I have 4 ponies ranging in ages from a yearling up to 25 years old. I feed this to all of my guys, and really wanted it for one of my ponies who has terrible feet (always chipping and pulling shoes) and for my older cushings pony as well who is under weight with no topline. I must say it was a bit of challenge to get one of my ponies to eat it. I did try to soak it in his hay cubes, but that resulted in a no go whatsoever - complete with feed tub tipped over. I started at half dose as well and then tried to soak it in molasses beet pulp on top of his grain. He would pick at it at night and eventually finish if by the morning. Its now been 2 months and I have slowly increased it to a regular dose and I can now just toss the pellets in with his grain (no soaking or mixing with beet...

Sophie is a 17 year old chestnut mare that landed in our barn a little over a year ago. She started to have longer and longer heat cycles. It got to the point that her hind end was constantly covered in the black tar like substance that gets left behind with a mare is like this. From just below the dock of her tail to the top of her hocks was sticky stench. We had to bath it off constantly. She stunk and was not pleasant to be around. We could not even take her on a trail ride, if there was a male horse on the ride also. Sophie had to let them know she was a mare by stopping and squirting numerous times along the ride. We pastured the geldings on the other side of the property, but Sophie could not even walk down the shed row past a gelding without stopping and squealing and leaving a disg...

My horse has been on high dose vitamin E for a few years. His blood is checked regularly to confirm the dosage. Before Mad Barn vitamin E was available I was using Elevate E which is a great product but very expensive. Mad Barn vitamin E is equal to or better and is less expensive, especially when having to feed high doses. Love it!

My mare had a laminitic event last Aug.2022 Her coffin bone was mm from going through the sole. I started her on a bare foot rehab. Her feet were not growing. She was already on Spirulina, Three Amigos and Amino Trace+. I added the Jiaogulan. Her feet started growing. I was hand walking her in the soft sand ring for 20min every night. This spring the farrier was shocked at how much sole she had grown. I have seen great results with the jiaogulan. It is an important piece in a complex puzzle. I should add, she is on a dry lot and no feed, just these supplements and she is doing great! I hope to get rads again in Aug to see the changes.

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.

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!!

Didn’t believe this would help my mare at all. I sent her in for training and she was a miserable c u next Tuesday. Trainer suggested we try this for her. We did, and my gosh what a change! If you have a ‘grumpy, miserable mare with a bad attitude, you need to give this a try! I’ve had neighbours comment how she’s a lot friendlier now; to people, and her herd mate. Game changer!

Super Brat will be 24 years old in April 2022. Last summer he lost a lot of weight/muscle due to his summer heaves. As he has PPID with his only visible symptom being loss of topline muscle I had little hope of gaining the weight/muscle back. I started him on Mad Barn's three individual amino acid supplements and Omneity Premix in September. While it took a couple of months for him to really show the weight returning, in December his chiropractor noticed stronger muscling over his loin and hindquarters. A month later the chiropractor said Brat's muscles were even stronger and she had to put a little more effort into the adjustments as there was now something to push against. I have previously tried an amino acids supplement without any noticeable improvement. I am very happy with the res...

I love the Madbarn supplements. My horses receive Omneity, W3 oil, 3 amigos and I also used Amino Traces for one tb who had terrible feet and Visceral for her too, since she was so sensitive and hated to be groomed over her body. After 3 months on Visceral and all these supplements, I see an amazing tranformation in that young tb. Her coat is shining, are feet are finally growing and no longer brittle, and we can actually groom her all over her body without fearing to be kicked! It's a wonderful change. Thank you MadBarn for these supplements. I now switched all my horses to Omneity and W3 oil too. They all have nice shiny coats and strong feet, so I cannot be happier :).

EXCELLENT product. I have a 17 year old tb that’s always been a hard keeper and this made him bulk up in all the right ways. He loves how it tastes too!!! This stuff is liquid gold for sure. The packaging is terrible though. Definitely save a jug to put it into!!
