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...

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...

I have been feeding Amino Trace for some time now. My nineteen year old Canadian mare looks fantastic. Her feet are in excellent shape. I feed it twice a day mixed with a small amount of soaked alfalfa cube, and a probiotic. Palatability has never been a problem. I started off with a very small amount mixed with a bit of the ration balancer she was accustomed to, and gradually increased the Amino Trace until I was feeding the recommended amount and dropped the ration balancer . My small donkey was another story. He is a much more selective eater, so I resorted to moistening it with a very small quantity of FlaxAppeal and a little bit of chopped carrot....and bingo, that did the trick! Now they both look forward to their "nummies" with great anticipation. It is great so have access to su...

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 ...
