A broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement formulated for the horse or pony in light-to-moderate work. A high fibre diet is natural to the horse, mimicking the continual grazing that his gut evolved to thrive on. Fibre provides slow release energy, ideal for maintaining condition. For this reason, many leisure horses will receive adequate energy for work and to maintain condition from grazing and forage alone. However, fibre alone is unlikely to provide all the micro-nutrients required for health and vitality. Vitamins and minerals are particularly likely to be low in preserved forage, such as hay or haylage, and where grazing is less than optimum, such as closely grazed paddocks, fast growing grass and in areas of high rainfall. General Purpose Supplement provides a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals for health and vitality. Designed to complement the high fibre, low concentrate diet, General Purpose Supplement is ideal for all horses and ponies receiving less than manufacturer’s recommended rates of hard feed.

"I’ve had my horse on your General Purpose Supplement for just over 3 weeks now and all I can say is 'wow'!
I initially put him on this as my farrier said he wasn’t growing a lot of hoof and advised putting him on a supplement to encourage foot growth. I’m usually quite sceptical about using supplements as there are a lot around and would be concerned that they are financial gain for the businesses without actually doing a lot for the horse. I spent a week researching what supplement I wanted to use and decided to go for the one with the best reviews (your General Purpose Supplement).
I’m so impressed with it already! My horse hasn’t looked so good! His coat is shining, his feet are healthy and his mane has finally started to grow back after a winter of rubbing it! Your supplement is very good value for money and I really cannot say how amazing I’m finding it!!"
"My favourite NAF product is the General Purpose Supplement because I love the fact that it gives them the vitamins and minerals they need and just simply goes into their feed."
Queensdale Red Pennant Red is a brilliant pony when he is not bucking with me! He is a nine year old Welsh x Show Pony. I have had him since he was six months old. He can jump 2.3ft, he is a home produced lead rein pony and he is starting to do Dressage. A couple of weeks ago we started feeding him General Purpose Supplement - he looks and feels great!

Micky, a 138cm showjump pony owned by Polly Smith Micky has lots of character, he is very cheeky and gets easily attached to my other ponies. He can be a bit of an attention seeker when he wants to be. To keep him happy and quiet, I give him NAF Minty Treats which he loves so much, he will try his best to get one. To keep him looking and feeling his best, we also feed him NAF General Purpose Supplement. Thanks so much NAF!
Bandit a 15.2hh, 7 year old Dutch Warmblood owned by Holly Pomeroy. When Holly purchased Bandit, he had a very dull coat and was overweight. Holly immediately put him on a diet, but struggled with his feeding. He then had to be admitted to Liphook Equine Hospital with digestive issues. After being carefully nursed back to health his feed was changed to Alfalfa with NAF General Purpose Supplement. Says Holly "As well as making his coat very shiny, it helps support his immune system. The supplement gives him all the vitamins and minerals he needs to be a healthy happy horse, essential for a career in dressage!"
