[...] My hoof trimmer suggested California Trace a few years ago and this horse’s feet have been so much better. I feed the pelleted and he has no problem with eating it. Not sure whether we need to supplement magnesium here but I plan to look into it. Highly recommend California Trace.
Love Cal Trace! I feed it to three horses and a donkey. My guys will only eat the pelleted version--the powdered version is pretty strong. I feed it with 2 tbsp mag ox, 1 tbsp iodized salt, and a cup of whole flax.
Just started her on CA Trace a couple of weeks ago, pellets, and she licks her bowl clean. Honestly, I believe it’s not that product is better than the other...I think she didn’t like the powder form. In fact, when I opened the bag of CA Trace, I thought to myself, No way she will eat this...it stinks”. But she does eat CA Trace pellets.
This is Perignon's first time back in the FEI ring since his injury... California Trace brought his body back so quickly, I'm thrilled with the results! Thank you Sally and California Trace for your continued support; we couldn't do it without you.
I am writing to thank you and to tell you how much California Trace has improved my horses hooves. I have been giving Mocha, my Arabian gelding, California Trace minerals for a month and a half, and his white line separation has almost entirely vanished! My farrier commented on the improvement after just three weeks on the supplement. He has cared for this horse’s hooves for more than 13 years, and was amazed at the change. I am a skeptic by nature, and am totally a believer now! I am thrilled with the improvement, and plan to keep Mocha on California Trace. Mocha is 15 years old, and a great trail horse, and I want to keep him well so we can ride trails for MANY more years. Thank you for helping us be able to do this together!
