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 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 ...

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 started feeding Mad Barn vitamin E and W-3 Oil for my 17 year old stallion last year and it made a real different in Breeding season. This last year I bought a foal over the internet with great breeding for working cow horse was super excited to go out to Alberta and pick him up at 6 months old only to get there and see he was in horrible shape. We put him in the trailer and headed home to BC. The foal was so weak he curled up in the deep sawdust in the trailer and sleep the 8 hours home. I called my vet right away and he came out and did bloodwork. His Blood-work came back that he was anemic, he was also infested with worms. We started him on VitB 12 shots, safeguard wormer 5 days in a row and added W-3 Oil and Vit E from Mad Barn to his grain and here he is in the pictures the day I go...

My 4 year old TB mare came into more consistent and goal-focused work this spring. She is an overthinker and aims to be a few steps ahead (figuratively and speed-literally). She is also an opinionated four year old mare and likes her personal space. After preventatively treating for [redacted] early this year before increasing the work load, we added visceral to her daily dietary intake and she has demonstrated a noticeable change in her overall comfort, consistency in (less than before) attitude and most notably, her work tolerance has increased. She always got a mini-meal prior to work to ensure an empty stomach would not contribute to work limitations however, she no longer shows symptoms of physical discomfort, oversensitivity to leg aids or general crankiness throughout her workou...

Found this product very helpful for my Cushings gelding in conjunction with pergolide. As an aside I tried it on a retired mare we have here that suffers from Hyoercementosis & has lost several of her incisors. She seemed really interested in the geldings feed, so I tried her with one scoop per day. Within a couple of weeks I saw a marked improvement in her gums & she hasn’t had any more trouble with her incisors. She is now able to eat from a slow-feeder haynet without difficulty, previously her incisors would cause her discomfort. She has been on chasteberry for 8 months with no further trouble with her teeth. This is a huge relief as the vet’s prognosis was that she would need all of her incisors removed, which was not something the owner or myself were comfortable with. Not sur...
