"My Oldenburg gelding has been on DMG for about a month now and it has been great! He was having some stiffness in his hindend which has started to resolve itself since being on DMG and he is able to push off more from behind. Along with moving more comfortably he also feels more solid throughout his workouts. I'd say he must love it as well since he licks the feed bucket clean every morning!"

"I'm bringing a 17 year old horse out of retirement. Needless to say he needed some help in the muscle department. He has been on DMG for over a month now and his body and his stamina have definitely benefited from this supplement."

"I have been noticing that the joint supplements alone were not addressing some of the stiffness issues we were experiencing while foxhunting. Trying DMG seemed to not only help the horses perform during the hunt, but also seemed to mitigate some of the warm up time needed the next day, too. I liked the results so much, I put one of my horses on Smartmuscle Stamina, which includes DMG and other ingredients that seem to be the missing link for performance and comfort during long, strenuous rides. And the results were pretty immediate--within 2-3 days I was able to see good improvement."

"I just started feeding Smart DMG to my OTTB gelding. He has more energy and more stamina, witch is a good thing now that he is showing second level dressage and is schooling third level. He feels better and he is no longer stiff and warms up alot faster."

"I bought this for my gelding to see if it would help his occasional lameness and girthiness. I haven't noticed much difference after a month, except that he seems a little less sensitive to grooming on his back and isn't quite so fussy about girthing...I'll give it another month to see."

"I have a 16.3 hh Swedish Warmblood who can very much be on the sluggish side. He is also at a point where are beginning to ask for more collection. To keep him from stalling out during our rides, I decided to give this product a try. It has helped to keep going even during our rides where we have high physical demands on his muscles."

"Over the last several months, my horse had put on a lot of muscle and was able to perform a a greater level of collection. Even so, his stamina was lacking. So, our true work period each day was relatively short. Now, we can accomplish more each day."

"It worked in two days, is cheap, and my horse eats it...can't ask for much more! Thanks SmartPak! My mare was getting sore across the top of her haunches since we have been working on rounding up in the last few weeks. She was even touchy to the point of not wanting to be curried or hosed off, which is very unlike her. I decided to give this a try hoping it was just sore muscles, and boy was it worth it! I wasn't sure if she would eat it since I didn't care for the smell but she even ate without grain the first night. After the first two days, she was no longer touchy about her haunches even liked having her back curried...she must have been a little sore there before and I didn't even know it. This is a great supplement and I will keep her on it during conditioning and show season!"

"This review may not seem typical, but since learning about DMG for my horse, I went to the health food store and bought it for myself. I wanted to see exactly what it does so I could better understand how it helped my horse. So based on my findings, and this is a personal-use opinion I realize, but I recommend it. Personally, I noticed improved mental clarity and I think more energy. The mental clarity is what I noticed the most. As for the horse, I did muscle testing and she did test strong for DMG indicating it is beneficial to her. But it alone is not enough of a solution for our problem and Sunny was moving better several months ago therefore I am going back to the combination of Smart Tendon, Smart TLC, and Smart Protect. I am doing a temporary switch between Smart Protect with Smart Bug Off for this month because they contain similar antioxidants. Smart Bug Off also has Grape Seed Extract."

"I am very happy with the DMG by SmartPak. If money is an issue with other muscle and joint supplements, then definitely go with DMG. It basically takes out the lactic acid that causes soreness after a workout. My horse is already significantly better through his back after events and hard workouts. The main thing that shows he's feeling better is his extensions are AWESOME. He's stepping so much further under himself instead of getting stuck on a sore muscle. He's a much happier pony and I'm a much less stressed owner/rider! Thanks to DMG :)"

"I have a 6 y/o paint mare. I use her as part of my lesson program, but she's hypp n/h and while she's hasn't been symptomatic thanks to careful management, she was often sore and touchy. I spent a small fortune trying to help her be more comfortable, ruling out other causes, by having the vet do blood work (normal), checked her teeth, her saddle fit, her feeding program - everything. Finally, a friend suggested DMG and I started her on it, figuring it was worth a shot. GONE is the sensitivity to touch, she's MUCH happier being groomed and is no longer cinchy. Made a BIG difference"

"After being ridden hard one day, my mare tied up. In order to keep this from happening again as she engages faster gears in barrel racing, SmartPak answered my call for suggestions. DMG is working perfectly."

"My horse seemed so uncomfortable and did not want to move forward. After a week on SmartPak's DMG he was like his old self. He willingly moves forward and is much softer to ride. I could not be more pleased."

"Great product! Within two weeks my trainer noticed a big difference in my gelding's topline and movement. His high withers are less prominent and he carries his head much more comfortably. It's like riding a completely different horse. Fantastic product for a great price."

"I purchased DMG three weeks ago and have found it to be helpful in allowing my horse to recover during a heavy work training schedule. I'm not fully aware of the benefits but have seen no downside at this point. My goal was to find a product which allowed my horse's muscles to recover quickly while increasing his work stamina."

"Even though this product is not advertised to build muscle in horses I saw an immediate change in my horse's condition and lean muscle development wihtout changing her exercised/conditioning program. Her stamina was improved and recovery took a lot less time! She didn't even leave any behind in her bucket."
