| Has anyone used THE products, specifically the Muscle Mass? I have a 9 year old mare that's a hard keeper and unenthusiastic eater and would like to see her a bit heavier/ fuller. She's currently eating 4 pounds of chopped alfalfa, 1 pound rice bran pellets, flax seed, B 12, (to encourage her appetite)and coastal hay. It takes her 24 hours to eat what my other horses clean up in 30 minutes. |

| I'm a firm beleiver in THE Muscle Mass! It's replenished and kept my 23yo appendix geldings Shark fin from becoming a retirement issue! He was losing his topline in dramatic fashion. I couldn't really ride him bareback at all, and even with a 1 inch bareback pad it was uncomfortable.
Now I can ride him bareback without anything! Good stuff! |

| I use THE on all three of mine. My older gelding (27 years old) and a hard keeper has been on THE MM with 4 blends probably about 3 years now. It has kept him in GREAT shape but I also add Purina Amplify to his. The other two easy keepers are on THE Performance with 4 blends. I also give my mare the calming cookies because she can be a witch to the older guy. Seems to help some. |

| I personally didn't have good luck with THE products. Have you considered ulcers at all? My horse was an unenthusiastic eater and a hard keeper, showed no other signs of ulcers. I treated him with omeprazole and hes been great since, going on 2 years with no issues. |

You may want to try treating for ulcers? I have an unenthusiastic eater as well. She drives me nuts, but I generally have to treat her for ulcers every couple of years. She free feeds off of alfalfa pellets all day long, I try to keep her on a low NSC diet for ulcer prevention.
I do use THE. They have GastroPlus to treat ulcers, and then you can do an additive to the Muscle Mass for an ulcer preventative. I use MM on my young show horses. I saw a big increase in muscle and overall weight on my lean appendix mare. Wyoming Barrel Racer is having a sale on THE right now until the end of the year! She's great to work with, PM her! |

I think the GastroPLUS would be the way to go now to increase the appetite and it will also help with overall appearance. It's a complete supplement. I am having a December Customer Appreciation sale with 20% off |

I’ve had my “unenthusiastic” eater on Gastroplus for eight days and have already noticed a big increase in appetite! Happy so far! |

Location: North Dakota | I have been using T.H.E. Muscle Mass for the past few years on my guys. They don't need any extra weight (easy keepers), but I do it because I do a custom blend with inflammatory and joint support. And I like that they are getting their little serving of vitamins and minerals. |

| Do you think the 30 day supply of Gastro Plus would be enough that I could see a difference in my mare's appetite?

| Did not have any positive results from THE products.
When were the teeth done?
I would treat for ulcers, horses that eat slow can be a sign of ulcers for minimum of 30 days.
What is the worming program? I worm mine every 3 months especially if they are dry lotted.
I would add simple carbohydrates to your horse, you have the protein, the fat, but missing the quick energy.
What type of mineral are you feeding? |

Mine is eating MUCH better and has only been on it 8 days. |

Most see improvement in 7-10 days, some it takes 2 weeks. And if it doesn't help, we do have a 45 day money back guarantee.  |
