Seeing improvement
Tried a one month supply for my 25 year old mare who was not lying down to rest as much as she used to (should be). After one month's use it seemed like we were seeing a positive change. Now she is on it every day to help her feel more limber.

Seems to Work!
My horse has been on this supplement for a couple months now, and I have noticed a difference! He has arthritis and usually took quite a while to work out of it. Now he comes out of the stall less stiff, working out of it quicker, and VOLUNTARILY working through his back! This is a HUGE accomplishment! Especially good for horses prone to ulcers as well. Much more gentle on the stomach. Highly recommend!

Better than STP
Like this most of the all pain relief I don’t compete this horse at the moment so no big deal for me. It does work way better then the performance version. I see zero results on the performance one!

Works
This just simply works for my 24 y/o appendix. He’s big, and prone to joint pains, as well as the random bang your toe on a stump pains. This is a daily supp for him, and it simply works. I totally recommend.
A little expensive, like everything....
but my picky eater doesn’t hesitate to mow down on it

I bought this for my guy who has navicular hoping it would make him a little more comfortable. It has far surpassed that. He’s like a new horse. I’m very happy with this!

Incredible Results
My severely navicular mare HATES bute.. I thought it would be hard to find a natural alternative - but when I saw this, I got so excited and had to try it. She has been on it for almost 6 months now and I couldn't imagine her off of it. Sometimes she has off days, but thats just her and they are nowhere near as bad as before. After I went through my first bucket I didn't have autoship on at the time, so she was off of it for a week or 2.. I IMMEDIATELY noticed a difference when she wasn't on it. I swear by this, I also love that its natural.. We give them so much man made stuff, it makes me feel so good to be able to give her something natural and easy on her stomach!!

Amazing Stuff!!
I bought this three weeks ago for my 27 year old Draft Horse mare in an act of desperation. We really thought she was running out of time... My mare has been getting progressively more arthritic and uncomfortable on her back legs. She was lying down to rest less and less because getting back up was so difficult for her. Within three weeks, using just one slightly heaped scoop a day, the dose recommended for a 1100 - 1200 pound horse (she is 1800 lbs), she is lying down and getting back up again, no problem. No more grunting and staggering as she gets back to her feet. Yesterday, she voluntarily LOPED into the back pasture for turn out with our other horse. This is HUGE! My mare hasn't voluntarily gone faster than a quick walk in more than 2 years, even when grain is being offered. Her ears are forward, her face looks relaxed and happy, no more grumpy pursed lips...I am so happy for her and highly recommend this product. We still won't be working her, I mean, she IS 27, but wow, just the fact that she can now enjoy her retirement, she is a pleasure to watch.

My senior horse is responding well to Bute Less
I started Bute Less smart pak pellets 5 weeks ago on my 30 year old appy gelding. He has chronic arthritis and I wanted to try and get him off a daily dose of bute. These pellets are giving him more relief than Bute and its much easier on his gut. I would highly recommend this product.

Good supplement
I have fed this to a couple horses over the years. They eat it right up and do well on it. I feed this along with msm to ease the everyday aches and pains of my aging horse.

Was what I was expecting.
I have been using this for years. I always have it on hand in case I am planning a long travel time with my horses or they have an injury that will take time to heal. I like that Bute-Less has more natural ingredients and does not cause any stomach upset. The horses eat it alone or in grain.

Didn't Help My Pony At All
I've been using this product on my pony along with MSM and it hasn't made any difference in her comfort level she also doesn't approve of of the taste 100%. I recommend using plain old yucca.

Great Really Works!!
I love this stuff! It's a great reasonable price and really makes a difference. My horse was starting to get stiff and just glucosamine wasn't helping so I started him on this and he is doing so much better!

This helps my boy diagnosed with arthritis in his front hoof. He also has weak hocks. With this in conjunction with hylaraunic acid keeps him very comfortable.

THIS STUFF WORKS!
My 29 year old gelding who has navicular is like a different horse. I was seriously considering putting my friend of 25 years down this past summer to spare him the harsh Midwest winter. I was desperately searching for some help for him and tried Absorbine Bute-Less. He has been on it for 5 months now and this stuff is amazing. I give him 1 scoop a day and his lameness is pretty well gone. It brings me joy to see the old guy who did not want to even take a step due to the pain occasionally running in the pasture. Try it!

Due to a combination of factors (including difficulty ensuring that supplements were actually being administered at our previous barn), my 22-year-old mare was very stiff, slow and lethargic. She has made a near 180 turnaround and this product is just one of many positive changes that have been made so I am hesitant to give too much credit to any single item. She has been on this supplement for about 6-7 weeks now and definitely "creaks" less and moves more fluidly since starting on this. I actually thought that I couldn't ride my mare anymore and now she's giving (kid) lessons a few days a week and I am back to riding her as well. I'm still contemplating going back to straight MSM because of the respiratory benefits that it offers for a comparable price to this product as she has a slight cough at times and I've had good luck with that product in the past as well. I do think that this supplement does what it is advertised to do, its just too early to tell if it's the ideal fit or not.
I will also add that if you have a picky eater, this seems to be a winner. According to my barn manager, my mare has yet to refuse to eat this and there have been several over the years that have had to be mixed in with applesauce.

Fantastic
Keeps my 25 year old gelding with arthritis sound and comfortable. He can play with his friends, do dressage and jump on this product. Without this, he would probably have to be retired.

Very happy with product and results
Purchased Buteless in July 2017. My gelding was on Bute for arthritis and was doing OK. I gave Buteless a try as I wanted to take him off of the drug as it takes a toll on their system long term. To my amazement he is better on Buteless than he was on Bute. Not only in riding is he traveling more sound... At free will in the field playing.

Does it work? Hope so, but who knows for sure!
My horse has been on this for about a month. First of all, I'm thrilled that he eats it! He is picky. As a dressage horse, I'm picky about movement, and to be honest, he is pretty sound to begin with, just stiff sometimes. I can't say for sure whether he is more comfortable, he is good some days, so-so other days, and a lot depends on his turnout which varies. He is certainly not worse. Yucca really helped my other old horse who was more dramatically/consistently stiff, so I feel it's probably making my horse feel more comfortable whether I can see it or not. For the price it seems like a good risk.

Great Product!
I use this product for my 26 year old QH/TB cross. She has arthritis in her back right leg and has trouble moving around some days. But on this product she is 100% sound!!! I suggest this product to others! She is also a picky eater but loves this stuff!
