I searched previous post but most of them talked about using it for allergies/IAD, etc...
Can anyone share their story using the products for lameness? Whether it be joint/soft tissue/laminitis/navicular,etc...??
I was just given a gelding with cartilage damage in his right front ankle that he had surgery on. The guy who had was a team roper and felt like he was just off, you can kind of see it in videos, at the trot so he wanted a good home for him that would not use him for roping or barrels. He was slightly off when I got him, 8 months after the surgery. I contacted Dr. Schell and he recommended trying EQ Plus first and we could go from there. Well, 2 months later and with his wedge shoes pulled and barefoot, he is sound at the trot. That is the only thing he is on except for Forco and a vitamin/mineral supplement. I don't think I will change from the EQ Plus unless something changes.
I also have a horse with a small spur on the back of his hock. I feed him the Pure and Nourish per Dr. Schell's recommendation and he is doing fine to, but I haven't put on the barrels yet because I need to get him in shape.

My 24 (22 at the time) was suffering from severe arthritis. He was 3 legged lame for several weeks the summer before I started Cur-OST. He was injected in his stifles and hocks in August 2015 and put on daily previcox and was still barely able to walk. He was depressed and never ran around playing like he always had. I started Cur-OST in mid December 2015 and by early January he was starting to act more like himself and by the end of January I had my playful gelding back. He is now maintained on Tumeric as of this January as I can't afford Cur-OST on both my horses while I am in school, he also gets a few other herbs to help his IR.

My 25 year old would get stiff, and the farrier was noticing it more in his hind fetlocks. He would barely trot around in the pasture or to his stall anymore. Started him on Cur-OST Plus and he is a new man! Runs around like a freak, trots to his stall for dinner and looks fantastic.
