Beta carotene is antioxidant supplements, known as a ‘pro-vitamin,’ which is a precursor to vitamins. Rather than being a vitamin itself, it converts to significant amounts Vitamin A when absorbed in the human bloodstream. Another benefit beta carotene provides is that it’s an antioxidant, a powerful substance that is used to fight the effect of the free radicals in the bloodstream. Free radicals are those rogue molecules that oxidize the blood in the same way the rust corrodes metal, and they are especially dangerous for your heart’s arteries, good n natural beta carotene http://www.1wallmart.com/category.php?id_category=6

Of course good nutrition is vital for good hooves in horses. Just like its vital for a good hair coat. Though it usually doesn’t get too much mention, people really get into the shod versus barefoot debate and forget to mention nutrition as being key. Of course like the saying goes ” No hoof, no horse.” This applies to all horses, wether barefoot or shod.
