Hello Lynne!
I bought Fargo in August 2010 Dutch/Thoroughbred cross. He was a little bit under nourished when I got him so I thought I would put him on free choice hay and Hoffmans minerals every day.
We started working him 4-5 times a week. He was just broke last spring. Every time I rode Fargo, he felt really sensitive around the girth area. He seemed to have a lot of gas and was constantly pooping during my ride.
My coach said he is tense and nervous but it will pass. Instead of getting better, Fargo got worse. It came to a point where I couldn't ride him at all anymore. Every time I would ask him to move forward he would resist, pin his ears, hop on the spot. He was unable to get to canter.
I called the vet and explained the symptoms, she thought my horse has stomach ulcers. We put him on Omeprazole for three months, he got somewhat better, but still he wasn't right.
Every time I brought him into the barn to tack him up he looked very fatigued and dull, always a grumpy look on his face with pinned ears. He even started having mild colic's after my rides.
After I fed him the Hoffmann's I noticed he would go straight to the water to drink and he urinated a lot as well. I had the vet out again, this time we suspected Hypo-thyroids.
The vet took every blood test there is to finally find out what's wrong with my horse. Surprisingly the tests came back normal. I was glad, but still didn't know what was wrong with my horse.
For 8 months I made sure that Fargo received the full recommended dose of Hoffmans minerals every day as this was recommended by many people that this was a good choice of vitamins I went to the Main Event in Red Deer where I met Lynne who spoke about Equine nutrition.
After I came up to her and told her about my horse and the symptoms he was showing over the last 8 months. I told her that I had gone to several vets and no one could find out what was wrong with Fargo.
She recommended to change his diet which I totally agreed with since I tried everything there was and nothing really helped my horse. She talked about Bio Equine and how it could benefit and change my horse's life. At that point I was willing to try just about anything and so I started Fargo on Bio Equine the very next day and discontinued entirely with the Hoffman's.
As a replacement for the Hoffman's, I changed to Step 8 to have something to top dress the Bioequine and added two scoops of Bio Equine as recommended for the first two weeks..
After that I the Step 8 to just 1 scoop a day. Within one week, I could see significant changes in my horse. He perked up, had good energy when I was riding him.His sensitivity around the girth area was gone, he could move forward and extend, loves to canter with happy ears and jumps better than ever. His constant pooping and gas were also gone.
He is completely off the Omeprazole. I am finally enjoying a horse I didn't even know I had thanks to Bio Equine and Lynne who explained Equine Nutrition to me.
Thanks' for giving me a healthy horse.

Hello this is Emily. I came by and got some of the supplement at the start of the summer last year. My mare did awesome on it this year and she just kept looking better and better, Her times in barrels also kept getting better and she never seemed to be stressed at the races or even get tired at the three day races. I even have friends that are ordering the supplement now since they noticed how well my mare did on them over the racing season. I am thankful that I found this supplement that is affordable and it is doing so good for me that I just ordered the bigger deal of it so I can keep maintaining my mare for the upcoming year of barrel racing and get my little filly started on it so I know she is in good health when I start her this spring. We talked a little about me trying to help you sale it more down here in Nevada and I am still willing to do that if you want to. Just let me know and I will try my best to sale this great product that I have come to like so much.
Thanks again, Emily
Hi, Lynne:
I received my shipment of BioEquine in November, and my Trakehner mare has been on it since it came. Within 3 days my barn staff and I noticed that her manure had normalized, instead of being the cow manure consistency she's always had. Within the week we noticed a change in her attitude. She's become much more relaxed and focused, and our farrier's noticed the difference in her demeanor as well. He's also advised me that she's got twice the hoof growth (through November and December) she's ever had, even compared to spring and summer growth on grass.
I started our DWB mare on it about 2 weeks ago, and have noticed an equal change in her ability to relax and focus in her work, and most noticeably, in her appetite. She's always been hard to get to eat enough to sustain her properly (she works hard) without resorting to concentrates. Now she's eating 100% more hay, and is fed only enough concentrates to carry the BioEquine.
We don't feed grain, and haven't for years. We do feed a forage and fat based pelleted concentrate, Equi-Cal, formulated by Otter Co-Op in Aldergrove, BC. The horses like it, and do very well on it, but I prefer to have them eating more hay and less of everything/anything else, so BioEquine is definitely worthwhile.
I've sent a number of my clients to you recently, in hopes that they and their horses will experience the same results!
Thanks,
Jan
