three years, so I decided they had worked at a cellular level and took him off them. That was a mistake. He started having sensitivity to hoof testers and general inflammation in his feet. Put him back on and within two weeks, his feet were better again. Lesson learned – if they need the Minerals, they will always need them. I definitely recommend the Animal Trace-Minerals.
