I am in training with my 4 yo percheron cross mare. She seems low on stamina. She get quality grass hay, pasture and vitamins. What supplement would be right for a draft cross to help with stamina. We have been in training for about 4 months. She is ridden 3x's a week and longed 1-2x's a week.

Tonya, if she's only been in training for 4 months, she's still building up muscle, so will be low on staying power, but that's just normal baby stuff.  If you really think she could use a boost, you could try Red Cell, but, there's various schools of thought on that one.  Most horses aren't iron deficient, and they are natural blood dopers.  I supplement Lysine, which is an essential amino acid which is the one most likely to be deficient horses and humans.

 

But, if it's just that she's a baby building muscle... the only cure is time!
