Location: Opelousas, LA | iloveequine40 - 2016-04-01 2:04 PM I don't feed Curost, or THE, or any other manufactured blends. I have concocted my own blend for my personal use, using alot of the same herbs found in these products and some that aren't. I've done a TON of research on herbs. I've looked at other product labels. I've calculated the costs on feeding these convenient mixes to my horses and found that I can purchase in bulk and create my own. I spend approximately $150-$200 a month on bulk herbs for 5 horses. It does require a little more work on my part making their breakfast in the mornings but I don't mind because they love the herbs and are doing phenomenal, especially my gelding who had terrible allergies.
Would you mind sharing your blend? |

Total but if there is any arthritis or something, I would ask Dr. Schell what he thought. |

| I tried it for joints. It didn't work. She was still dry jointed and needed to be injected. You will be better off getting Polyglycan. Then add Vitalize High Performance. |

Location: North Dakota | snoopy - 2016-04-02 9:38 AM I see om the Cur Ost site there are a few formulas to choose from, which one is the best for joint maintenance and general well being? My 23rd old gelding couldn't do more than walk without showing severe lameness. He was injected 3 times in the last year and a half and it didn't help. He couldn't even walk some days without hobbling along.
He started Cur-OST the end of December and after about 3 weeks in I noticed him being a bit more spunky and he just continued to improve. He now runs around his pasture, playing and bucking atleast once a day. I haven't seen him be this active on his own in several years. Great to see him feeling good finally. I tried the injecting route/smartpak brand joint supplements/ GLC 5500/ and many more. Nothing else worked. Cur-OST did and the old man will be coming out of retirement this summer!  He was on 1 scoop of Pure AM & PM for 2 weeks. I then moved him to 2 scoops of Total support once a day and 1/4 scoop of Pure once a day per Dr. Schell's instructions. He is now maintained on the Plus formula and I still add in 1/4 scoop of Pure. I will bump him back up to Total support if I feel he needs it or if I ride him alot this summer. I think normally Plus or Total is the joint formulas. Pure is used to manage high inflammation levels and then normally you back them down or take them off the Pure formula from what I understood.
Cur-OST also helped my COPD mare as well. She hasn't felt this good since I bought her. (I didn't know she had heaves. I'm just happy I finally found something that helped her after trying many other products.)
Total support would be best for well being.

Location: South Central Florida | I wasn't able to aford to try it. I believe different things work for different horses. I use a DAC mineral and Animal Element ITZ that's about it. I do add flax seeds but I would love to try something on one horse that has nervous issues.....but I just can't really add anytyhing else to my budget so that's why I never tried the CurOst. |

| I switched on mine because pricing is outrageous for multiple horses. I mix my own personal concoction after a ton of research and consulting. So far I've had really good luck with my mix and my nasty picky eater loves it. It lasts about 3 months for what 1 month of curost is worth |

Have you tried THE calming cookies? I feed the Cur Ost Adapt but I have a mare who does better with the THE cookies, especially on windy days. They worked so well on one horse I have who is usually very nervous when I haul, that the vet was asking me about them. Sometimes the girl who is a rep for THE has sample cookies she can send you. |

I tried it for joints. It didn't work. She was still dry jointed and needed to be injected. You will be better off getting Polyglycan. Then add Vitalize High Performance.
I did end up injecting my gelding's RF leg (knee, coffin, and navicular), but my vet felt that he was moving freely enough in his hind end to hold off. Before I started CurOst, he was also very sore in his hocks and stifles. My vet wanted to inject everything.
Being winter, I said let's wait til spring, and started CurOst.
So it did help his less inflamed joints, even though he does has a spur on each hock I was able to put off the injections.
And I have to say while the joint improvements were great, his overall health is what really made me happy. He is showing zero ulcer symptoms, has been so happy and cooperative. His coat is shiny, he gained weight, he has that curious spark back in his eye.
I'm hauling him for exhibitions this Tuesday, then he'll be making his first run in over 6 months at a rodeo Saturday night. It's one of his favorite pens and I absolutely can't wait!

| I have been using the Cur-Ost Pure since the beginning of February and just switched to the Total this month.
My horse had a severe case of joint infection in his navicular bursa at the beginning of January. Due to finances I brought him home after a month of pretty intensive care. I placed him on the Cur-Ost- he coliced the first week home for about 5 days, probably due to pain and having IV pain medication removed. He was using a whol bottle of Banamine a week.
Re check on day 30 after discharge- whole clinic came out to we him. They did not expect him to live, he was walking sound but not jogging sound at this point. We had a set back this past month with some severe bruising showing on his sole, but he seems to be recovering at this point.
Not too shabby when the vet's don't think they will recover!!
Every horse is different and you may not have the results I did. |

My horse was reluctant to eat it at first, but after a few days of creative mixing, he started eating it. I always warn people when they start the respiratory blends, that coughing and nasal discharge can increase. My horse coughed incessantly the first week of the double dose. I emailed Dr. Schell during that time frame out of concern, and he reassured me this was necessary to get the trash and mucous out of his airways, much like a pneumonia patient is encouraged to cough....only one way to get it out and is up and out. It was alarming at first to see the increased cough, but it began to dissipate the second week, and by the end of the 3rd week the cough was gone and hasn't come back.
Glad you found a program that is working for you and your crew is doing well. Lots of ways to skin a cat, that's for sure! Same here. My horse was already coughing during warmup, but it was a seemingly dry cough. Day 10, he came out from making a run and blew all kinds of horrendous gunk out of his head. Day 21, he made a 1d run. It had been over a year since he had done that. Btw, I took a break feeding it mid winter to save some money. Wasn't worth it.
What formula do you feed for the cough? That is all I am looking to try and it sounds what your horse has/had is his problem - the dry cough. |

I have bad allergies and live in South Texas. I take the human Ultimate and the Immune. I warn you that for a week or so you will think you are doing worse because you getting rid of all the mucos and stuff. But I still feel better even in the first week. It has also helped my asthma. I no longer take Advair and only use the albuterol if I don't take my Cur Ost for a week. This isn't a cure- when ever I quit for a week my sinuses get bad again, but it sure beats the meds and their side effects. |

Yep, me too on the HU Ultimate and HU Immune. I used to have to take a Claritin D or Zyrtec D every single day, and once spring was in full force i'd have to get a steroid shot as well. Took allergy shots as a teenager also. I haven't had to take an allergy pill since June of last year. If the allergens are really high, my eyes may itch a little bit, or I may sneeze once or twice, but have not had to use the medications like before at all or stuff tissue up my nose and leave it there to keep it from dripping.
I'm like GP, if I miss a day, I can tell, as I get sinus pressure headaches and can feel the mucous building back up. With the HU Ultimate, I also notice that my aches and pains from old injuries and my back don't bother me anymore. The benefit with the inflammation support from the Ultimate goes way beyond just allergy relief. :)
