We have a large show jumping facility in Calgary, Alberta and in a barn of 40 plus horses we always have a few with seasonal coughs. In the past, we have done everything from steamed hay to steroid treatments to keep their coughs to a minimum. With the use of NOCR for those affected by seasonal allergies we don't see any coughing. We are blown away by the effectiveness of this supplement. - Erin Taylor Equestrian Canada High Performance Licensed Coach and owner operator of Ironstone farms

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.

I’ve been using Omneity free choice for many months now. The horses like the taste and I’m very happy that it has no added iron in it. I have high iron water so it’s pretty important I not add any more iron through supplements. I believe my horses would do even better on Aminotrace+ but the cost makes Omneity the right choice for me. Shipping was quick and the product is great. Thanks for making great Canadian products. I’ll be ordering again soon.

Didn’t believe this would help my mare at all. I sent her in for training and she was a miserable c u next Tuesday. Trainer suggested we try this for her. We did, and my gosh what a change! If you have a ‘grumpy, miserable mare with a bad attitude, you need to give this a try! I’ve had neighbours comment how she’s a lot friendlier now; to people, and her herd mate. Game changer!

I have 4 ponies ranging in ages from a yearling up to 25 years old. I feed this to all of my guys, and really wanted it for one of my ponies who has terrible feet (always chipping and pulling shoes) and for my older cushings pony as well who is under weight with no topline. I must say it was a bit of challenge to get one of my ponies to eat it. I did try to soak it in his hay cubes, but that resulted in a no go whatsoever - complete with feed tub tipped over. I started at half dose as well and then tried to soak it in molasses beet pulp on top of his grain. He would pick at it at night and eventually finish if by the morning. Its now been 2 months and I have slowly increased it to a regular dose and I can now just toss the pellets in with his grain (no soaking or mixing with beet...

Peanut has had a history of having poor hoof condition since I purchased him as a 4 year old, 5 years ago. This horse has been on a strict 5-6 week trimming schedule (at one point it was every 3-4) weeks to try and combat the continuous flaring and cracking. By the time 5 or 6 weeks rolled around his feet looked completely neglected... talk about frustrating! In the spring I decided to pull some blood work and a mineral panel. After finding out he was deficient in multiple minerals, Delaneys advised to put Peanut on Mad Barn Mineral- Amino Trace; this would balance the minerals he was lacking. (Just an FYI, the horses were on Hoffman's free choice mineral prior to this). Like myself, if your not knowledgeable on how mineral deficiency can significantly affect the body, I highly recommend...

We recently bought a QH who came with very detailed anti-inflammatory instructions for her feeding, all of which were large name brand products with large name brand prices. We felt the regime would benefit from some simplification. We normally feed ground flax as part of out horses diets but the new horse did not take to this. We looked into flax oil, hemp oil and another highly advertised oil all of which were very expensive, then we remembered that Madbarn also had an omega oil. we feed hay,pasture, flax seed, Omeity pellets and now to our horses, and now W-3 oil. They have strong, feet, shining coats and bright dispositions. We are super happy with this product, plus it smells great, and tastes mild but delicious - yes I tried it!

My two Thoroughbred Makeover Project horses (the bay dragons) have been on the Visceral supplement for two months now and both have had marked visible and temperamental improvements. The gelding's body condition has been improving and his cribbing has decreased. The mare, who was starting to show indications of [redacted] issues - grouchy girth moments and sensitivity when brushing chest and barrel - is giving me less and less cranky-mare face moments when grooming, tacking up and riding. I have been administering the Visceral as a top dressing with their soaked beet pulp meals and the pellets are the first thing they go for. I am transitioning both of them over to the Optimum Probiotic product from the Visceral . They also receive the Omneity Premix for their minerals/vitamins along with ...

My 27yr old mare with cushings and likely some arthritis always struggled in the winter. I started her with SmartEarth Camelina oil and yes it made a difference, but not compared to the W3 oil! She's like a 10yr old mare again. She looks and feels great, more energy, no laminitis, and she LOVES the taste. Stands there licking her bucket. Highly suggest this product

My horse was diagnosed with PPID/IR. He was put on Prascend. The vet recommended supplements did not work in the slightest. Total waste of money. A friend told me about https://www.ecirhorse.org/ . They recommend AminoTrace and Vitamin E, Probiotic as part of their diet. I found these products at my local feed store. I started him on June 10. The next day, June 11, there was a noticeable improvement. Now two months later his hooves are growing, his chronic thrush has healed and his energy is coming back so that I have started exercising him!
