Requires water
I bought this to add cool energy to my OTTB's feed, which it did. It mixes pretty well with water, but I won't likely buy it again because it happens to be too much "powder" in his mixture. I prefer pelleted foods for his "grain" mixture. Hard to say if the other benefits they claim occurred because he already gets other feed & supplements that worked for skin, coat, hoof health.

Effective Multi-use Natural Supplement
Local chain feed stores have not been willing to carry CoolStance Copra after several requests. Our locally-owned feed stores disappeared about 5 years ago. The feed stores two hours away are frequently out of stock. I find that most of what I need for my horses in this small town is cheerfully dropped at my door by a delivery truck driver. I had the hay cart dolly waiting at the gate for him so he did not have to carry the 44 pound box to the door, which was appreciated! The order arrived on schedule.
I am so happy SmartPak carries CoolStance! It has improved hoof and coat condition and helped with weight gain and digestion in a senior horse. It is a good way to add additional protein to a timothy hay diet for horses who cannot have alfalfa and soy due to allergies and because alfalfa and soy are most likely GMO (genetically modified) and/or contaminated with Round-Up weed killer, unless they are organically grown.
My horses ate it right away. I started with small amounts as instructed. I find that I do not have to feed the full recommended amount to see results. I make adjustments based upon how each horse looks and feels. The way I feed it is by adding it to soaked timothy hay pellets along with organic whole food supplements and herbs such as flax seed, chia seed, sunflower seed, sea salt, rose hips, kelp, dandelion greens, milk thistle seed, etc. which vary with the seasons. I call it the horse food buffet!

Has done wonders on my older gelding
Thank you so much for carrying this product! It has helped my older gelding gain weight when I add it to his senior pellets! I have only used it for a couple months and he is also feeling better with more energy too!

Great Product, Now More Convenient to Get
I've been feeding coolstance for about a year to my young WBs. One has shivers and is managed through diet. He gets 1 lb of Coolstance at night, as well as 1/2 lb flax and a ration balancer. My horses look incredible and are building beautiful topline despite only a few riding sessions a week. As for palatibility, my horses cannot wait to dig in and nicker when they see me walking down with their after dinner snack. I love it and will keep it as an excellent addition of protein and fat for my youngsters.
This is not a fortified feed and is not meant to be fed as such. A complete vitamin/mineral supplement is needed to balance the diet. A high calcium food like alfalfa is also helpful to balance the inverted cal/phos ratio in this.

Horse is not a fan
My horse will not touch this stuff. Tried feeding it for a week and she refused to eat. Wish she liked it, was needing a low NSC feed.

I am so pleased with the cool stance and my pony loves it!! Within just a few days we saw amazing improvement in the laminitis. She was actually running and jumping and kicking which she hadn’t done in several years! And customer service is the absolute best!!! I will continue to purchase only from Smartpak!
Thank you Smartpak for providing this awesome product!!!

I absolutely love this product!
I have been feeding Cool Stance for several years and love the product and what it does for my horses. I am thrilled that Smart Pak is now carrying it as I was having to travel 3 hours to get it from a distributor and was paying the same price!

So happy that this is available
Thank you for carrying this. It is not available in my area and I have a horse with PSSM. I have been using beet pulp to mix in his supplements but this is so much better.All of my horses just love it. I make it into a porridge for them and they nicker for it.

Great Product!
Works to help add weight to my Shetland that has Cushings and had been very picky about his feed. He has gained 7 lbs in 1 month and cleans his dish right up every time now!

Wonderful Product
I feed Coolstance to my two young WBs, and they look incredible. One came to me in rough shape, and this has entirely turned her around in about a month. She looks incredible. Her hindquarters have filled in, her neck isnt so stringy, and her ribs are covered. In a month! I'm confident that the protein and fat is what's keeping both of my youngsters well muscled and sparkling. It is cheaper on SmartPak than in my local feed store, so I am so excited to see you guys carrying it!

LOVE THIS !!!
I feed copra to my FEI dressage horse that has PSSM. It is wonderful, he loves it and I have not had any issues with his PSSM. IT has become difficult to get in my area so I am beyond thrilled that smartpak is carrying it.

Amazing product!
We have been using coolstance copra for 3 years now! I am so excited to see smartpak bring it on board as sometimes its hard to find at local feed stores. This is an amazing product. Helps keep weight on, coats look amazing, and its low in sugars for those "needy" horses. Added bonus, feed it as a mash and supplements don't get left at the bottom of the bucket aka no $$$ just dumped on the ground. He have had a total of 12 horses through the years be on this as their grain base, usually feed each horse 1-2 cups dry (then add water, will absorb twice its amount in water) depending on their need and have not had one horse object it.
