Our 5 horses do not have access to pasture so we want to be sure they are getting all the vitamins they need. Source is a fairly inexpensive way to do so.

My Mare needs kelp to keep her thyroid level and I use Source instead of plain granulated kelp, which I used before, as the Source has a lot more in it. So far it has worked.

I have used Source for my horses in the past. In recent years my hay has come from the same farmer and has been very high quality alfalfa mix. Given this year's poor hay growing conditions and the change from alfalfa mix (unavailable) to grass hay (I was plenty glad to get it) I added source back to their diet. I trust this product.

I don't know why I didn't try this product sooner. I had been using the industry standard for my horse's hooves and wasn't really seeing much of a result. My farrier had great things to say about this product, so i decided to give it a try. My horse's hooves are stronger, his coat is brilliant. Overall amazing product, a simple solution for a variety of coat and skin conditions, or an all inclusive dietary supplement.

I had heard and read raving reviews for Source. All about how it improved horses health and overall general appearance. I had both my horses on it for 2-3 months and never noticed a difference. Most supplements you can see differences within 2 months, but not with this and the palatibility was poor, had to wet my horse's feed down in order for them to eat it. I am going to try Vita Plus instead. :(

For about six months, I had been unhappy with my horse's coat, and after doing some natural health research, came across SOURCE and decided to try it... My Quarab mare's spring coat came in with a dazzling sheen and I have never seen her look this good... wow!!
I switched over to the pellets with my last shipment since I can't add powder to her pelleted feed, she won't touch it, but the product is great if you can get it into their system :D

A year a ago I decided to take my 10 YO TB M off of grain and to pull her shoes. As soon as I pulled her shoes, she was foot sore/lame. I started her on MVP multi vite, Source and Grand Hoof. A year later she goes for trail rides through the rocky northern Rhode Island woods, walks on pavement barefoot, and the vet said that her feet are "rock hard". Her feet are now a dark ebony color,. She is not crazy about the taste of Source, she made the flip lip up face the first time I gave it to her,
I have since changed to Source Focus HF, so she can get her hoof stuff and source in one shot.

I absolutely love this product my horse is much more bright eyed, the new coat that is coming in is very shiny and healthy looking, it made a big difference for his skin, its no longer flaky and itchy and his hair grows much faster. He has no problem eating it, well he never was a picky eater, I'm definitely recommending this product to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.

I have all three of my horses on this after I read that abcesses can be linked to low levels of iodine. Last winter I had one horse who had 6 weeks off due to an abcess. This year they are all fine. It may be the source and it may not but its a great product and cant hurt.

We noticed our ASB getting somewhat dull and had some white-hairs popping up. Some people said it could be from a copper deficiency, but whatever it was that he was not getting from the pasture and his grain, he got from Source! His white hairs were gone, and his coat gleamed better than ever. My friend started using it on her pasture-pet horses with bad hooves and their hooves started getting noticeably stronger, and healthier looking. This is a great all-around supplement! Not for picky eaters though!!

LOVE Source!! I have used this product since I was in single digits. WHere I used to take lessons as a child, they had their horses on it. I went to another place for lesson, they used. Ever horse I have owned, every customer I have had, I put on Source. It equals out the vitamins that are missed by the hay/grass/grain. Health coat, health mane/tail, gleam in the hrose's eye. I can NOT say enough about this product

My Pinto got a nasty sunburn this past summer and so I went to the web for an answer...one person mentioned that their horse's tendency to sunburn went away when she started using Source. So, I decided to try it. He has not sunburned again but I also purchased a fly sheet with a neck cover and he has now grown in his winter coat...it seems to have helped create a more luxurious coat than he had last year, which was the first winter I had him. I also give him flax or coconut supplements so they could be helping the coat to. At any rate it's not expensive so I'll keep him on it and see what happens next summer.

My gelding has been on Source for two shipments. I haven't noticed a huge difference yet. I heard that Source is very effective on hoof quality, but I haven't seen notable results yet. I like that he's getting all of the micronutrient's in a palatable, easily fed manner. I have high hopes for this product.

My mare came back to us from a lease with her coat bleached and her skin broken out from her severe fly allergy (as she had been left uncovered). I was heartbroken to see her in such condition. I added Source and within days everything began to clear up and within 2 weeks she was pretty much back to normal. It's a wonder supplement. And at such an affordable price, you can't afford NOT to add it to your supplement plan. LOVE it.

One of my horses seems to have a problem with sores developing on his front fetlocks every year in the fall and winter. I don't know what causes it, but everything I've tried to heal them up seems to work at first, then the sores come back - same place every time. If I use the same product to heal them up again, it doesn't work - I have to use something else. The sores came back again this year and I started feeding Original Source along with using stuff directly on the sores. They healed up and I quit using stuff on the sores. They are still healed up so far! I hope this trend continues! Time will tell if Source does the trick for him in keeping these sores from coming back at all. He eats it right up - as well as one of my mares.
However, my other mare has decided that she will not eat any more powder at all. Not even the powder that forms from handling her pelleted feed that she loves! So, I've switched to the Source pellets instead - she eats those without any problem at all.
