Try Custom Mineral Balancing — or California Trace
When I saw clients struggling to clear up stubborn thrush, soaking frogs for days on end, I knew there had to be another answer.
Pete Ramey suggested mineral supplementation after taking a Dr. Kellon nutrition class http://www.drkellon.com/ offered classes to help people learn more about equine nutrition and mineral balancing.
A good friend of mine took the same classes, then started testing the hay she fed at her boarding operation and offering custom balanced minerals as an option. Thrush began resolving itself in those horses.
I talked as many clients as I could into balancing minerals to their horses diets, but when clients board at stables or purchase hay in small quantities, custom minerals become too expensive.
That’s when my friend and fellow PHCP trimmer Sally Hugg announced her new product, California Trace. Sally began using standard hay tests to come up with a generic supplement for her clients who purchased hay in small quantities or boarded. As word got around about it, more people asked to purchase it, and California Trace was born. See http://www.californiatrace.com/about.html for more information. Essentially, CA Trace is minerals custom blended to balance the hays grown in California, and the western US.
