| I have an eight year old gelding that really needs to be bulked up. We've had him on Platinum Performance for a while, and it worked great while he was lame, but now that he's back to competing, the pounds are falling off. Any suggestions? |

| I have a mare that's lean built and always seemed on the thin side to me. two years ago I put her on THE muscle mass. It's made a huge difference, so much so that I started another mare of mine on it last year. She wasn't as lean but pretty narrow. It has helped her bulk up a lot too. |

I am a free choice hay advocate if at all possible. 2 flakes morning & night (what a lot feed) is really not enough to keep the belly happy. They develop ulcers and then a host of other issues. I like the hay blend you mentioned. If you want to feed a grain, I would maybe try the Senior Active. I really like it for those of mine that do get grain. THE Muscle Mass is great for adding lean muscle and filling one out. You get the vitamines required without having to up their grain. It has a money back guarantee, but most that try it, LOVE it. |

Location: south GA | I like a couple above also use THE Muscle Mass. I have a mare that I could never get over a weight plateau until I put her on MM. Tried lots of other things, but nothing worked like MM. It also helps with stamina and recovery time. Liked the results so much that I became a distributor. |

Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | I do, I need updated ones as she looks even better now. The September pic is after we've been running all year so she was in shape and running. December we had been off since October and I live in North Dakota.
She did have a history of allergies, but Cur-OST has done wonders for her

How do you keep them from getting over weight by feeding like this? |

Horses are designed to have a constant source of forage in front of them. Most horses will not become overweight, especially performance horses that are being exercised regularly. If you do happen to have an overly easy keeper and it's staying too fat, you can use a slow feeder hay net to slow down consumption. |

I ride them. I don't believe in regulating their weight by decreasing feed. I do use a slow feed hay net if they are in the corral, but the ones in the pasture eat most all day and don't get overly obese. If they are competition horses, they should be rode enough to keep them in shape...in turn they will need all the calories they can get. |

| Very rarely do I buy horses but when I do they have all been on someone else's program where they were fed twice daily. As soon as I ge them they eat every last morsal of forage. I just keep grass hay in front of them. It doesn't take long for them to realize that with me they will always have hay so most graze a little here and there and it takes all day for them to clean up what they have. It reactivates that grazing instinct. |

Location: NE Texas | I'm a Cur-OST fan as well. My horse was very, very sick despite having treated him every which way possible for about 4 months. These pictures are 30 days apart. The only changes from the first picture to the second picture are we took him off all medications and started the Cur-OST products based on Dr. Schell's suggestions. New horse in 30 days and went from a horse we were considering euthanizing to a horse I was back to running once I got him fit.

Thank you. He's a turd, but he's my turd and i'm sure happy he's still here annoying me every day! This is at 6 months on the program. I changed to whole oats, BOSS, and alfalfa at about day 45 so as to clean up the diet completely and remove any contributors to inflammation and he just bloomed again. I only feed a half scoop of whole oats with a cup of BOSS once a day, alfalfa twice a day. It's amazing that when the gut utilizes everything the horse consumes how well the do on so much less!
