I know you have probably posted this before, but I am going to ask for your expert advice again... How many tea-or tablespoons equate to the proper amount of mag ox to feed as a maintenance/preventative (it's 2 oz.-right?) Also, I have recently read that we should be careful about feeding glucosimine to our potential IR horses - what do you think? Would just plain old MSM be better?
THANKS! And hope you are doing alright with the snow - we have 6 foot drifts in northern VA~

Remission is ok if you want to spend that much on Magnesium. You could get a 50# bag of Magnesium/Oxide at the feed store for less than $10 which would last you years. You wont know what you need to add mineral wise until you test your hay.
