"My 7 yr. old paint is an exceptionally easy keeper. She's my little "Hoover" ... will eat just about anything. She recently coliced this winter (impaction due to iced up grazing muzzle inhibiting water intake) and it was suggested to me put her on probiotics. I add one scoop of supplement, per the usage directions, to her PM grain ration. She's not leaving anything behind in her feed tub, so she must like it. I don't think she's been on it long enough to make a determination of its impact on her overall digestive health."

"My horse Casey had ulcers less than a year ago and I started feeding this just as a precautionary measure. Casey seems happy, not cranky so he obviously has no recurring symptoms. He also is really picky but doesn't mind the taste at all.
I would definately recommend it. It helps all horses utilize their feed better."

"My gelding, Phoenix had 2 bouts of colic this winter and has always been very touchy on his flanks and very gassy. After reading the reviews of others, I thought I'd give it a try.
Phoenix eats it right up and he seems to have less gas. He doesn't seem to have the long, loud gassy sounds that I've often mistaken for a chainsaw in the distance. Honestly! His mood seems a little better too. Before, he was touchy about having his flanks and belly touched. I'm doing a lot of things to ward off the colic concerns (keeping well-hydrated and "regular"), but he hasn't had any recurrences since starting SmartDigest Ultra. I'd recommend this product to others and as long as my boy is feeling fine, I'm happy!!"

"I started my mare on this product because she consistently had loose manure and excessive gut noise. She was already on a feed with probiotics and adding addt'l probiotics alone did not help. Within 2 days, her manure firmed up. Her stall is even a tiny bit neater, which is much appreciated! :)

This supplement is an excellent value compared with Succeed.

My only tiny complaint is that due to the turmeric, it does have a strong scent which took my mare a while to get used to. Once she consented to try it though, she liked it and now licks her bucket clean."

"I was looking for an digestive supplement to help my daughter's older horse, who is underweight and suffers from ulcers. i needed somethign that was palatable and that would work. I've used this for just about two weeks and not only does he eat all of his grain without sticking his nose up in the air (as with previouw supplements), but i can already see a difference."

"I picked up a severly malnourished, older mare in the fall. She has gained an incredible amount of weight back but sometimes has diarhea, and just couldn't gain her last few pounds back. I started her on Smartdigest Ultra and in only 2 weeks she has finally gained those pounds. She looks great, feels great, and has no more diarhea. I'm very glad I got this for her."

"I have a large pony that has been having trouble gaining weight here since we have brought him to our farm. We have tried everything to help get him back to his regular digestive cycle. Our vet reccomended SmartDigest, and it has seem to already started working. The pony has no trouble eating it with his grain. It smells nice, and is easy to feed! Great product!"

"I have been having problems with my mini-horses IBD. The smallest thing would set him of with diarrhea. I have been using this product for ten days and have been able to get him back on grain with no signs of diarrhea. The product is a powder but seems to stick to the grain without any problems. It must taste good because he licks the bucket clean. Will be ordering more since I only purchased a 28 days supply to try it out."

"It could just be coincidence, but after the first few months on this supplement, the tension in my horse's back that's been there as long as I can remember disapated. He was started on this supplement after a few mild, mild colic episodes caused my vet to suggest ulcers may have been to blame. I never had him tested or treated for ulcers, but it seems logical that perhaps he had them and they were causing his tension and this supplement allowed the ulcers to heal. Before using this I had him on SmartGut for a few months."

"After my 9 yo Half Percheron warmblood mix had colic surgery twice in the same year and an ovarectamy, needless to say she dropped weight. The vet was concerned that the stress of the year she had was causing an ulcer which caused the colics. Even if she did not have an ulcer, I figured that it would still not be a bad idea to make it easy on her digestive system anyhow. This product has definitely regulated her digestive schedule, literally like clockwork now! However, I'm not sure if it helped as much with the weight gain as I had hoped, even with several other weight gain suppelments. I guess some horses are just hard keepers no matter what. Not a bad product though!"

"My mare has had watery stools and IBS for over the year that I've owned her. I've tried alternative treatments, changing her hay, & probiotics with little success. My vet recommended Succeed, but it was price prohibited. After looking at the product comparison chart that Smart Pak designed, I thought I'd try SmartDigest Ultra since it was very similar and more affordable. Within 24 hours my horse's stool became more formed. They are now "normal" for the first time. I"m even able to give her alfafa hay again. I've recommended this product to my vet as a price effective alternative to Succeed. I can not be any more pleased and recommend this product to anyone who is experiencing hind gut issues."

"This is a great product. My horse is a hard keeper with terrible feet and foul smelling manure. Since he has started this product, he has kept weight on, put on a lot of muscle, his feet are much better and he seems to have much more normal digestion. Highly recommended."
