My mare does not object to this supplement in her grain -But I am not sure cost and effective wise it is better than the intramuscular injectable series sold and recommended by my vets

A great product to help prolong joint issues
I purchased smartflex senior herbfree to help aid in prolonging any joint issues my horse my encounter in the future. He will be 17 this year. I am a firm believer in being pro active in providing joint supplements for both my horse and dog in efforts to prolong any joint issues they may encounter as they get older.

Unfortunately horse didn't eat pellets
Would have liked to give this a try but unfortunately my guy wouldn't eat it , which is odd as I've never had a problem with him not eating supplements before .
LOVE smartpak and all of the other SmartPaks but sadly this was a no go for us :(
Hoping to find something similar that he will eat ! Luckily this was a free months worth from equine affaire so no money lost , just wish he would've ate it so I could see if it worked !

Picky eater prefers the herb-free formula
I had previously been feeling the Senior Supplement but my gelding decided he did not like the taste. I switched to the herb-free formula and now he's cleaning up his supplements again and not missing out on the great benefits that supports aging horses.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT!
This is the absolute best senior joint supplement I have ever tried for my horses. All of them have stayed sound and comfortable, even on my steep hill turn out. I am very pleased with this product. It is affordable, palatable, and effective!

Senior herb pellets
I give these to my 24 year old gelding tip help him with arthritis to make him feel better. I do show him every so often and these are lethal to use.

Moving better
My mare has been on it a bit over a month. She previously foundered a few times, and got a tick disease 3 years ago that left her super arthritic, and had to retire her. She would just shuffle slowly, but she is walking better now. Still cant go faster than that, but just glad she is a bit more comfortable. Will really be able to tell if it's made a difference when I trim her.

magic potion!
the smart flex senior was added after Bill Harvey (the Best Farrier in the World) noted a stiffness in my walkers' left rear leg. the herb-free mix has been easy to administer and has put the glide back in my ride!

Seems to be working
Bought this after much confusion as to what my best option was. Was very pleased with the phone help I got and it seems to be helping my pony, who is not a senior, but does have joint issues. He's loooking very sound right now

Less creaky
I started my 20 yr old TB gelding on Smart Pak Senior Flex pellets and He seems to be more comfortable. Supplements don't do any good if the horse won't eat them, but he cleans them up unlike other things I have tried.

Changed my horse!
My boy was creaking and cracking even on another joint supp. After a month I watched him gallop in the field and under saddle he was happy to go forward.

Max has never felt nor performed better
Max was a show horse in his younger years, and somehow fell into the hands of the Amish. His teenage joints were a little worn out when I bought him, so I called on SmartPak to help us. I had Max on Smart Flex Senior but changed him to the Herb-Free version due to drug restrictions at horse shows (The Herb-Free version does not have Devils Claw in it). We actually believe he is performing better than before, but as always, we are thrilled with the results that we see when we use SmartPak Products.

Older horse has some pep in her step
This is pretty good stuff. We have a 23 yo mare that always snap, crackles and pops when she walks. The sounds from coming from her joints are much less frequent and a lot less noticeable. She seems more comfortable.

Slight Difference
I just finished my first month having my mare on the supplements, and she definitely seems more loose and willing to run more in the turnout, but I'm still experiencing some stiffness while under saddle. Maybe after some more time she will show more improvement.

No longer Stiff or Sore
Maddie has always started a ride out a little stiff and a few months ago started getting sore, sometimes even limping. After two months of the SmartFlex Senior Herb Free Pellets she is moving much better. The days of being stiff and sore have all but disappeared!

A little early
It's still a little early to tell as we are just getting into our second month using this. It seems like Cassie is picking up her feet better and moving somewhat better but i've also noticed that her hind pasterns are starting to pop more, where as, it wasn't on the tight joint. I do love that it has prebiotics and probiotics in it, it seems to have cleared up her diarrhea. I'll give it another month to see where it leads us.

Seems to work, but powdery
Have used this for a couple of months and although it is winter and my 15YO driving mini is not in work now, he does seem to be more playful and I have seen him bucking, which I didn't see before. So we'll see what happens when work resumes. I started this because he is arthritic in his hocks and I hope that this, along with show-time support will help us continue to show in a low level environment.
The one manufacturing problem that I notice is that although I am purchasing pellets, there is quite a bit of powder in it. Since I'm feeding a mini, I have to reduce the dose and when I try to scoop my 1/2 scoop, I never get just pellets--it's always pellets and powder. Thus I'm not sure of the accuracy of the dosing. I understand this may come from shipping, but I also get other pellets and they do not pulverize this easily. Perhaps you could consider making this in powder?
An additional request--would you consider packaging smaller sizes? I have a mini and to try out a supplement, or treat for a short-term condition (e.g. Red Cell pellets), I end up buying a 5 lb. container and end up not being able to use 95% of it. I know no one else who uses them, so it's a waste. Perhaps that could be a special order situation?

Brought my older horse back to life
My older horse was stiff and off. He has navicular and is retired, but I wanted to make him more comfortable. After three weeks in this stuff, he is cantering around, swapping leads! He's NEVER done that. I'm very pleased. He wouldn't eat it the first day, so I had to break the dose into am & pm feelings. He's now eating it all at once.
