This product is amazing. I have a 35-year-old Appaloosa gelding who has severe arthritis in his left knee and hind end. On top of that, he gets ulcers if I give him Equioxx regularly, and has become a very finicky eater in his old age. He gets Tribute Constant Comfort (both pellets and block) to try to prevent the ulcers, but still cannot get Equioxx more than about twice per week.
On January 4, 2023, my farrier came and my horse was in so much pain that we could barely get him out of the stall to trim his hooves. He had to stand on a thick pad in both the front and the rear while his hooves were getting trimmed, but still he could barely pick up his feet. My farrier gave me a jar of the Formula 707 Hemp pellets that another one of her customers had given to her. I had nothing to lose, so I tried them. Literally, within one week my horse was noticeably better with walking, wanting to come out of his stall, and eating more consistently (and just eating MORE, which he needed).
My farrier came back on February 14, 2023. It was a pleasant day, so I took off my horse's blanket and turned him out (indoors) to get him moving, let him roll, etc. before the farrier came. He was full of the joy of life (NO BLANKET!! YEA!) and came BARRELING out of the stall, cantering around and doing his best attempt at bucking!! My farrier arrived just in time to see all of this activity and was AMAZED. AND, we were able to get my horse into the cross-tie stall to have his feet trimmed...no standing pads necessary!
Honestly, the ONLY DIFFERENCE in this horse's care was the addition of one scoop of the Formula 707 pellets to his food in two of his three meals per day. Also, he is now back on FULL FEED! He simply was not interested in eating that much for several months prior to starting him on the Formula 707 Hemp pellets.
I am delighted with this product and will have BOTH of my horses on it for the rest of their lives, as well as any other horses that I might own in the future. My farrier says she is going to try it with her old horse, too.
Thank you, Formula 707 for this excellent product.
