We have had the privilege of working with Jim in the testing of the Green Mountain line of horse supplements. Having such a variety of horses here from mustangs to thorobreds and everything inbetween, I have had a good chance to test the products out for taste and appeal and results.

We have had some TB mares that we bred and put to pasture last summer to early fall. I went to check them and found one mare had lost alot of weight and was really skinny. I brought her home and started her on a regular feed program along with the body conditioner program and for two months I closely checked her progress. Within that two month period she put on 150 pounds. She also had a very healthy filly in the 10th week that I had brought her home. What a surprise! I also use the body conditioner on some of the horses I have in for training. I like using it on them because feed doesn't have to increase while in heavy training, but their weight stays.

I have also used the Calmative on a few horses that have needed the edge off. The one extreme crazy case that I tried was my old steer wrestling horse. This horse is really "hot" when using him. I used to use 2 c.c. of ace when I started him in training for steer wrestling. I took him to Florida this spring for a young cowboy to use but I knew I had to keep him calm so we could work with them both. Three days in advance I started him on Calmitive and kept him on it for a week. We started working with them, what a difference! The horse stayed very controllable and paid attention. The following week we took him off Calmative and now he only gets it when going to a rodeo. This is one of the greatest natural supplements to work on a nervous horse I have ever tried. I also use it on a few high strung horses I have for training. It takes off the edge without affecting the horses thought process.

Thank you Green Mountain for the opportunity to try your product "Super Horse". I have been a user of your vitamin/mineral Premix for horses for several years with positive results and believed that Super Horse was worth trying. I used Super Horse on two horses. The first was a 22 year old stallion, who is a "hard keeper". Within one week I noticed his manure becoming moist, denser, and there was less of it. During the second week he also started shedding lots of old winter hair before the other "younger" horses on the farm.

The second horse was a five year old stallion, that would act "colicky" during stressful situations ( stressful situations for him are weather change, cycling mares, hauling and early/late feedings). He has not had any colicky incidents, and the weather has made several changes, and mares are beginning their spring cycles. Also, his manure has gone through the same changes as the other horse, and he is shedding more rapidly than his two stable mates.

Thank you Green Mountain for the opportunity to try your product Stride Free. I have been a user of your products for several year swith positive results and believed Stride Free was worth trying. I used Stride Free on the senior citizen. Dillon is a 30 + year old gelding. He has been retired from riding for about ten years now. About a year ago, his arthritis and years of wear and tear and hard work really began to take its toll. He would "shuffle" in and out of the barn everyday. Picking and trimming his feet became heart breaking. He became frail. As a last resort we began using bute on him. He stopped shuffling, stumbling, and most of all seemed comfortable.

After two weeks on Stride Free we discontinued the bute. After two additional weeks his mobility and comfort level have not been compromised. Most of all he gets all this relief without drugs.

I will be using Stride Free on Dillon and the other horses in our barn that have strenuous athletic schedules. This is a product that really works.

Thanks again Green Mountain.

I have had standard bred horses most of my life and have used numerous medications and remedies to improve horse hooves. Most recently I had a 3 year old gelding with terrible hooves, poor growing and easily cracked. Green Mountain recommended their Hoof-Beat as a daily supplement, within a month I began to see improvement and after six months the hooves were healthy and growing. I highly recommend Hoof-Beat from Green Mountain.

In August of 2006, Leo, my 24 year old quarter horse gelding was diagnosed with arthritis in his right rear leg at the knee. It x-rayed severe enough to send him into retirement. I've owned Leo his entire life. I can't count the number of individuals who have roped, team penned, and done cattle round ups on him.

After much personal research I started him on Stride Free, a product of Green Mountain Nutritional Services, Inc. Attica, NY. Within two weeks of starting use I noticed Leo cavcting in the pasture with the other horses like old times. We kept on using Leo lightly during the fall of 2006.

In the spring of 2007 Leo turned 25. My 11 year old granddaughter begged me to use him in competition. In July at the Ontario County Fair she entered Leo in six game events (barrels, poles, etc.) and placed 2nd in all 6 events. In August at a large junior youth rodeo in P.A. she and Leo entered five speed events (barrels, poles, etc.) and placed 2nd through 4th in all of them. In September at an excellent game show at the Hemlock Fairgrounds she and Leo placed well in all 5 speed events. With that I've retired Leo from competition but not from sensible use.

Finally, at the diagnosis of his athletic problem, I fully expected to just keep Leo comfortable. I never dreamed he'd be turning cattle, barrels, poles and a whole lot of heads.

P.S. Leo is like many horses who don't like powdered additives in their feed. To counter act this I first drip a small amount of black strap molasses in his grain bucket. I then mix Stride Free in his grain and pour in his grain bucket. He never fails to consume all !

I wanted to let you know about my very recent experience with Green Mountain . My draft pony, age 23 yrs, has been having bowel movements with excessive fluid. It wasn’t diarrhea and usually wasn’t even loose manure but his tail has been an absolute mess for the past 7 or 8 months (I need to mention that he is gray/white!). I have washed his tail several times over the last several months only to have it soiled within a day. He has had a complete blood panel done with no issues found.

I purchased your Super Horse Probiotic mix on November 20th, 2009. I washed his tail again on November 26th. I am happy to report that his tail is still clean and white! I never expected to see it work so fast! Thank you very much for providing this product. I look forward to trying your Stride Free next for the pony and the 2 other geriatric horses I have!
