Looking for Answers about SmartDark & Handsome®?

My experience tells me that these products are not effective against harse sun exposure such as in the southern states. I accept my horse the way he looks and supplement him with pure flax seeds daily to gloss his coat up the best I can. He is bay and the bottem 6 inches of his tail are blond. I don't worry aboutit any more!

I used this product on my chestnut Crabbet Arabian with flaxen main and tail and my bloody shoulder flea bitten gray Polish Arabian with black main and tail. I didn’t notice a difference in the gray but my chestnuts bleached coat did get dark and rich though his white blond main and tail began to grow in a dark yellow so I switched them to SmartShine; they have only been on it for one week but it seems to be working well as their winter coats shed out. My grays coat looks like he was dipped in pure silver in the sun and the chestnut in gold.

Thanks for your question. SmartDark & Handsome contains paprika, which may contain trace amounts of capsaicin, a substance that is considered forbidden by USEF. Therefore we recommend choosing a paprika-free skin and coat supplement, such as SmartShine Ultra, or that you discontinue feeding SmartDark & Handsome at least 7 days before a competition. In general, we always recommend checking the rulebooks for any organizations under which you compete.

Thanks for your question. It’s important not to make abrupt changes to the diet and management of pregnant mares. For this reason we always recommend seeking your veterinarian’s advice before adding any new supplements to your mare’s diet. SmartDark & Handsome, like many other supplements, has not been specifically evaluated for use in breeding animal, therefore we suggest following your vet’s advice on feeding this supplement. We really wish we could provide a more helpful, detailed answer, but with such precious cargo on board, pregnant mares really do need to be “handled with care,” and they need individualized recommendations from a veterinarian.
