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...

2 years later Jiaogulan still seems to work fine! No more serious bouts of laminitis, maybe just some sensitivity in the spring, when the grass is lush and the feet softer. I also saok my hay in the spring and fall. I just retired her this year, more due to time constraints than due to her health

I am very happy with my purchase of jiaogulan (and spirulina). 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 have been using this product for my senior Appaloosa gelding to help with gaining weight and for reducing pain related to old age. My gelding also has the heaves and an unexpected benefit I noticed this summer is his breathing seems much better. Normally I have to buy additional supplements to help his labored breathing and coughing but haven't had to do that this year and it's been a very humid season so far.

I've tried other products to help my horse with her hind guts problems but this is the one that really helps. I've experiment with others products because I wanted see if the visceral plus was really the thing helping her. And YES! When I stop the visceral plus, the problems slowly begin to come back. Then I start the Visceral plus and just after 1 day, her belly looks less tense and big, she stop being angry when I'm palpating her and the discomfort/pain go away quickly. I've done this experiment 2 times, stop visceral plus and start again, and every time it's the same: the day after the first scoop, she's so much better, belly so much less bloated it amaze me every time! And the pain rapidly vanishing. No need to try and experiment again: I know this is the product for her! Thank you so ...

I have an older gelding that was diagnosed with fecal water syndrome last September, not only did I try every single supplement under the sun in hopes they would help him and none of them did. Last week I decided to give this a try and I will never look back. He has dried up completely and looks so much better. I can’t thank madbarn enough for making such an amazing product!!

Started using it right away so have only been using it for about 3 weeks on my 24 year old Arab gelding. I have noticed his black coat is more shiny. My gelding had no problem with the taste as I mixed it with his senior feed and he licks his feed dish clean smacking his lips, but then again he eats most anything that's put in his feed dish! I purchased it to help with joint issues and so far haven't noticed any changes yet can't be too judgemental after only 3 weeks. The enviro pak wasn't the most user friendly and I ended up pouring it into a plastic gallon water jug instead, but I appreciate the company trying to use environmental friendly packaging. Very pleased there is a company in Canada and the free shipping is a huge bonus; only wish I had heard about Mad Barn before.

My Canadian mare is an easy keeper but started diarrhea and has always had lots of gas. I had the Vet check her and do blood work with concerns always for elevated sugar levels. Blood work was normal. The Vet suggested a probiotic and that Mad Barn was a good product. Mad Barn has no added sugar in any of its products. Bonus. To date my mare has been a little reluctant to eat the Viseral but he staff at Mad Barn were prompt in responding to my concerns of getting the product ingested. I know that my mare has been spoiled with carrots & cracked oats so a little mixture of unsweetened applesauce has helped me win her over. I want this product for the preventive properties that is supported by all the other positive reviews. So on our way from 1 - 5 ? My ratings was for their immediate ...

My mare has been suspected to have [redacted] that led to a recent colic episode earlier this summer. I came across Mad Barn when someone recommended it in a Facebook group. I looked up the research and started my mare on it right away! She’s been on it a month and already showing major improvement. Right before I started her on it she was reluctant to move forward swishing her tail when asked to extend or lope off and now she’s willing extending and loping with no tail swishing! Shipping is fast as well! I can’t say enough good about this product! It’s worth every penny! *** Parts of this review have been redacted to comply with Health Canada Regulations ***

I'm a skeptic. Especially when it comes to supplements for the horses. In my 40 years of owning, riding/driving and showing I've seen a lot of fads come and go, including many that didn't work. In late summer (August) we noticed that the boys had inflamed guttural pouches, were coughing and had thick, white mucus in their nostrils after work. Our vet prescribed a course of anti-histamines and things improved, but as soon as we'd back off the antihistamine, the symptoms would reappear. There had to be a better way to treat than continuing to treat with antihistamines for weeks on end - but what? We follow Dr. Kellon's work so I was surprised when I saw the studies about supplementing with Spirulina - OK, so we've got some science to back this up. We've been off the antihistamines for 6 we...
