"Bought this for my mare who was a bit distracted at shows and easily spooked. She's now focused and not always on edge."

"My OTTB mare showed a noticeable difference within a day of taking this liquid supplement. She licks her food bowl cleaner than ever before and is much more content about doing yoga exercises such as belly lifts and pelvic tucks with no complaints! She normally would stomp her feet, make a fuss, and aim for my head. But this time, she was VERY quiet and did them perfectly. I'm amazed and happy to say that the supplement did the trick! I bought it on a whim and I am so glad I did!"

"I purchased Thia-Cal for our very picky eater. He is on Smart Flex Senior due to his arthritis. We wanted to make sure he will eat all his feed and help him to avoid stress. Snowball NEVER has finished his feed so "clean". He is doing very well and you can hear him neighing when it is feeding time. Thanks!"

"My excitable... to say the least... Arabian did better in his jumping lesson this weekend than ever before. He has been on this product for a month. He did it calmly, cooly and higher without so much as a flinch and even my trainer remarked on how she liked his "new attitude". I had him on Smart B1 but didnt think it was quite enough and the smartcalm I felt gave him "medicine head" where hed be calm until the jump standard "came out of nowhere!" and almost startled him back to reality. This gave him just a bump extra he needed to really out do my wildest dreams for him! Thanks Finish Line!"

"Went to a lesson last month and my horse had been off his supplement for 3 days prior. He was a crazy man! I told my trainer it was because we were off this supplement and she didn't believe me. Fast forward to last night, same situation, outdoor arena, breezy night... and bam, perfect superstar. It really helps him think before reacting and really focus in. Hes an Arabian Gelding and if anyone's had a "special snowflake" arabian... they'll love this supplement! I am a finishline junkie, their Total control saved my big hunter mare... Love them!"

"I tried this for my OTTB. Being the first winter I ever rode him, he has the cold weather crazies. I tried this after reading about it and so far so good. My horse is finally listening to me again and we even started jumping again without issues. He is much more focused."

"Works well to take the edge off my slightly reactive gelding. More effective than B crumbles the competitor makes, and apparently more palatable. Highly recommend."

"I ordered this product to help calm a very reactive and sensitive arab gelding. After I ordered it I wondered how the dosage would be doubled the first 10 days as recommended. When it arrived I did not see double doses for the beginning days so I just gave double "wells" for the first week. We will run out of product sooner, which is not a big deal to me as it's more important for the horse to realize the benefits. Speaking of benefits this has seemed to take the edge off this "very aware" guy. He isn't as jumpy, but still alert. I will continue using this product.
I wonder if some customers may not realize it is recommended to double dose the first 10 days, and then just give the regular daily amount and not have as good results.
I just dumped this powder on his feed for the first dose and he left some powder in his feed bin - which is unusual. Since then I've been mixing it in with Omega Horseshine into a wet mash and he's eaten it all.

YOU CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!

February 18, 2007
ByNat Nelson
fromBuckeye, AZ
"Thia-Cal really works and is very economical. I've used it on my endurance arabian mare, with unbelievable results! She's calm and relaxed even with a 100 horses leaving for the trail before her! I've used it on a rouge of a gelding and he's a different horse! I've recomended it to a working cowboy who uses it on his ranch gelding - he says "he'll never be with out it!" I could say more, but running out of room - YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS PRODUCT!"

"Thia-Cal is the only supplement I swear by where I can see a huge difference in my too-hot-to-handle Morgan's ability to contain himself. Helps and really works."
