The wrapping will drive more into the horse.
100 g would therefore have 60 gm and with the magnesium elemental factor would be about 30gm +/- 10 gm.
100gm of this is about 4 ounces.
The gel base would facilitate absorption too. So this is very concentrated.
Compare to Kirkman cream which is
100mg, / scoop.

Because of that it can sting or burn skin that has cuts or abrasions or is just dry and cracking.
This is highly concentrated therefore. So be careful with it.
You could even dilute it with another lotion or gel.
I'd start with a very small amount, and use it on one leg/foot, for 3 days, and if that works, and you don't have side effects, go with that.
If you have any kidney disease, ask your doctor before using.
Animals often have very different metabolic systems...so while they may use something similar to us, they may require much more or much less of a nutrient than we do. Horses can be over 10 x as heavy as a normal human and require more magnesium than we could tolerate.
