Location: In the Hills of Texas | Itsme - 2014-09-15 5:41 PM One of our horses is in a paddock with 4 other mares and we cant get out to feed her separately every day. Would feeding her FORCO 5 times a week be beneficial or detrimental to her? She needs to add a little weight all over plus some extra on her top line.
It certainly wouldn't be detrimental. I know some people, to keep costs down, double dose when they haul and don't give during the week. |

Thank you, we will probably be getting a hold of you sometime soon. |

Location: the high desert | I love FORCO. I will post some before and after pictures here in another week or so, i recently bought my big buckskin mare back and she was not in the best of shape. Started her on FORCO and its only been a week, but you can already see a difference. Another two weeks or so and i think she will be back to were she should be. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | When people see a difference in a short time it's because their gut was out of whack. When someone says they don't see a difference it's most likely because their guts are working properly which of course is a good thing. FORCO has one job and that is to keep the gut flora balanced for proper digestion. It can only work as well as the genetics of the horse allows. |

Location: the high desert | Very true. When i owned my colt i started him on it as well for no reason other than that i wanted him to look and feel his best. He looked great before FORCO, but he looked awesome while on FORCO. I think it gave him that little extra something he was missing. In my mares case, she just flat out wasnt being fed enough calories for how much she was being rode. So truthfully just being fed more calories and having some time off is helping her, but i think the FORCO will help just that much more by allowing her hind gut to absorb every bit of nutrition out of her feed as possible. |

Exactly right!
The health of animals and people begin with a healthy gut. Sounds like the FORCO just gave his gut that little extra to make him really bloom. Great product. |

| I couldn't get my gelding bulked up for the life of me. I started FORCO a few months ago and he looks incredible now. He wasn't skinny, just lean and looked more like a tb, now there is no mistaking him for the bulky QH that he is. FORCO will be a forever component in his diet. |

Location: never in the right place | my horse loves Forco. I mix it with a little water and add meds to it and put it on his feed and he dives for it.
Thanks to NTO I started using a pinch of it for me (everything I ate made me feel bloated) and in 3 days I felt a big difference and I have been doing it for maybe almost a month. If is helps me it must help him.

Location: Its Freaking Freezing Up Here... | Is there a website for it? Wondering if we can get it in Canada.
Nevermind, I found the website and spoke with them. And of course, we can't get it. Nuts.

Location: Gainesville, TX | I started using it on my three year old after Liana DeWeese put her on it while she was in training. She went to Liana's looking good and came back looking good. What I did notice difference wise was that I could feed her less and she got more out of it. The feed I currently have her on is fairly basic but also has a little different probiotic so she's very balanced in terms of gut health. It's also great to help prevent ulcers, something I was particularly worried about with a young horse in training. I worry much less now. |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | I have a senior guy almost 26. he has become harder to keep weight on...and recently started having occasional diarrhea.
I started him on Forco about 2 weeks or so ago....and he has not had diarrhea since. That makes me VERY happy.
He is a bit picky and if he suspects meds are in his feed he will walk away. I am putting a little oil on his Total Equine diet and then the Forco sticks to it. He eats it right up. |

Location: Gainesville, TX | I usually get the 10# pellet which lasts 70 days for a maintenance dose but a bit shorter for a loading dose.
ETA: Usually about $55 or 56 cost for the 10#

Thank you! I feel like the liquid supplement I'm using is just being wasted so I love the idea of the pellets. And that's not a bad price at all! |
