Jane Skinner, Bishop's Stortford:
"I have used Gravenhorse products for over a decade with very good results for my Standardbred mare, now semi-retired from her endurance career and still in great shape at 22.
Over the years, John Chapman's guidance on all things nutrition has helped to steer me on the right path. He is always willing to advise and his knowledge is wide and deep.
Of course, there are many factors at play in keeping your horse well nourished. I personally believe that having them live out 24/7 is the best option for any horse, alongside a forage diet and an understanding of your soil type so you can supplement accordingly.
Supplements. A big subject. Feed merchants and the big manufacturers generally talk about balancers, don't they, and appear to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to the topic. At Gravenhorse, with John's guidance, you can be more specific about what your horse may need. And you can be sure that you are buying only the right minerals and vitamins to do their job. No filters or additives!
For example, I've always used Gravenhorse Calcium and Magnesium (basically an electrolyte balancer) and the Gravenhorse Hoof Hardener, BMZ. Hmmm, What does BMZ stand for? Nothing more than Biotine, methionine and zinc. No fillers, no additives, just these three ingredients to improve the quality of your horse's hooves, mane and tail. My farrier is very pleased with the material he has to work on, thanks to Gravenhorse Hoof Hardener".
Author's note BMZ = Biotin, Methionine and Zinc. The current product also has seaweed meal added to increase the natural supply of a wide range of micronutrients.

haven’t looked back! They have never looked in better health, and
all have just the right energy levels required. Thanks, John.’ |
