Keeps weight on!
Dr Geoff Tucker changed my horses life. She is a 25 year old hard keeper, very few teeth and PPID. I tried everything to keep weight on her- beet pulp, calf manna, bio sponge for squirts, supplements. Everything. Every winter she had the squirts. It would freeze on her tail and hocks. It made made her miserable which made me sad.
Dr. T gave the no grain challenge. She gets 1lb SBM- dehulled and oil removed. Pure protein, 1lb coolstance and alfalfa pellets to make a warm mash; split into 3 meals a day.
She loves the coolstance so much. Because she wasn’t under weight I only give a pound a day and she has maintained all winter. So the bag lasts 3 months. Her poop has never been ‘apples’ in the the 5 years I’ve had her; until this diet. I waited 6 months to write a review. Grain free has been so good for all our horse but for those that need the calories CoolStance will always be my go to. It’s the only brand with no added ag. byproducts or grain.

Great for skin allergies
My 28 year old gelding has always suffered from hypersensitivity to insects resulting in hives, mane and tail rubbing and just miserable summers here in FL. He’s been on Cool Stance w Medicine Bag Complete mineral/vitamin supplement for two months along with daily grooming and his skin allergies have disappeared. No more crusty mane and tail and his midline has completely healed.

Great fat source for senior horses
I was happy to find this available here. My hoof care person recommended it to me for my senior mare (33 year old Arabian) since I wanted to stop feeding bagged senior feed. I give a little to my other older geldings too (mixed into their supplements bucket) and it makes their coats shine. A little goes a long way.

Horses love it!
I have been using Coolstance for over a year, and my 2 love it. It is a great way to get water in the horses and for my old [almost 30] guy, it gives him an easy to eat meal.

Fabulous for my allergy prone ottb
I have had to create a personalized grain free diet for my ottb mare who is allergic to soy, rice bran, and oats. There are zero commercial feeds that don't contain those things, she is a hard keeper, and a hot kind of horse who needs to be on low starch. Since switching from rice bran as our source of fat and extra calories to cool stance, she has filled out and her coat has become radiant, she has been calm and focused, and she has been overall incredibly healthy. She eats the recommended amount in addition to hay pellets and vitamins/minerals and stays healthy and glossy.

used it for years
Horse came on it and I have continued it because it was nonGMO and has good fats. A lot of people thinks it smells great. I do add a great deal of water to it and it expands well. Have not had a rancid bag. I do add a cup of a grain concentrate now and then to ensure she is getting all essentials but it is not needed. Just seems strange to be feeding coconut to a horse.

Horses love it, great results
My 31 year old gelding has done so well on this with his senior feed. It complements our high calcium grass in Kentucky <3

My Gypsy Gelding is shiny!
I thought I would try this product as a carrier for my gelding who is a pig.. We needed something that would blow up so he felt he was eating more then he was... and it needed to be super tasty so that I could hide the supplements in there.. He LOVES it... and 4oz of this blows up into a huge portion (or at least he thinks it is).
