"I put my 26 year old gelding on this as he was really struggling to keep and gain weight, despite all the appropriate feed he was getting. After a couple weeks on the Probiotic, he's gaining weight and his appetite is much better. He doesn't love the taste of it by itself, but is fine with it mixed into his food."

"I decided to try this after my mare developed a bad case of "messy manure" that just wouldn't go away. I was having to wash her tail & back end every other day. #she is grey so there was no getting around how gross it was#. I had tried several other probiotic products with no luck. Within 2 weeks of starting this product she showed great improvement. She has been on it for 2 months now and there has been now sign of the mess recurring. I would highly recommend this product!"

"I purchased the probiotic for my senior horse and am tickled with the result. After being told he was just going to have "old horse" runny manure and after months of shampooing and hosing his back legs and tail clean I decided to try the SmartPak probiotic. Within three weeks he was 100% back to normal. I have recommended the supplement to all my friends with senior horses."

"These two products are the answer to many prayers, literally! My grand daughter has a thorobred..he ia a former racehorse. He started dropping weight seemingly overnight. He was seen by 4 different vets and none of them knew what was wrong or what to do. They just kept saying feed him more, give him lots of hay etc. He was on 16 pounds of Purina Omolene a day and had access to large bales of coastal hay. We are in quarter horse country so I have to excuse the vets' naivete...sort of. I was afraid he was going to die soon so my grand daughter and I drove him 6 hours away to Texas A&M university 'Large animal hospital'. After 10 days and testing he was diagnosed with severe IBD. He was taken off of hay, it was making his colitis worse, and changed to Purina Senior. He also had to get steroid injections. We dropped off a bag of bones and 10 days later picked up a horse that had gained 80 lbs. and was looking like he would survive. He was given a 60% chance. 'Native' has always been bright and loving, especially for a stallion. We cried so many tears for him over the past few months. I kept in touch with his A&M vet because he would gain weight and then drop it all. We had to wean him from the steroids, increase his food, give him green grass and alfalfa. We were to the point where it seemed like he was losing the battle. Then I read about probiotics. I take them and did some research and found them at SmartPak. When I say these products are an answer to many prayers it is true. Just after 2 weeks Native looks better than he did after his stay at A&M. He is gaining weight and keeping it on. To have found products that he loves and that are natural ingredients have given us peace of mind. He has his first 2 foals due next Spring and for a long while we thought they were all we would have left of his memory. But I am convinced he is going to make a complete recovery because of SmartPak Probiotics and the Smart Gain. A huge 'Thank You!' seems so inadequate."

"I have two jumpers that seemed to need FastTrack...I fed them the probiotic from SmartPak for a month and noticed a difference right away! Much better results than Probios and I have taken them off of it after just one month and they seem to have resolved any issues. If they show signs again, I will put them back on this product"

"My horse would not eat this without applesauce mixed in. If your horse is fussy--this is not the right product. Switching to a pellet probiotic--hope my horse will eat it with some senior mixed in. He is 19."

"The unnaturally warm weather this Fall kept our grass green much longer than usual, which seemed to create very loose stools in three of our ten horses. Our vets had reported many farms dealing with this issue, so we assumed it would resolve on its own when winter came. When winter finally arrived the looseness persisted, and we began to think we might have tripped into other trouble. The horses themselves seemed unbothered, even as their legs and hind-parts (yes, I just wrote "hind-parts", like I'm some kind of Laura Ingalls Wilder!) were covered with watery muck. After consulting several times with our vets, we re-wormed, tested for sand ingestion (negative, so no course of psyllium required) and finally decided to pursue a course of probiotics. We fired up the Smart Paks! Within two weeks the boys dried up and their manure was normal again. Cue: The Hallelujah Choir! Finally we had horses pooping and not cows flopping! No more daily butt-washing, no more frustration. Thank you wonderful tiny microbes! And thank you, Smart Pak, for another flawless transaction! Laura Ingalls Wilder would approve, even if she didn't have a clue as to what we're talking about. ;)"

"I LOVE this product. My show horse is worked very intensely and we compete throughout the year. Even though showing is in his blood he does get stressed out. The probiotics help calm him down and help balance his gut and stomach. He never gets diarrhea, colic, or any stomach ulcers. I've noticed a huge difference in his personality and a horse who is nervous to begin with eats a shows and wherever we go. I'm sold on having a probiotic for horses."

"I started using this product a couple of months ago after my horse seemed to get a bit constipated almost weekly and since I have been using this product she has been much more regular and her manure is so much more solid too. It looks like less hay is undigested in it now too! I would highly recommend this product and one called ProViable EQ as well since one of the other horse owners in my barn is using that and says it has cleared up her horses diarrhea and put more weight on him too. The Smart Paks are also so convenient and I love how much easier they are than the big container which always seems to go wafting out of the container when you open it."
