A Great Option
My 18yo TB has an increasingly worse time in the summer months, with intense reactions to biting insects, general discomfort in humidity, itchy sheath and tail (even though I'm religious about keeping him clean) -- he rubs his tail and makes it very hard to braid for shows. He has developed mild seasonal allergies that come up in late spring and there is some coughing and eye-goop associated with that. The SmartBarn Services reps suggested Spirulina, and he's been on it for almost a month at the regular dose. He's less itchy, allergies are gone (though in fairness this is about when they go away on their own so I can't definitively say it's the Spirulina) and he isn't rubbing his tail. I will definitely be keeping him on it at least until fall, and putting him back on it in the spring. I'm on board for anything that keeps him feeling great -- he is still actively competing and has not been stepped down, so I am in preservation mode bigtime to keep him at his best. This has definitely made a difference for us. It's a little on the strong-smelling side (it smells good and fruity, but strong), but he eats it fine in his breakfast -- he also gets wet beet pulp for breakfast so that's pretty good for getting supplements into him. I haven't given it to him "dry" so can't speak to that.

Works great!
This is my second summer buying Spirulina Pellets for my old mare. She has had seasonal allergies for many years now, and Spirulina is the only thing that helps her goopy eyes. This year, I began giving it to another of my mares, and I'm happy to say that I've had the same experience. It works great for their seasonal allergies and, combined with fly masks, has made them more comfortable. As for palatability, it smells flowery and they don't like the taste or smell. I mix the pellets with sweet feed and Senior and as long as I don't give them the loading dose, they'll eat it. All in all, I'm very happy with the product!

Took some time, but has helped cough/breathing
My 22 yo QH mare suddenly started coughing, noisy shallow breathing, with an increase in breathing rate. This happened in the summer when she was on pasture all the time. It's possibly allergies (we have had a weird, wet humid summer) or an air quality issue, as there is a great deal of construction and earth moving going on in the area.
It got worse in the fall and we put her on clenbuterol for 10 days in early Nov which helped quite a bit but she still was not back to normal. SmartPak recommended this for her issues and sent me some samples. Since she liked the taste I started her on this daily in mid-December along with APF Pro (1 ml every other day with a little beet pulp). I also was giving her Cough Ease syrup before riding, as recommended by my vet. Meanwhile my vet did a BAL test to rule out anything serious. That came back negative for infection, but mild inflammation in the lungs.
She definitely perked up after starting this combination, and it took awhile but now the vet says her lungs sound completely normal. This was approximately 3.5 months after starting the supplements, her improvement has been gradual. She still coughs a little, but has a lot of energy, seems to feel great. I plan on keeping her on this regimen.
I've learned there are a lot of things that can cause respiratory issues. I'm very glad this has helped my horse feel better and hope this information helps others.

Did not work for respiratory issues
I've tried so many things to help my mare's respiratory issues. This just gets added to the long list of what doesn't work for her issue.

Didnt work
My gelding gets really bad sweet itch in the summer. Bought the spirulina pellets off the review of a friend in the Hope's it would help my gelding. We went through 2 bags with no sign of improvement. Will not purchase again for him. He ate it really well though and hes a picky eater.

Great for Allergy Sufferers
Great product! My gelding has seasonal respiratory allergies that result in a runny nose, wheezing and just general discomfort. Since most antihistamines cause him to stop sweating I decided to try the natural route. Within a few weeks all symptoms stopped and he was feeling like his wild self again. He tends to be a picky eater, but seems to have no objections to eating this mixed into his grain. This product is definitely worth giving a try.

Horse wouldn't eat it
I bought this to use for a seasonal cough, based on others' reviews and in comparison to other similar products. My horse will eat just about anything but he wouldn't even touch this. I tried it with my other horse, just to see his reaction and he spit out the first taste. The customer service rep at SP cheerfully refunded my money and told me, which I didn't know, that they offer samples on some of their products. So five stars to SP but only one for the spirulina.

Not for a picky eater
I would have loved to see if this worked for my horses constant rhinitis, but she refuses to eat it. I am going to try a very slow introduction to see if I can get her accustomed to the taste and I will submit another review, but just be aware if your horse is a picky eater, they might not like the taste. Has a strong smell of banana.

Horse got some relief!!!!!!
I feel my Sue has received some help for her coughing. She does still cough but does not have to stop while walking to get her breath. She was dianosed with mucus in her trachea and I just wonder if there is anything else that would work better to dry that up.

Seems to be helping!
My 18 year old mare has had respiratory problems each summer with an exercise related cough and slight runny nose. She has had some mucus discharge as well. These symptoms start up in July and are gone by November. My vet said she has allergies to something that grows at that time. I used Zyrtec (generic) last summer and it helped but did not stop her coughing completely. I did some research (found an online article about algae DHA supplementation done by Purdue University which showed positive results in horses with respiratory distress) and then bought this product. My horse so far has not started her regular coughing but I will wait and see if her coughing starts up in July. She does have less bug bites on her belly. Spirolina (DHA) does improve the immune system in multiple ways and resistance to sweet itch is one of them. I will do a second review as we go through this month and see if the coughing improves.
