My vet recommended an Omega 3 oil for one of our ponies with heaves and itchy skin. I feed Omneity to all my ponies, and I'm super happy about that product, so I ordered your Omega3 oil, too. The product arrived within 3 days of ordering and I started the pony on a small amount to get him used to the new smell/taste, and increased to 100ml per day. He loves it. Now I'm feeding it to all 4 ponies, and they all love it, too. I put the bag into a 5L feed bucket and pour into a measuring cup. The bucket works okay, but something a bit taller and shaped like the bag would work better. If you're looking for a way to improve the packaging I have a suggestion: with the first order you could offer a plastic container with a handle where the bag fits in snugly, same principle as the jug for milk bag...

I have just started with this suppliment. Only on my second bucket (2 horses on it). I am very hopeful that is will be helping my horse with laminitis and all the ups and downs with that. It really is a roller coaster ride. My farrier will be paying attention to his hooves to see if he can tell a difference too. I will update as I can on what my results will be. Personally I wish you offered a discount for the people that would be on a routine order. If you have customers that routinely use your product, offer them the best deal on it!

My horse has had a sensitive stomach since I bought him two years ago. Loose stools, fecal water, etc. We tried various medications, supplements, and feeding approaches and he improved a bit, but he was never totally fine. But also not so bad that it seemed like a super serious situation. He’s also always been a bit spooky. Then, last winter he was diagnosed with [redacted] and was so spooky and reactive that he became dangerous, to the point where he had to be on ace just to stay safe sometimes. After a month and a half of [redacted], the [redacted] improved significantly. His behavioural symptoms also improved, but he was still quite jumpy. I thought that’s just how he is. I lost all my confidence riding and even handling him and began to wonder if he would do better with a different o...

My beloved quarter horse Cherry was exhibiting the worst Cushing symptoms I have ever seen and laminitis was stealing her quality of life. We are blessed with an incredible farrier who collaborated with our vet to buy me enough time to pull out all of the stops. Relying on the farrier/vet tx, ECIR resources and the science of Mad Barn we saw her life saved!! It is not hyperbole--this horse had a dismal prognosis and now I have my wonderful girl back. SHE DID NOT LIKE THE PELLETS AT ALL, but after hand feeding them to her, sprinkling them on her soaked hay and doing anything and everything to get them into her, she consumes them twice daily with no issue. If I could I would give Mad Barn all of the stars....all of them!

Great product and my horses love it. For those who had complaints about the packaging, this is no different than purchasing a refill for your laundry soap. Before my first order arrived, I was fully aware of the packaging, so I went over to Canadian Tire and spent $14 on a plastic oil jug that works perfect. It holds 5L, and is very convenient to both use and refill. My horses are on the W3 oil as well other Mad Barn supplements, and all of them have the most amazing coats, along with showing improvement for ailments they've been suffering with. Very pleased with all of the products, not just this oil. On a side note, I also give my pup a tsp of the oil daily and my goodness, does his coat gleam too!!

2020 was a poor hay year for my area. Yield was low and quality lower than normal. Mad Barn's Omneity kept my horse healthy and in good condition through the winter without the need to increase his normal feed to compensate for the lower quality hay. I accidentally ordered this product when intending to reorder the Omneity pellets. I decided to try it and as it turns out my horse is happier eating the powder mixed with his feed than he was with the pellets.

I am very happy with my purchase of spirulina (and jiaogulan). I was a first time user on my mare that has suffered from seasonal heaves for several years. I normally treat her with prednisolone and ventipulmin, and she's usually on the medications from the time it warms up in the spring until the start of summer (March/April to about June). This year, I did start her on prednisolone when her heaves started but I also decided to start her on spirulina and jiaogulan. I had her off the prednisolone within two weeks and her breathing on the spirulina and jiaogulan was BETTER than I'd ever heard it while on the medications. If I didn't know better I'd have thought she didn't have heaves. I'm 100% sold on these products.

Amazing result after 2 weeks my 10yo gelding with equine asthma (heaves) is 100% improved! His coughing was so bad this summer I thought he would have to go on steroids but decided to do my research and try this product first. Cannot believe he no longer coughs and is so much more willing to work. Thank you!

My warmblood mare was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome last year after developing winter laminitis. Xrays confirmed she had mild rotation in both front hooves. I highly recommend the Mad Barn nutrition analysis, the information their team provided has been key in helping her recover. One of the recommendations was Jiaogulan. With the approval of my vet, we started using this herb and within a few weeks I began noticing positive changes in the hoof wall and the white line of her hooves. 9 months later her hoof walls are normal again and she is sound and comfortable. She is also on Amino Trace, in conjunction with the other individual recommendations made for her, and is looking better than she ever has. Thank you to the Mad Barn Team!!

Was a little skeptical after trying so many different products ( herbs, cough syrups.. etc..) and spending a *** load of money on them over the past 5 years for my Arabs winter dry cough.. So when I stumbled across Spirulina I thought this is the product I'll try this winter. Totally love the product!! Amazed I finally found something that actually worked...Just wished I had stumbled across it a few years ago.. Boi is on his 2nd bag, I give him 20grams morning and night mixed with plain beet pulp, W3 oil and omneity. Definitely 5 stars.
