Game changer for my daughter's horse!
Purchased this for my daughter's extremeley slow and behind the leg quarter horse. Worked perfectly. It gave him energy without being spooky or hot. Forward enough to win her dressage classes, but calm enough to still do hunters. The only issue with this is the horse HATES the taste. I have to soak it and make a slurry and pour it over his feed. Even with that, I will probably keep him on it for life.

A Total Waste of Money
I ordered this for my ultra lazy Oldenberg and it has done nothing for his energy level. I upped the dosage and still nothing. Don't waste your money on this stuff.

So far, so good! More energy!
My 7 year old mare's annual bloodwork came back with some moderately low numbers for her red blood counts. My Vet doesn't like all of the iron in a lot of energy supplements and the numbers were not bad enough for him to write a prescription. After reading the reviews I decided to try this and at a month in she definitely seems to have more stamina.

No difference at all
I have had my thoroughbred on this for 2 months and noticed no difference while on it and after. Thanks to Smartpak's guarantee program I got my money back.

Clear results!
My heavy dressage horse doesn't get fed much other than a balancer and free choice hay. We are always trying to pep him up (gallops in the open before rides or jump days to keep him fresh), but we still struggle. I put him on this with skeptical expectations. About a week into the supplement I began to see a CLEAR change in my horse. He was very forward and even playful during work a few times. I was shocked. Very very effective. I think because he tends to be so heavy he is limited in his feeding options and even with a balancer he probably was still not getting the proper energy supply. This is the most effective supplement I have ever used.

Love it!
I ride a 10 year old Cleveland Bay. He's very big bodied and is lazy. He is used for low level dressage and trail riding. We've been feeding him these pellets for about 3-4 months now. I've noticed a huge difference in his energy level and his attitude. He's always in the front of the pack now on trail rides. His whole demeanor is perkier.

High quality product with good results
I have had my WB on this product for several months, and I definately have seen an improvement in his energy level. He has a tendency to be very lazy, but since he's been on the supplement, his energy level has been up, and he's game to do his job! He's very picky about flavors, but had no problem with this supplement.

no noticable difference
I have a very unmotivated horse and I thought maybe there was something lacking in his diet. After using this product for nearly two months I didn't see any real difference. I don't feel that this is a bad product just wasn't what my horse needs at this time.

Great push, no heat!
I have an OTTB who came off the track in October and is just plain lazy! I could barely get him to canter and he had no impulsion over fences at all. After a week or so of smart energy he started having more energy without becoming spooky or hot! It was just the right push he needed! And he ate it right out of my hand the first day without questioning it!

SEEMS TO BE BENEFICIAL
My mare has been on this product for about 6 weeks. It seems to be helpful as she overall has more energy and her stamina has also improved. Even with this I have a lazy horse(in the ring)!!! If you exhale she thinks its time to walk. It appearently tastes fine, as she eats it well. The supplement works but my horses temperment is what it is!

Pony won't eat it
I've had my quarter pony mare on this supplement for a few months now. AT FIRST- she ate them ok. Did help her energy level some and was happy. Recently, she'll eat all of her supplements and grain EXCEPT this one! She is not typically a picky eater. I have tried putting corn oil on the supplements and still doesn't help. It does work- if you can get your horse to eat it :-/

Finally!
Although everyone at my stables laughed at me when I said I needed an ENERGY supplement for my lazy horse, I'm please I purchased this product! My mare certainly has a heightened sense of alertness and energy. This did not make her spooky or hot headed, either. She has more stamina for our long trail rides and I feel like she tolerates the arena more! Great stuff.

So far, so good!
I have had my mare on this for about a month and I noticed a difference. She is much more forward and willing to pick up the canter and has more "pep" to her step now. The major difference was how she is when she jumps, she used to be sluggish over fences and jump flat. Now she is excited and has scope over fences. So far I'm extremely happy with this product.

Worked great!
We bought this supplement for our pokey gelding, and it worked great! He is more responsive to the aids, and seems happier in his work. A happy horse = a happy rider! We're pleased! It also has not made him remotely spooky or hard to handle, just more willing to go forward.

