"My 25 year old TB has quite the spring back in her step!! It did take about a month before a noticed a change but now she moves great. I also noticed a difference in her hoof growth and especially her tail!! This product also has seemed to help with stocking up, although it could be due to her being able to go back to work. It is a bit expensive so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for simple maintenance BUT if you have an injured horse or one that is chronically lame absolutely give this a try."

"I just want to sing the praises of Steadfast. My NRCHA performance horse's trainer recomended I start her on Steadfast 3 years ago, and I have since begun my rope/endurance horse on Steadfast, hoping to strengthen joints/soft tissue and prevent damage from wear and tear. Frankly, the stuff works; my mare looks and moves great! We'll see what happens with time and more endurance. I do wish it were pelleted, & the mare's a bit finicky about the taste. However, if Steadfast keeps her working through the years as she is going now, it's worth every penny."

"I started feeding this to two of my horses and I noticed a difference after about three weeks. My horses rythm and propulsion improved as they felt more comfortable in their joints and muscles."

"recommended by my vet after giving my 22 year old TB mare a knee injection. Vet told me to try it for 2 months before making a decision.
My mare is now at the 10 week mark and there is no visible sign of improvement. I had high hopes for this product as it has actual studies behind it.
I need to add a little water to my mares grain to make it stick so it does not siton the bottom of the feed pan. Mare was not thrilled the first 2 days it was on her grain but she did eventually eat it.
The cost is the biggest drawback with this product. I could have gone down the Adequan path for what I paid for three months of Steadfast - I did not cancel auto ship for month number three since I was only feeding week 7 when it was time for it to ship. My thinking was if it did start to work I did not want my mare to miss a full week while I had a new order shipped. I will finish the last two weeks of this supplement since I have paid for it. I also saw no increase in hoof/mane/tail growth like other users have. I plan to try Cetyl - M, Lubrisyn or Adequan.

"Great product and clinically proven to work. As a scientist I love the Arenus company and the research they put into all of their products. If the cost was slightly lower I would place my horse back on this product. Actual % ingredients shown are for (2) 25 gram packets."

"Steadfast Equine Grew new and improved hooves on my horse. The sole was thin and sensitive before Steadfast. In short order my shoer asked what I was doing different because my horse had never had such healthy feet. He has an all over health and shine and this is the only supplement my horse receives. I'll save money somewhere else this is a must have!"

"Excellent overall joint product used for my reiner. Additional benefits include not having to purchase his hoof and coat supplement as this product is excellent for that as well. My WISH: Would be soooo much better if it was PELLETS, CUBES, or ??? The powder is not my first choice."

"I have been using Steadfast for my soon to be 32 year old mare for a little over a year. Her flexibility has increased. She moves about in the pasture more often and has even spontaneously picked up a trot now and then."

"I have a working cow horse that all the sudden started tying up, his hanches would be so sore after working by the next day....we tried everything for over a yr then someone told me about Steadfast along with some extra vit E and Selinium and within a few weeks he was back to his old self, winning and never sore! We keep in on it each day, it is so worth his comfort! I cannot recommend this product enough, it gave me my horse back!"

"This is an awesome product. My 16.2 hand gelding is a hard worker and this keeps him feeling good. He is at PSG and is 100% sound. My trainer met the Steadfast people at a big show a year ago. We started a bunch of our horses on this product then. We noticed a difference in about 2 months. The product would be easier to use in pellets as sometimes the powder like substance seems to blow away or not get eaten. Overall two thumbs up. Thanks Steadfast!"

"My daughter recommended this product to me! She uses it on her 17 yr old Oldenburg and she loved the way it makes him move. I bought a mare in foal and she had a left hock issue. After giving this supplement to her for a month, she rides smooth and confident. I thank you my daughter for the suggestion. It worked!"

"Been using for about a month and my jumper is much more elastic. I dropped my hoof supplement because I've read this product also supports coat and hooves. His mane and hooves have the same strong growth rate as when he was turned out daily on grass this summer.
Looking forward to see how it works during the show season."

"My horse is coming 10; he has never grown hoof before. After using this product for a couple of months, I've had to have him shod a week early the last two shoeings...and this was in the winter! I found the NEM available for humans and started taking it myself and now have finger nails worthy of a manicure. I can't say enough about it!"

"This product was recommended by my Vet. It would be easy to feed if you use a mollasas type feed. Just put it into the feed. But because I do not feed a molassas type feed it ends up at the bottom of the feed bucket and not all of it is ingested. I wish they would make a pelleted product. I will have to make sure it sticks to the grain I do feed. Other than that it is a good product."

"I started using this product on a few horses in the barn and can't believe the change. One of my client's horses felt different in a week- he began easily stepping into the corners, sitting into his transitions, etc- I thought it was a fluke but he hasn't gone back to his former stiff self! One of my new horses has taken about a month to notice change, but he is much more fluid and his musculature is changing as well. Once I finish another top product I have been using, with varying results, I will be switching my other horses!"
