5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job for my horses!

Result: hooves have improved by leaps and bounds, coats are shorter and silkier even in winter, they are calmer even under stress, they eat better and work with focus. Our barn water is pretty acidic which doesn't let them get enough magnesium from feed only, so this was definitely the answer.I cannot recommend this enough!If your horses are excitable/nervous/anxious AND you think they aren't getting enough magnesium from their diet (research the feed, water, soil, pasture, hay in your area), you can try magnesium. Just ask your vet first!Now for the bad part...The powder isn't exactly practical to feed. It sticks to your skin when you reach for the bottom of the bag and is very annoying. A very precise kitchen scale was needed to figure out exactly how many spoons to feed. The horses probably won't like it at first (it has no taste, but would you like to eat dust?!) and most got blown away when they snorted at the strange stuff. We learned that burying the spoon-full of powder under the grain helped - the horses would take a large bite from their feed and accidentally swallow most of it, eventually licking the rest off the sides of the bowl. Visitors will sometimes wonder what is the mysterious white powder around the horse's nose, but it's still well worth the trouble!100% recommended.

My horses are on this daily. And I will keep buying this.

Tasteless, easy to add a measured dose, very cost effective. Provides essential mag minerals that are low in grazing on clay soil and although fed quality forage that too is farmed on sandy/clay soil. Mag ox isn't water soluble so provides a continuous buffer to gut lining from one end to the other. The Mag uptake is greater with a very small dose of ordinary table salt too, has settled my very anxious pony and is much less food aggressive. Add lib forage isn't an option but concerned that restricted forage may be causing other digestive issues. The whole herd now on it, all calmer and less antsy over breakfast.

4.0 out of 5 stars but they like the taste so all good so far

I use this product to help with laminitis in ponies, using the correct dosage balances the need formagnesium which is lacking in most soils.

My horse had taken leave of his senses. The lights were on but no one was home. He was wired, spooky as heck, belligerent, borderline dangerous and impossible to do anything with. It turned out he wasn’t possessed or tripping on the magic mushrooms in his paddock but he had magnesium deficiency. This did the job and brought him back to planet earth again.

I ordered the 4kg size as I needed some ASAP so could get this next day. Although the image looked quite off-colour, the smaller packets all appear white, and as all say they're 98.3% pure I crossed my fingers and hoped it was just the packaging/photo. Sadly not the case - the product is very yellow in colour (pure Mag. Ox. Is white, as have been the ~99% pure ones I've had in the past) and there's no indication as to what the 1.7% contamination actually is (possibly sulphur given the colour, but there's no sulphur smell???) In future I'll be going back to purer forms, or at least ones that identify the contaminants as I don't want to create a new problem when trying to fix the one I already have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for preventing laminitis!

After researching gut toxicity and the role it plays in causing laminitis, I now feed this supplement to my horse to help control long term prevention.
