What is Magnesium for Horses?
Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a key role in several physiological processes, including muscle contraction, nerve function, bone health, and energy metabolism. It also helps in maintaining calm behaviour, making it a useful mineral for horses prone to stress or anxiety.
Many horses’ diets are deficient in magnesium, especially if their forage lacks sufficient levels. Forageplus Ultra-Pure Magnesium Oxide provides a pure source of magnesium, ensuring your horse’s needs are met.
How Much Magnesium Should I Feed My Horse?
Supplementation needs depend on factors like your horse’s activity level, age, and overall diet. For an average 500kg horse, we recommend 1 x 25ml scoop per day (approx. 23g, providing 13.8g of elemental magnesium), unless otherwise indicated by a forage analysis.
- Pregnant, lactating, young horses, and those in moderate to heavy work will need higher amounts of magnesium.

We do not stock magnesium chloride because it is less palatable and you would have to feed 5 times more chloride than oxide to get the same elemental magnesium supplementation.
We carefully select only the finest magnesium oxide products, as your horse’s health is our top priority. The magnesium oxide we sell separately and use in our balancers is of human pharmaceutical grade, ensuring the utmost safety and efficacy for your horse.
Free from any prohibited substances as defined under Jockey Club and FEI rules.
Forageplus does not advise the feeding of separate minerals unless levels have been checked by carrying out a forage analysis. The ratios of minerals are important and feeding one mineral without supplementing correct levels of another can be detrimental to horse health. If you are uncertain of mineral levels then feeding either a Forageplus Equine Balancer or carrying out analysis of forage is wise.

Probably the best Mg Ox product on the market – especially due to the low iron content. I feed speedibeet as a carrier which I am led to believe is realtively high in iron, so I like to know I’m not adding more in yet again!

My pregnant mare does really well on this supplement. Reassuring to know it is low in iron. Palatable, all of the forage plus products seem palatable as I have a fussy mare and she eats it all!

I bought this for my two metabolic companions but added it to my riding horse’s feed too. My rides are so much calmer now!
Win, win!!

Like all FP products, the low iron magnesium is excellent quality and easy to order. All orders delivered in superquick time. My horses all look great on thoughtful nutrition.
Kelly Elliott (verified owner) –
This is a great supplement for the hotter horses as it keeps them more laid back at home and out at events or arena hires when fed consistently in their feeds you really notice the difference.

Amazing product my horse wouldn’t be here today without him having this in his feed everyday. In the Spring/Summer time and times of high sugar in the grass I increase the amount he has. He is now able to go out hacking in the woods and walks everyday on stoney tracks and he’s barefoot. Helps so much with his EMS

I add this product to my ponies feed, I have experimented with removing it and my horses became fizzy & spooky again. Added it again and within a few weeks much more chilled. Also great for the metabolically challenged horses. Great quality.
