Gotcha Equine apologise for not having the horse health checklist fully operational. This will be a functional tool in the near future.

Below is a brief list of the some symptoms. There are MANY more. Calcium should be given to all horses all year round. Most Australian soils are under half the required level. All horses in all situations need a calcium supplement. It's supplied separately from Supreme Australian-Horse Vit & Min because horses have quite varying requirements depending on environment and work load. Calcium keeps horses calmer and free moving and may extend their working life and is an important supplement for pregnant and lactating mares. Calcium is vital when grazing oxalated grasses (Kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum), Setaria (Setaria sphacelata), Buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris), Green Panic (Panicum maximum), Pangola (Digitaria eriantha), Para Grass (Urochloa mutica), Sand Bur (), Guinea Grass (Panicum maximum), Signal Grass (Brachiaria decumbens) and Purple Pigeon Grass (Setaria porphyrantha)).
