          Location: 31 lengths farms | I have an appointment for my gelding on Monday, if you still have the bottle by then I'm calling dibs on it :-) If you get another offer I understand that too! Thank you for the info on the Cur_ost. I just started my mare on the Stomach one and had gotten the Green for the gelding but am thinking that I may need to go with the 2X one instead. |

      Location: NE Texas | FLITASTIC - 2015-10-06 12:39 PM Hey there, I am using the TOTAL support on both my horses. THe one with some arthritis and joint issues is also on the PURE half dose. My colt gets TOTAL and Adapt/Calm. I paid 125.00 for the osteophos from horse prerace. I would sell it for 50.00 THanks! Just PM me if you want it. Its fresh. But it is NOT Osphos, it is the horseprerace version.
I have some medications I need to throw into this deal as well, Flit. I no longer need my Previcoxx, Ventipulmin, or Dex anymore even though my horse was non responsive to any of it anyway. The Cur-Ost is all I need to maintain mine and keep him feeling his best. |

Can someone let us know where to order it from and what injection sights you are using?Β  Β
You will need to get Tildren or Osphos from yor vet or a prescription from the vet for it, if they give you one. If you give the shots yourself, my vet gives 2 on one side of the neck and 1 on the other side of the neck.
Thank you. Valley Vet has it for about $229 a bottle. Anywhere else you might know of to look?
I think most of them were around that price for the FDA approved products. Horseprerace and Horsemedsonline used to have a generic version. Not sure if they still do anymore. You could call them and ask. They do not require a vet prescription. They are not FDA approved so if this is a requirement for you, you will have to go the script by vet route. |

        Location: In My Own Dream Land | I wasn't in the start of this thread, but hoping I can chime in now. I put my mare on OsPhos in July. She was a 1d mare before. (3rd-5th normally) I noticed improvement within a week. Not a huge one, but enough where I knew it was working. I took her to a jackpot 9 days after my vet appt. She won the jackpot by a whole second. From July until now, she has won 8 out of 9 jackpots entered, including winning the 1st round of state finals by .4 tenths, and the average by .6. 6 of those jackpots, she has won the 1d all alone. I'm not saying its a miracle drug, but I have had great results with it. Will be doing my 2nd shot in the next few weeks. |

Just be aware that the effect diminishes each time you give it. My vet said by the 3rd time it really has no effect. |

          Location: 31 lengths farms | So Flit, does he mean that with the first shot you will get all the changes or benefits you can squeeze out of it and then you will pretty much need other alternatives? |

When Osphos was first FDA approved there were no horses that had been given multiple doses over time. Now they have. The vet told me that evidence is now showing that the first dose is most effective, and each dose there after doesn't seem to work as well. Her advice was to really stretch it out as far as I could. Having said that, since being on CUROST my horse has not needed injections, previcox, or polyglycan. |

Can I have more info on Curost? The horse I'm using Osphos on is 6, so anything to lengthen her career.. |

The horse I'm using Osphos on is 6, so anything to lengthen her career.. There are several posts on the product research forum on this site, one that is very long with lots of information. You can also go to www.secondvet.com and check out the forum there, as there is lots of information to read and was a post regarding Osphos and Tildren a few weeks ago.
Going the Cur-Ost route is one you will not regret. It's a complete lifestyle change for your horses beginning with taking them off of any processed feeds or supplements containing synthetics, as all of that is contributing to the chronic inflammatory issues we are dealing with in our horses. For years I have used pro and prebiotics, ulcer supplements, joint supplements, breathing supplements, along with high dollar feed, etc. I no longer need any of the afore mentioned things, my horse eats one pound of oats once daily with his Cur-OST and alfalfa hay and looks better and is 100% healthy. That's a big change from where we were 7 months ago after having gone to 4 different vets in 2 states and exceeding their treatment options. Last vet recommended we put this horse down. I spent over $5000 in 3 months on vets and treatments to get nowhere. When I contacted Dr. Schell....after about a million hours of google research....I was skeptical to say the least and nearly puked when I placed my first order. Rolled my eyes and thought here we go again....another supplement gimmick. Boy was I wrong.....in 30 days I had a brand new horse who was healthy, happy, and back in training. http://forums.barrelhorseworld.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=465265&start=1
