Feeding seaweed is a great way to provide natural trace minerals that are often lacking in a horse's normal diet. Seaweed is often fed to maintain normal hoof health as well as to help support skin conditions due to the iodine content. The best seaweed supplement for horses is a natural and rich source with no additives or bulking agents, which is what you'll find in each packet. This ensures that your horse will get the best levels of iodine and trace elements from the seaweed meal that you feed them.
