"Love this product because it's ease of use and palatability. All of my horses eat and love it. I've heard of other horses that don't eat it, but I've never had that problem. Put weight nicely on my thoroughbreds off the track and on my young horse who couldn't have a lot of grain because of an OCD worry. Love this product and recommend it to anyone."

"I've had my OTTB, Blue now for just over 5 months and he has been on weight builder for the last 2 or so and it has worked wonders. He has filled out nicely and has a beautiful coat to boot. Now if you made such a product for my boxer, Daisy. And for the last month I have used the SmartPak system and it has really made doing supplements 10x easier."

"My Thoroughbred gelding has always had a hard time gaining and maintaing his weight. Well this winter he looke really skinny his ribs were kind of showing. So I had the vet come out and float his teeth, and wormed him with Safeguard Power dose. But Finn still was gaining enough weight. So I read some of the reviews for Weight Builder and I thought I should give it a try. I a coulple of weeks Finn started putting on lots of weight his ribs were coverd and his topline was starting to fill in. Plus his coat is so shiny. When I started Finn on Wieght builder I weight him he was 1,110 on 11/23/11. I reweighed him on 12/20/11 and he was 1,146 he gained 36 pounds in 30 days. I have to reweigh him agian but from just looking at him he looks like he might be close to 1,200 pounds. Finn loves the taste of Weight Builder and he licks his food bucket clean, I have had to cut him back to on scoop a day because, I don't want him to get to fat."

"Very good product for putting weight on. There was a noticable difference within a few weeks. But, my mare got picky after awhile and picked her grain out leaving the supplement behind. So, you may need to add some honey or molasses."

"I love this supplement, its a supplement that you can see gratifying results with in just a couple days. Ive used it on hard keepers, horses coming out of neglectful situations that needed weight put on and horses in high intensity training that are having trouble keeping weight on. Ive never had a horse refuse to eat it, and Ive never fed it to a horse that it didn't have results on. Ive found you get a better distribution of weight, as opposed to feeding a large amount of grain and getting a slumpy fat gut. Ive also noticed an improvement in coat conditions and energy levels. For the price, this is a great supplement, A long time favorite!"

"I have been using this supplement on/off on my TB mare for the last 2 years - she was very underweight when I got her and I gave her 2 scoops/day for over a year to help her gain 200+ pounds. Now I still give her one scoop/day to maintain her weight. As a bonus, it gives her coat a great shine."

"I have been using this product for 3 weeks on my new horse. He was about 200lbs under weight and being a Tb was a challenge. He has gained 75lbs in 3 weeks. His coat is so shiny and he looks and feels better. He will never be without this supplament. Love it. He is a picky eater as well and gobbles it right up. Smells great too."

"My horse needed to gain some weight. Increasing the food some didn't help enough. The weight builder is a quality product, not just a bulk builder. Even when not ridden all winter, his body condition still looks like a horse with light work. His mass looks good and so does his coat."

"I have a 15+ year old Arab mix that I purchased for my 12 y/o daughter in December. He came from a rescue farm and while generally healthy was still very underweight. I board him at the rescue facility and have worked closely with the owner on his feed. After reading some of the reviews I figured I had nothing to lose and ordered my first bucket of Weight Builder. We weighed my horse and 2 other the day we started them and within the first 2 weeks saw wonderful results. We're into our second bucket and I had to buy a larger girth for my daughters horse! When our vet came to pull coggins on some of the other horses on the farm she almost pulled Lil Red (she'd done his prior to starting WB) when I told her it was Lil Red she was thrilled with how great he looked. She asked me if she could take pictures for her website as she had pictures of him when he first arrived at the farm. I highly recommend Weight Builder and my vet will be recommending to her clients too!!"
