As many people in the horse business know, we were in the breeding and showing
business for many years. For many of those years, we searched for horse minerals
that really worked, that horses would eat and were affordable for the average
horse owner.Several years ago, we were fortunate to find some extremely
qualified people to assist us in putting together our own minerals. When we put
these minerals together, we didn’t intend to market them commercially; they were
just to be fed to horses at our place. As our customers came to pick up their
mares, they were pleased with the excellent condition of their horses. When we
explained that it was because of the minerals we used, our customers wanted the
same product to use at home. Lorne & Marion Hoffman

Improvement in hoof quality
Our shoer told us our horses have the
healthiest hooves of any he does.
Improved coat
Our senior stallion, Skip Zan Parr, had
a hair coat that easily sun burned in the summer. Once we started feeding him
our minerals, we could leave him without a summer sheet and his coat glowed. We
would never show again without this positive benefit. Following our stallion
dispersal, people called wanting to know how we got the shine on our studs.
Because the sale was right at the end of the breeding season, those stallions
didn’t get much extra care but they did get their minerals each day.
Ideal for older horses
We have found that Hoffman’s Horse Minerals are
great for old and/or arthritic horses. It limbers them up and helps them utilize
their food better so that they gain in conditioning. Therefore it enables older
performance horses to stay sound longer.
P.M.U. operators see benefits
A P.M.U. barn operator said the sludge in
his tanks was greatly reduced once he started using Hoffman mineral.
Reduced ulcers and nasal bleeding
Statistics say that 80% of race horses
get ulcers and often race horses will bleed from the nose. Race horse owners
report a great improvement with both of these problems after feeding Hoffman's
Horse Minerals.
Reduced muscle tie-up
Horses that have muscle tie-up benefit greatly
from being on our mineral and show marked improvement or complete relief.
Improved breeding
We A.l’d in breeding season and noted a marked
improvement in sperm density, motility and volume in our old stallion. While we
didn’t monitor the young stallions as closely, we did note an increase in volume
there as well. We feel it would be quite helpful for any breeding stallion to be
on Hoffman’s Horse Minerals.
Easier to get in foal
We found that when breeding the brood mares on
Hoffman’s Horse Minerals they had stronger, more consistent heat cycles and,
therefore, were easier to get in foal.
Improved bone structure
Colts on Hoffman’s Horse Minerals are born with
less leg problems and continue to develop bone structure better if both they and
their mommas are fed the minerals. Foals tend to be growthier as well.
Easier foaling
One of our customer's mares who always needed assistance
foaling foaled easily after spending the winter on our mineral
More stamina and energy
Working horses have more stamina and energy.
When starting a young horse, we advise cutting back on grain rations because the
chelated mineral will make a lot more of the nutrients available to the horse's
system. This makes it seem that you are feeding your horse a third more grain.
Veterinarian-recommended
Our horse vet uses Hoffman’s Horse Minerals and
recommends it for certain problems she encounters in her customers’ horses.
