I’ll be honest. I wasn’t a huge believer in supplements. I had gone through a few other brands and not gotten any of the promised results. One day Mad Barn came up during my search and after reading the reviews and knowing they had a 60 day guarantee I figured I might as well give it a try. All I can say is holy sh*t!!! After about 40 days on 100ml of the W-3 supplement my 19 year old mare is running around and bucking like a foal!!! I literally have NEVER seen her buck or rear and now she looks like she’s living her best life out in the pasture. To give you a better idea, before this oil, my mare was in bad shape. As soon as our winters start setting in and the temp drops she gets EXTREMELY stiff. In fact she was getting so bad I had a vet recommended putting her down, but I just couldn’...

I can’t say for certain that the Jiaogulan and Spirulina I’m feeding is having any positive effect but I like the concept of it so will continue to feed it. Overall, her energy levels are up but it may be to the overall MadBarn diet I am feeding her (timothy cubes, beet pulp, spirulina, jiaogulan, AminoTrace+ and w-3 oil). It smells absolutely awful (like a swamp) so I imagine most horses wouldn’t eat it if not soaked with other food. I mix 2 scoops in 6 cups of water with 1/2 lb Timothy cubes and 1/4 lb beet pulp. My mare is also testing higher in selenium than she ever was (she notoriously tested low) since feeing AminoTrace+ and spirulina which is supposed to have selenium in it too. I never noticed any difference in her allergies being on spirulina.

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.
