So far so good
TL; DR: if your horse has constant nasal discharge (not an active infection), try this!
My horse has always suffered from seasonal allergies and constantly has a runny nose. It would cause him to toss his head occasionally and he always wanted to use anything or anyone as a scratching post. He also has a little bit of eye gunk/watery eyes as a result. He was otherwise fine and it didn't hinder his performance. A few months ago, he came down with a case of sinus infection. After a round of antibiotics, he still had occasional thick yellow nasal discharge. We scoped him and X-rayed him and the vets found nothing remarkable, just inflammation that may have been from previous tubing/scoping. Anyway, I decided to look up supplements that could potentially help with respiratory issues and came across spirulina. I was contemplating between spirulina and SmartBreathe/SmartBreathe Ultra and decided to try spirulina first since my horse doesn't have any coughing issues (he coughs once or twice when we first start trotting but it's nothing the vet is worried about). Welp, less than a week in, all the yellow discharge stopped and his eyes weren't as gunky as usual. He still has a slight runny nose but it's noticeably better than how it usually is this time of the year. We are only about a month in but I'm certain the spirulina is doing something and is not just placebo effect. I mentioned this to our vet during a recent checkup and she thought it was a good idea too and wanted me to keep her posted on how he does for the rest of the spring/summer season. So far, we are loving this product, which my horse seems to really enjoy (he's not a picky eater).

Good quality
I bought this to keep my mare on spirulina when I transitioned her off of SmartBreath Ultra. It seems to ease her constant allergy-induced post nasal drip, and she happily eats it straight.

Stopped the itch
I have 2 horses that rub their tails out every year. Tried this and they both stopped itching! It does have a strange smell, the algae I guess, but they ate it.

Picky Mare Struggles to Eat it.
My picky AQHA/FQHR mare who has heaves, struggles to eat this. I changed to stalling during the day (hot weather, no access to shade in paddock). If left in her stall she will eat it. I've gotten a better system down and she will eat it better now, but she's been on it over a month now with just a small decrease in coughing.

Smart Spirolina
With the dry weather and the heavy pollen, my young Warmblood started having some nasal drainage and slapping his ears back and forth. No signs of illness, so my vet recommended wetting his sawdust bedding and adding an antihistamine for possible seasonal allergies. Within 24 hours of the first dose his symptoms lessened and after only 2 days on this product, his nose was clean and dry, and the ear shaking stopped! He is a much happier boy! Wonderful quick results with an all-natural product, at a very affordable price! Thank you SmartPak!

Easy to feed and great for seasonal allergies
I have been using this with my miniature horse who has seasonal respiratory and skin allergies. It has helped him significantly with clearing up his skin and his nasal drainage. Easy to feed in pellet form.

Works great!!!
Got this for my gelding that has some allergy issues. At first, he didnt want to eat it, but he gobbles it easy now. After about a week, he no longer has the mild roaring and has an easier time when I ride.
