Does your black horse fade to brown in the summer?

In this episode, April discusses how the color change is likely due to a copper deficiency in the horse's diet. She suggests feeding the horse Dynamite Liquid Trace Minerals once a week to provide the necessary copper and prevent the fading of its black coat.

April also mentions that chestnut horses with burnt-out-looking hair and curled ends may have a copper deficiency as well.

April believes that mineral deficiency can make horses more prone to parasites, so she advises using organic diatomaceous earth and doing fecal counts every two to three months.

Lillian: Hi, this is Lillian. I'm here with April love.

I know a beautiful, beautiful black horse, but in the summertime, he turns to more of a brown color. He just bleaches out. Is there anything we can do to keep him nice and black?

April: So for my clients, when we feed the dynamite liquid trace minerals and their feed once a week, they hold that black color, so it's something in the copper that they're needing that they're not getting, so the black Friesians that don't stay black.

And when my clients give them the dynamite liquid trace minerals in their feed for two or three days in a row, they go back to black and the chestnut horses that have that burnt-out looking hair? That kind of curl looks like little fishhooks. that's a copper deficiency as well.

And those horses are going to be more prone to parasites as well.

So, you can buy feeds that will keep your horse black. You will have shampoos that keep your horse black, but I believe if it's a mineral deficiency and the dynamite liquid trace minerals help that.

That's $30.00 for three months versus, the cost of all the other products that you guys are using.

So, try that first on your black horses, knowing that it strengthens the immune system and my horses help them compete better, seems to help them stay healthier longer.

And when I do my fecal counts, they were always 0, so I did fecal counts and I used organic diatomaceous earth.

The product Excel, that Dynamite has just a teaspoon every day on their feed.

And I would do fecal counts every two to three months, so the combination of the Dynamite Liquid Trace Minerals and the Excel kept them parasite free and my black horses black and my black and white Pinto really strong black and white, with that ribboning you know where the colors meet.

So that's what I would recommend. And if you have a Black Horse, that's what I use.
