I started giving my horse MadBarn Milk Thistle at the beginning of this spring after he foundered late summer the year before. No recurring laminitic episode since, and while I’m not sure how much of that is due to the milk thistle, what has been noticeable is a bog reduction in seasonal allergies. For the first time in 4 years he did not lose hair on his face & stomach this summer, and less prolonged coughing which he’s struggled with during peak pollen times in spring/fall. I feel like the milk thistle is a cost effective piece of his maintenance puzzle.

I bought a Gypsy Vanner 6 YO broodmare in April 2023 and she has struggled in switching over to our Michigan hay and grain (came from Kansas). She became extremely irritable as months went on and had consistent diarrhea, drinking loads of water and salt. Turns out she had minimal handling and skills which only made her more confused and ulcer prone when I started asking basic things from her. After reviewing her previous feeds at her prior home and Tribute feed she was getting here (Essential K) , I noticed the biggest difference was Soy products in Tribute. I pulled her off all Tribute products after speaking/messaging consultation with the wonderful Melissa at MadBarn and we switched her to Omneity Pre-mix and soaked Alfalfa pellets. She has had liquidish poop for SIX MONTHS and today 1...

I purchased a long-yearling filly who upon arriving was going through what I assume was her first heat. She was in agony, she would squeal at anyone that touched her face and nose and was just a witch to be around. (Made me question why I wanted a filly so bad, good thing she is pretty) We worked through that heat while I waited for the Chasteberry to arrive. Well, she just went through her next heat and the difference was crazy! Besides being a little owly, there was no squealing, she wasn't rubbing her butt or peeing all the time. As per other reviews, I did NOT have a tough time getting my filly to eat it. Mixed with Omenity pellets, Alfalfa Pellets and W3 Oil. BUT, the smell of it is kind of off-putting, so I could see if you had a picky eater, you may have to do more to hide it.

After trying two different antihistamines for my pony’s skin allergies I talked to one of Mad Barn’s nutrition experts and they recommend I start him on Spirulina and w-3 oil. The difference between these photos is 2 months. The antihistamines I got from the vet made my pony jumpy and irritable and didn’t stop him from itching the hair off of his face. I started noticing a difference after starting him on Spirulina within one month. His skin is completely back to normal, he itches less, and is his normal self again. 10/10 recommend!

My suspected EMS mare had been on Omneity and when I switched her to AminoTrace+ I saw a difference in a month or two. Her tail is normally lighter and very frizzy/broken at the top even though she never rubs it. The same thing happens with her coat - even though it's shiny she sunbleaches easily and if you look closely you can see broken hairs (she's a chestnut). Not anymore on Amino Trace. I am used to supplements not doing what they claim to do and honestly did not really have high hopes. But it's clear the AT+ is what she needed!

My horse developed Vitiligo around his eyes and muzzle, in just a few short weeks on this supplement there is only one small spot remaining. He also has poor hoof quality so I will be interested to see if that is helped at all.

My horse had [redacted]. We treated with [redacted] for 2 months and the [redacted] went away, but the weird thing is he was still girthy and hated being groomed, would switch his tail and kick out. 1 month on visceral and [redacted], he will stand still for grooming and is no longer girthy. I’m beyond impressed by this supplement. Only down side is that it took him a while to be okay eating it and I had to introduce it extremely slowly. He will be on this supplement for life now! *** Parts of this review have been redacted to comply with Health Canada Regulations ***

I cannot say enough good things about w3. I already enjoyed a variety of Madbarn's products before I started using this, but wanted a better omega 3/6 fatty acid supplement with vitamin E in it. W3 is highly palatable and easy to top-dress over feed- my horse loves this stuff! I have an older mare who doesn't struggle too much with losing weight, but feeding this along with an appropriate ration balancer/triple crown senior has kept my horse in fantastic condition, especially since she's been out of consistent work for a bit. Oil can be messy, but this stuff makes it absolutely worth it (and this stuff smells pretty good too! Kind of like kettle corn?). This is by far one of the best omega fatty supplements on the market and a worthwhile investment for anyone's feeding regimen.
