Give your horse a solid nutritional foundation without adding a complicated step to the feeding routine. Vita Plus is a balanced multi-vitamin and mineral supplement. It delivers water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, chelated and conventional minerals, and amino acids to fill gaps in the daily diet, and it goes in with a regular grain ration.
Vitamin E and selenium are the antioxidants in the formula. They support cell activity and help protect cell membranes from free radicals. The formula is designed to maintain normal muscle function and support muscle tissue during exercise, which suits the horse working hard in summer heat and the older horse eating less hay.
Highlights
- Fills vitamin and mineral gaps in the daily diet
- Water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins
- Chelated and conventional minerals plus amino acids
- Vitamin E and selenium antioxidants
- Suits horses of all ages, especially mature horses and seniors
- Enclosed scoop for measured daily feeding
What it's for
Hay and grain are the foundation, but they don't always supply every vitamin and mineral a horse needs, especially when hay is short or the pasture has been grazed down. A daily multi-vitamin fills those gaps. It suits the busy working horse, the senior horse whose appetite has slowed, and the young horse in training who needs a steady base.
It is a good fit for the owner who wants one product that covers the basics, rather than a shelf of single-purpose supplements.

How to feed it
The enclosed scoop holds 56 g (about 2 oz.). Amounts are based on a 1,100 lb horse, so weigh or tape your horse before you start.
- For adult horses, feed 2 oz (one scoop) daily with the regular grain ration.
- Or split it: 1 oz (half a scoop) in the morning and 1 oz in the evening.
Good to know
- Use it when hay and grain alone don't cover the vitamin and mineral needs.
- Stir it into the grain ration so the daily amount goes down easy.
- Split the scoop between morning and evening feedings to keep the routine steady.
- Keep the enclosed scoop with the supplement so every feeding stays on measure.
- Weigh your horse with a weight tape now and then, since a horse that is gaining or losing changes what the ration needs.
