Anyone used Equinety for navicular?
Im very interested too. Has anyone used it for anything? Ive read rave reviews but bordeline "too good to be true". I ordered some to see if it would help one of my thin soled, but not navicular, horses. |

Could let us know how it worked? I have thin soled horses and I am at my wit's end about getting those soles thicker. |

I have not used it for navicular, but judging on everything else it apparently does it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't help navicular much. The only thing it really did for my horse is helped his gut out a little but I wasn't going to pay $100 a tub just for that. Another person I know used it to help their horse fill out, which I think it did some but it is amino acids so I would expect that. I do not think it is a miracle worker like it advertises. However I only used it on one horse so maybe my horse just didn't need the extra amino acids equinety has. |

| I tried it without any response at all but to be fair she was only slightly responsive to pain meds and injections. I gave it several months. |

| Im going to put my thin soled horse on it and not tell the farrier so sort of a blind scientific experiment :) after a couple of shoeings Im going to see if he notices a difference on his own. If he doesn't then I will ask him if theres any difference. Hes a man of few words so he may not offer anything without me asking. |

          Location: 31 lengths farms | I use it on all of mine. 4 years ago or so I was having issues with abscesses in the winter months, one horse has to have pads and he would get thrush pretty badly and my big mare has some immune issues. Anyway, put them on the Equinity and had not dealt with an abscess or thrush since about midway thru the first jar. Fast forward this winter, like a fool I thought I'd save a few bucks and tried Ex-cell, its supposed to be an Amino Acid type supplement with some of the same claims and $15 cheaper....mid way thru the 2nd jar mare with immune issues popped up with a slight case of laminitis and gelding with pads had thrush and not much hoof growth on anyone. BAck to Equinety we went, about 3/4 of the way thru the first jar and big mare with immune issues is sound again and the gelding with pads just got re-shod last week, no thrush and we have had rain. A friend of mine is FL has a mare that had a soft tissue injury on a hind leg as well as some issues with the hoof on that same leg , she started her on the Equinety last fall I believe after 2 years of her being off and on lame and not being able to ride her at all. She started letting a younger girl trail ride on her in February and so far so good. |

| I have all my horses on it. I've only seen great results with the one that's being rode hard, he's really beefing out. But he has a bad stifle- I'll still need my guys joints injected for the season. Personally, I might switch to something less expensive |

 Location: Indiana | We use Equinety on our horses and have seen a big difference in their soles. It has really helped the soles of their feet in late summer, with all the stomping from the flies. I have also noticed a big difference in my older horse's topline when using it. I have not noticed any difference in my horse's navicular, except the increase in the sole.

          Location: 31 lengths farms | $99 for 90 days? The only thing similar I have found was the Ex-cell which was $85 and month 2 I started having issues with things I hadn't had issues with on the Equinety. If you find something let me know. In the meantime I'm back on the Equinety and things have cleared back up. |
