Location: In The Snow, AZ | Thoughts? Experiences? I’ve been reading up on it and it seems to be getting rave reviews. I know a dealer who says it’s basically a miracle supplement. She’s seen horses who have been basically crippled for years make amazing turn around and being ridden within a few weeks. Horses who need injections every few months to no longer needing them. Wounds healing at an advanced rate. Seems too good to be true... |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | As a supplement distributor myself, none are quite a miracle. Those that fix up ulcers usually show the greatest/fastest results. Or Biotin etc. But I really hate when someone selling a product acts like it is sent from Heaven above. I want to see hard core proof of how it works. With photos taken in the same environment, same direction, same camera, same amount of light and NO winter vs summer pictures.
I have heard of Equinety and have friends that sell it. I never bothered to look into it because with what I sell, if it isn't broke, don't fix it. |

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | i know of a couple people that SWEAR by it. But, im also a firm believer in hardcore facts. I need studies, test results and real proof before i go trying something and i havent found anything like that for it. Theres sooo many supplements on the market these days its overwhelming sometimes and we all want the best for our babies, but some of it just makes me roll my eyes. lol |

Location: Oklahoma | My opinion is the ingredients, and what is the ingredient supposed to do? Like for feet it is a combination not just biotin. same thing as building muscles in horses combination of amino acids not just one. I don't know bout the product that you are talking about, but I always start with ingredients. Calming horses: most supplements including forefront has magnesium in it, some works better than others but it could also do with the combination of what ingredients are together and of course nothing is black and white! especially horses. There is a lot of stuff out there! I have learned a lot bout looking at ingredients in everything. Be surprised how some things are pretty close the same except for the price. |

Location: Got Lobsta? | I looked into as a friend stated her trainer swears by it. She used it and didn't see any results. I looked at the ingredients and it matched up with what I'm feeding for a supplement now otherwise I would have tried it. |

Location: SE Missouri | I don’t sell it but definitely use it.. After being introduced to BCAA’s through CrossFit and they stopped my muscle tremors after hard workouts and how much they reduced my recovery time I see the benefits for horses being used and worked regularly.
My 6yo mare is fed Equinity daily. She is a nice 1D/2D mare and want her to continue to feel good bc I know she is using herself and will get sore. If she was a 4D horse I wouldn’t buy it.
I wouldn’t use it (and dont) on horses not getting rode or doing a job. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Thanks for the replies! I know a few people who have recently started using it and claim to see results. One gals horse just ran his fastest pole time ever. Granted, it can’t be contributed solely to the product.
I was using THE MM for several years. I didn’t reorder after my last bucket was gone and haven’t been feeding any supplements for a while now. But thinking about starting something back up with the new season starting up. Just wanted to look at options and appreciate the info! |

Location: Louisiana | I have a friend that is using it and swears by it. I haven't looked into it myself bc I just went back to CurOst and am giving that a fair chance to work before I swap to something else...
But she uses it on an open horse who is running pretty good right now, and also an older Cushings mare that she said she's noticed a huge difference in. |

Location: North Dakota | The thought behind the product is that many horses today are lacking essential amino acids which play bigger roles in our bodies than many people even know about. Your horses body can not be healthy without the essentials and if you body is not healthy then you will see poor weight, nervousness, poor feet, poor haircoat and the list goes on.. if you supply the body with nutrients it is lacking then you will see all of those things improve.
If you don't have good pasture or good hay this could be a product that might benefit. It all depends on the individual horse and the situations each horse is put into.
Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins and proteins are important for every single cell in your body.
I can see how this supplement could be a miracle supplement to some but in reality it is a basic idea that just supply the body with what it is lacking. There is no gimmick here. It really could turn a horse around if it lacking an essential amino acid.
ETA: I don't sell or use this product.

| I actually use it and love it!
My gelding was actually very hard to keep muscle on even though hes younger. If you didn't ride every day his excess fat would go right to his stomach, now he keeps his muscle tone well for not being rode as often. I am also feeding a lot less. I feed buckeye nutrition and one bag now last him 2 weeks. I really like it and do I think its a cure all type thing, no. But my horses also wont go a day with out it. It has a lot of amino acids that help their cells work the way they are supposed to and I think in general that is what would probably help horses the most. |

| So here is where I get stuck- if you feed a good feed with a solid amino acid analysis, do you need to add this as well? Are these really BCAA's that are more bioavailable? Is one tiny scoop ( I have fed Equinety and talked to John about repping for a bit) truly enough? I struggle with it because I know the value of good amino acids, but I just wonder about the research on Equinety, what the true bioavailable form of the AA's is etc. Cuz if it was truly legit I would feed it. But I feel like it might be duplicating the AA's in my feed...and then you just have excess AA's going to the kidneys...and...yeah.

| Equinety is only amino acids... that being said, I am a FIRM believer in THE MM with the special blends and they contain not only amino acids but proteins, vitamins, herbs and minerals. So why only get amino acids?? Go with THE :) |

Location: The Great Northwest |  Hemp seed oil hasthe perfect ratio of Omegas for the horse and other animals. It is relatively a newcomer to the group of oils fed to horses, but it has a traditional use as a healthy, beneficial oil that dates back to the Ming Dynasty. Hemp Seed oil is a unique oil provideing not only Omega 3 and 6, but 9 as well. But what sets Hemp Seed oil apart from the other oils is that it provides GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid. GLA helps reduce inflammation which is huge. To learn more about Hemp products go to FB and to North American Hemp Products. |
