Hi Janet, wonderful to see your mare running around on that video. She looks good and strong. See what you can do about getting mare colostrum from some milk bank - there are some. I used to donate co

I'm thinking of trying ALCAR to help my DSLD mare for neuropathic pain. What would be the dosage for 900-1000 lbs? ForagePlus says 10 grams for 500 kg horse. Feed with alpha lipoic acid?
