Product Review (submitted on July 17, 2017):

Started to feed this to my gelding 6 weeks ago whom had been wrong for nearly a year. - all sorts of issues ranging from Intermittent hind leg lameness, went from ability to do a 23 dressage to unable to school, hated transitions esp upwards would pin ears back and kick out, could not use his core and be soft and round through his lumber spine, esp right rein, hated canter, so spooky just horrid to ride and rushed along in trot strong and heavy in the hand hacking. As a home bred I knew so well these were all totally out of character. Also more tricky to handle biting at things all the time, aggressive to others in the field and would lie down all the time in the stable, picky over food. He scoped 100% clear fore gut so went for hind gut treatment with this product plus boosted his amino acids, Vit E, selenium, calcium/magnesium and high protein to help his muscle function. Well all I can say is 6 weeks down the line I have the horse we used to know back and are now daring to think he will be at an event again in the Autumn - nearly a year on from when it all went wrong. Highly recommend this product if hind gut ulcers are suspected. The conclusion I have is that his hind gut started to stress as we competed him esp staying away for a two day event in the heat and then he lost the ability to absorb the amino acids and vitamins he needed for muscle function and was not being fed enough (generally a good doer who you would not feed max amounts of performance feeds to) to replace his requirement needed as he continued to compete until we had a total stress of poor muscle function in turn stressing the hind gut more so a horrid inner turning circle. There had been no real reason to suspect anything wrong before his final event the day after which he was unridable apart from in retrospect he started tossing his head when asked to use his back in dressage and rushing his fences in SJ more than he had done in the past.
