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...

Amazing result after 2 weeks my 10yo gelding with equine asthma (heaves) is 100% improved! His coughing was so bad this summer I thought he would have to go on steroids but decided to do my research and try this product first. Cannot believe he no longer coughs and is so much more willing to work. Thank you!

My horse was diagnosed with PPID/IR. He was put on Prascend. The vet recommended supplements did not work in the slightest. Total waste of money. A friend told me about https://www.ecirhorse.org/ . They recommend AminoTrace and Vitamin E, Probiotic as part of their diet. I found these products at my local feed store. I started him on June 10. The next day, June 11, there was a noticeable improvement. Now two months later his hooves are growing, his chronic thrush has healed and his energy is coming back so that I have started exercising him!

Great product and my horses love it. For those who had complaints about the packaging, this is no different than purchasing a refill for your laundry soap. Before my first order arrived, I was fully aware of the packaging, so I went over to Canadian Tire and spent $14 on a plastic oil jug that works perfect. It holds 5L, and is very convenient to both use and refill. My horses are on the W3 oil as well other Mad Barn supplements, and all of them have the most amazing coats, along with showing improvement for ailments they've been suffering with. Very pleased with all of the products, not just this oil. On a side note, I also give my pup a tsp of the oil daily and my goodness, does his coat gleam too!!

I have 2 gaited horses, aged 20 and 22, who are doing well on Amino Trace. Both horses are extremely easy keepers who need to be managed with limited access to grass and hay from small hole hay nets. Before using Amino Trace I was experimenting with supplement combinations but I’ve been able to discontinue all of them and just feed AT : much simpler! Also my picky mare will eat it and that is a big plus.

Omneity has been great for my Canadian mare who is the epitome of an easy keeper. She has been on it for 5 months and I'm seeing some amazing results in her coat (dapples and serious shine) as well as in her new hoof growth.

As a veterinarian who specializes in keeping animals healthy with nutrition, I want to feed my horse as naturally as possible. This supplement is a great balance for my horse's forage based diet. The customer service in this company is excellent, as are the quality of ingredients.

My horses love W-3! My 25yr old TB is acting much less stiff and our laminitic/EMS Connemara seems to be doing much better and more comfortable since adding W-3 to their diets. I’ve since started giving it to all my horses! This should be in every horses’ diet!!! Highly recommend!!!

This oil smells like popcorn butter and my picky horse actually likes it! Works wonders for my horse with allergies (heaves). I've noticed an incredible improvement the next day as she wasn't coughing and she was also breathing much better. I highly suggest this oil for horses with allergies/inflammation, it works! Price is also extremely affordable.

I initially bought 2kg bags of this. I live in an area with high iron in the soil, so it's common for our horses to bleach out. I went through this in maybe 6 or 7 months (probably giving a little more than the recommended dose), and I honestly wasn't sure if it had really done anything. And then I clipped him. Holy cow! This was the the 4th year I've clipped him, and he's NEVER looked this good after a full body clip. His coat is so dark and shiny. Everyone keeps asking me what I did and literally adding the zinc copper is the only change I made to his diet. I usually clip him in October every year. First photo is last year. 2nd photo is this year.
