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.

While the majority of the analysis seems in order I have concerns about the ESC and Starch values because they are done by NIR and not wet chemistry - as was discovered when reading the sample submission form. The advertising on the Mad Barn website gave me the initial impression that the entire testing was done by wet chemistry as there is no listing of NIR in the advertising of the forage analysis product . ESC and Starch is specifically listed under a Wet Chemistry description. I have a laminitic horse and the sample came back with seemingly ’to-good-to-be-true’ values for the ESC and starch content. (Below 10%). With her health hanging in the balance I’m not confident that NIR ESC & Starch is giving me the best information to work with. I do not grow my own hay and cannot be sure of t...

My vet recommended to feed an Omega 3 oil to one of our ponies with heaves and itchy skin. I'm feeding it to all 4 of our ponies now, and they all love it. I love the smell of it, too! I have a suggestion for the packaging issue: if you offered a hard container that the pouch fits into, similarly to the jugs for milk bags, the difficulty that some people experience with pouring may be remedied. I'm using a 5L feed bucket and it works okay, but a jug that is a bit taller and designed for the pouch would work even better!

My mare has been on this supplement for 2.5 months now and wow, all the changes I'm seeing really tell me this product works! She has dapples all over her abdomen, shoulder, neck - she's never had dapples before! She has a nice shiny coat and better mane/tail growth too. She also has fast, healthy hoof growth, and she's healing much faster when getting a scrape out in the field. I love these products because they're a low cost for really good, effective quality. Mad Barn's products are no-nonsense, no-fillers, just quality ingredients chosen from extensive research. I've finally found a horse supplement company that I can actually trust.

Recently my daughter was given a 10 yr old Appaloosa, she has hind gut ulcers, I am going to say “almost” colicked 2x within a week. Did some research, bugged Scott and the MadBarn team a lot and decided on ODH. Now Miss Autumn would not touch her beet pulp/alfalfa cubes with the 5 or 6 pellets I put in her feed., This horse is the pickiest eater ever,, we tried apple sauce, molasses, everything we ended up syringing the pellets after soaking them for 3 minutes in hot water for 2 days. The next day she gobbled them up in there feed and the change is absolutely 100% amazing, This is a completely different horse, I have videos and pictures to prove this change in Autumn.

If the description of this product matches your goals then I recommend it, but consider repackaging it once you have received it. I noticed an improvement in the coats of my two horses but it was difficult to get them to eat it. I had to add other enticing elements to get them to eat their soaked grain with this in it. The packaging is a tall resealable bag where the product settles to the bottom causing you to have to reach in and get your hands/clothes covered in the product. It doesn't brush off easily, I have to wash it off. I put mine into a shallow, wide-mouthed container and kept the scoop outside of it to reduce the amount of messy transfer. If you or your horse are sensitive to dust in the air, I recommend taking precautions. It plumes into the air easily when slightly agitated an...

My mare was unfortunately diagnosed with EPM and was recommended by my vet to give her 10,000 IU/day of Natural Vitamin E to help her during treatment. I found it difficuly to find an affordable Natural Vitamin E supplement without added selenium in Canada. But luckily Mad Barn had what I needed, at a fantastic price and my mare is showing improvements since being on their product. I will 100% recommend Mad Barn products to anyone and will be purchasing more supplements from them in the future!

I started using Omneity in October for my weanlings to aged broodmares and small pony. All the horses look incredible, they have excellent weight, their coats are soft and healthy, tails are growing so thick and full and their feet are fantastic. Excellent product that compliments my horses hay and feed (Crimped oats, shredded plain beetpulp, ground flax seed and salt).

I ordered Mad Barn’s chasteberry for my pony with PPID, who’s ACTH levels remains stable on his regular prascend dose. My reason for supplementing with chasteberry this year (as well as his regular prascend dose) was to see if it would help in his spring shedding. Last Spring, despite having been on prascend since the previous early Fall, with a six month post ACTH level check (stable), it took him until June to completely shed out. His ACTH retest in September showed his levels remaining stable . This February I added chasteberry to his diet as well, and by early March he started shedding at the same pace as his equine companion without PPID.

My warmblood mare was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome last year after developing winter laminitis. Xrays confirmed she had mild rotation in both front hooves. I highly recommend the Mad Barn nutrition analysis, the information their team provided has been key in helping her recover. One of the recommendations was Jiaogulan. With the approval of my vet, we started using this herb and within a few weeks I began noticing positive changes in the hoof wall and the white line of her hooves. 9 months later her hoof walls are normal again and she is sound and comfortable. She is also on Amino Trace, in conjunction with the other individual recommendations made for her, and is looking better than she ever has. Thank you to the Mad Barn Team!!
