I also really like Bar F Splint Boots. The leather splints last FOREVER. Keep dirt out and keeps legs supported. | |

| Sore no more performance liniment and BOT wraps... I use the BOT back brace on myself and works miracles on my lower back pain. I'm not sure why or how but it just does! My husband hurt his lower back and I put it on him for an hour and he was amazed at the difference. Love my BOT | |

Location: Illinois | MVP Exceed 6-Way and Gastro-Plex. Proof of the Exceed came from my vet when he pulled the joint fluid out, it used to be very little, thin, and basically water consistency which is bad. He's been on various supplements for years, none improving his fluid. This year at age 18 after being on Exceed for just under a year, his fluid was perfect and there was more. My injections were also 15 months old and I usually can't make it a full year. My vet was seriously impressed and said he's going to start recommending it. Same horse also had gate issues for years, even tried to climb up onto the hood of a truck by the gate to get away, ran people over, cut/hurt himself, & took me straight out of the building twice. Nothing worked, $2,000 of omeprazole a year, OxyMax, SmartGut, Aloe Juice, Maalox, and about 5 others tried with no improvement at all. Gave him the Gastro-plex paste at a race a company rep was at and cut my gate issues in half. So I thought, so far thats the best result I've gotten in just under 5 years. So I got a week worth of omeprazole and gave that while starting the Gastro-Plex pellets and I have made it this whole year with no gate issues except one race, the place he used to take me out of the building. And all he did was stop short of the gate and stood like a statue for maybe 5 seconds and then rocketed off. So for me that is proof and with the reputation we had gotten from the gate, everyone has asked me all year and adding the 2 MVP supplements are the only things that have changed. I had 2 runs not get taped because my videographer wasn't prepared and had expected my usual 2-3 minute delay to get in.
Side note too, I think its hard to say the something is in FACT proven, because not every supplement, remedy, treatment, therapy, etc is going to work for every horse. The things that I've tried and didn't work might have worked a miracle on other horses. You have to find what works specifically for each particular horse. For me Exceed has shown me a difference in some way on 2/3 of my horses, the 3rd I just got and she's 3 so I don't expect to visually see a lot of difference in her. My 24 year old on it moves better, he doesn't act like he's got razor blades in his joints anymore. He actually runs a bit and plays with the younger ones. He's also on Gastro-plex and his cribbing has cut down considerably. So for me it's things like that, that makes me know things are working, especially when nothing else has changed | |
