Big Sky Horse Mineral supplies the animal with over 70 minerals in chelate form to detoxify, and will aid in parasite control. These three issues all have to be addressed if we want healthy horses. You get all this in one package. Whatever your horse needs, Big Sky gives you the foundation to build upon.

Big Sky Horse Mineral is a balanced amount of macro and micro minerals to complement each other and help the horse balance his system. Since Big Sky is a product in its natural form, a horse will free choice it to supply his mineral needs as it is intended. Big Sky gives the horse a bigger variety of minerals than we have found in any other product. Balanced by nature and in harmony with nature.

It is important what you feed a horse. It is also important how many of these nutrients the horse retains for himself. Most important, are these nutrients surrounded by the correct micro-nutrients so they can enter the blood stream in the correct balance so the horse can get the most benefit?

With the horse being somewhat of a desert animal, he prefers the mineral rich dry grasses growing around the mineral deposits in the western states. If the horse has a health issue he would even eat the mineral rich soil to correct his problem. This is what we are bringing to you for your horse. In all our years of horse nutrition I have still not found a better balanced, more complete mineral supplement system than what nature has given us.

The demand for micro-nutrients in any given horse is constantly changing. Force feeding micro-nutrients often overloads the liver and kidneys, which need to be at full capacity during high physical output. The serious horse owner should not guess at the requirements of the horse but should free choice.

    Great stuff !

    Posted by Anita Rich on 7th Jan 2016

    I've been using this product for several years. It's great and my horse loves it. His health is great too ! My goats also ate it. My new pony is not so fond of it but hopefully in time, she will be enjoying it also. Just wish it was available in a pellet form. I think they'd be more apt to eat it. But...this still works !

    Love It

    Posted by Unknown on 24th Dec 2015

    This product has been just the thing for my horses! Both of them have struggled a bit with Cannon Keratosis, and my mare has struggled a lot with funny reactions to bugs and cracked hooves. There conditions took some time to improve feeding this product, but by the end of just one bad, the ailments I have mentioned have subsided! I think this is an excellent base product, to then allow you to help fill in the rest of the holes your horse in his diet. I highly recommend using this product! It has made such a huge difference for my two Dutch Warmbloods.

    Horses love Big Sky Minerals!

    Posted by Ann Dion on 9th Dec 2015

    I have used Big Sky Minerals for about a year. The horses love them and when I put a dish out in the paddock they all flock to get their fill. I started out by putting them on their feed and then went to having them free choice next to the salt block.

    Big Sky Is The Best

    Posted by Anita on 8th Dec 2015

    I have been using Big Sky for a year now. I am very pleased with how my horses feel and look. I have not had to worm them or use any other supplements. They have good strong hooves and my mare's heat cycles have be greatly improved. All 8 of them love the Big Sky.

    Essential

    Posted by M. Sturgis on 28th Oct 2015

    Big Sky Minerals are an absolute essential in any horse's diet. Since feeding this supplement, our horses have taken on a deep, deep shine. The coats not only glisten but are very soft to the touch. Our horses are rarely shampooed and hair conditioned. The horses are barefoot and the minerals help with healthy hoof growth and tough feet. This is not an overnight magic formula. The horse's body will deposit the minerals where needed most before the aforementioned super shine appears. Our horses receive mainly Bermuda grass and orchard grass hay. The supplement is added to a few cubes of moistened alfalfa hay for palatability along with freshly ground flax seed, and some whole oats. We live in Arizona where humidity is between 7 and 35% at best on average. The ground is tough and calls for tough feet. We do not use chemical de-wormers and yet the horses are very healthy, even frisky,and the natural deep shine says it all! Thank you for such a great product. M. Sturgis Arizona

    My Horses Love It

    Posted by Unknown on 20th Oct 2015

    A friend recommended Hiland Big Sky Minerals and gave me a sample for them to try. They dove right in and I ordered a bag. They come running and stand by their buckets when I call them. They"re looking great and i'm confident they're utilizing their pasture and hay very well. I'd recommend this product to other horse owners.

    My horse won't touch it

    Posted by Nancy on 12th Oct 2015

    Hi there, I was excited to purchase the minerals and put it out free choice for my horse. My friend's horse loved it and would have eaten the entire thing had I let him. The goat also loved it and wouldn't stop eating it. My horse, on the other hand, wants nothing to do it. :( I'm disappointed I spent so much on it for my horse to just ignore it.

    HORSES KNOW BEST

    Posted by Unknown on 15th Sep 2015

    Hiland's arrived, put out in free choice feeder next to my current mineral supplement. Horses lined up to eat the Hilands, never touched the other supplement. Hilands MUST offer something different and necessary for horses, than other "top" brands. Thank you Hilands!
