I've had great success using spirulina for horses with seasonal allergies & mild breathing issues. We have roughly 6 horses in the barn on the product now, they all eat it without a problem. None have had any issues with being fussy/not eating their grain. Definitely recommend! My only suggestion is better packaging as it can be a bit messy to scoop.

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!!

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...

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...

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 ...

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 ***

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.