Great product!
I have a very laid-back hunter pony who seemed to struggle with endurance and sustainability. I tried this product not knowing what else to do, and in 3 weeks, I had a new horse. Not hot or over-excited, he just kept the canter without breaking, and generally felt stronger and more relaxed in his work. I suggest starting out with the minimum suggested dose and letting your horse's behavior guide how much to increase. Several other owners in the barn have since asked me for the name of this product !

Good product, great price!
My sluggish pony has been on this supplement for 3 months now. It didn't help as much I hoped, but there was improvement, so I am keeping her on the supplement. Great price, much less expensive than most energy supplements out there, and I LOVE how it comes pre-measured for every day :)

Senior TB Horse Going Strong
My 27 year old TB gelding needed a red cell supplement per my Vet. He is a picky eater and refused the red cell liquid supplement. I tried this energy supplement and his red cell count improved AND his energy was great. He eats the supplement with no problem. He runs up hills and across fields again. I would recommend this product for anyone with a horse that needs more energy. Your vet should check your horse's red and white cell levels first of course.

Really works!
I have battled with weight control and energy issues with my Insulin Resistant Lusitano gelding for the past 6 years (since I bought him). I tried Thyo-L, keeping him off pasture during spring and summer months or any time the grass was growing. About a month ago I added SmarPak IR and a bit later added the SmartEngergy. My boy has dropped about 100 lbs. (though still has the fat pockets at his shoulders) and he has much more energy. To be fair, I also added some alfalfa pellets to my local hay, so I'm not entirely sure which of these additions gave the most results. My horse loves the flavor of both SmarPak supplements and he is much more "awake". He even started jumping at noises that he has been exposed to since he's lived here! I have a different horse...the one I've always wanted! By the way, with my Vets okay I have slowly removed him from the Thyro-L.

Great Product
My horse was short on energy. I tried other products to increase his energy but nothing seemed to work. Then I saw this product online. My horse is also insulin resistant so I decided to run this by my vet before trying it. She said it was perfectly safe so I decided to try it. What a difference it has made. My horse is a 3 day eventer and has placed in the top 3 in his class all year long. I highly recommend
This product.

Smart Energy Pellets
I have noticed a huge difference since i started feeding Smart Energy pellets. My daughters jumper pony, who prefers to move along at a very slow tempo unless she is jumping, has certainly moved it up a notch on the flat and over fences. Since feeding these pellets , My daughter and her pony have only come home from shows with Reserve and Champion ribbons. This supplement has made a huge difference and I highly reccomend it.

GO without WACKO
6 YO Gelding Luken for Blue Skies just didn't have a gas pedal. He'd be good for about 30 minutes dressage training a few days a week. Get to four days in a row of hard riding, and forget about it! He wasn't naughty, but he sure wasn't going forward, either.
Enter SmartEnergy. Regular dose, 7 days. Today? Different horse. "Harley" has a GO, he rode hard for over 45minutes, and had more to give. Whitetail deer sprinted behind his arena, and he barely flicked an ear. No spook, and still sustained energy.
If you need more energy from your horse, but don't want to peel him off the stall walls? This is the product for you!

Just awesome
My event horse needed extra "oomph". This was exactly what was needed. He had more energy from the first time I added this to his feed. Once again, great job Smartpak!

I have a new horse!
I decided to try SmartEnergy because my Irish Sport Pony was sluggish and "lazy". People didn't like riding him because he needed so much leg to keep going. I know that's not his real nature, so after having him vetted, I decided to try this product. I was looking for something that would give him more stamina without getting him hot, and that's just what this product did. After a little more than one month, I now have a pony who is quicker in transitions, and who now canters without looking for excuses to break. He is just as happy, -no change in moods, only more active. Love the product!

Works!
My 15 year old Saddlebred gelding used to get sluggish in the summer heat. Not anymore! He is now more than happy to gallop and play for most of an afternoon. This gives him the extra boost he needs to act like his old self.
