Excellent improvement on SmartFlex Rehab
My 13 y/o paint mare injured her knee and was diagnosed with a chip and beginning arthritis. Within 14 days of starting SmartFlex Rehab, the swelling and soreness in her knee had improved. After 45 days, she was sound again. I'm keeping her on this product due to fantastic results and I would definitely recommend it. She's a picky eater, but gobbles this right up.

Amazing results!
I started our horse on this product about 2 and a half months ago. He had been struggling with regular work during us trying to keep ribs in between chiropractor visits while. We were building muscle to hold ribs where they belong.
Meanwhile he was very sore in his back.
I see a huge results in his recovery. I also in the past had use this product on another horse with a hock issue and has great results.

Supreme Product!
We have a 21 year old retired TB broodmare who has fought ongoing issues with arthritis for years. Since staring Queenie on SmartFlex Rehab Pellets she has had a brighter expression and has even been able to trot and canter across our pasture with so much more freedom. We know her arthritis is a downhill battle but this product has been the only one we've found that has given her relief. Thanks SmartPak!!

So Far So Good!
Got this 3 weeks ago for my thoroughbred mare who sustained an incomplete, nondisplaced saggital fracture of the pastern. Typically, my mare is a very picky eater, but gobbles this supplement up with the rest of her grain and multivitamin. Right now, I'm not sure how well this supplement is helping her fracture heal, as she has a heap of bandages on that leg, but it at least gives me some peace of mind that it is helping her stay comfortable throughout the duration of her stall rest. Time will only tell and we will see how well the supplement helps her heal when we do Penny's re-exam of that leg within a few months.

Amazing results
My mare has been on the Rehab pellets for 10 Days now. I started her on this supplement due to a Deep digital flexor tendon injury. I wanted her off the NSAIDS. I am truly impressed. No heat, no edema , no discomfort. She is comfortable, she walks out easily. Doing 5 minutes both way on eurosizer at brisk walk. Hope to start swimming her soon

It worked ok
Put my 19yr old stocky paint on it for 2 months after he had a fall in round pen, he ended up over at the knee on one front leg, also has arthritic knees and is getting older/tripping due to arthritis we believe. Did the smartflex rehab after the fall to help with the over at knee, did make him recoup a little, but i am switching anck to his normal smartflex senior as it seemed to help him more, with his Equioxx.

Rehab review
New and improved. I've had my horse on the original version, and changed her to the improved version to keep her joints flowing. She likes it.

Saving grace when nothing else helped!
I love these pellets. I have an 18 thoroughbred who reinjued a ligament/tendon in the front right. Everything I tried wasn't helping. Icing did nothing, msm/glucosamine barely helped, he was getting worse at one point even on stall rest. I found these pellets and within ten days I already started noticing an improvement: swelling went down (he'd had swelling for months), better movement and week by week he is more even gaited. These have me hope especially when my vet said sorry not sure what to tell you other than get an MRI!

AMAZING PRODUCT!
I started this supplement 3 months into a SDFT injury and until that point my horse little improvement. Once I started this the improvement was almost immediate. I have been using this for 3 months now and my horse has a made an amazing recovery! Plan on using it until she's back to full work and will transition into another amazing smartpak supplement!

Great product, fit my needs
I bought this for a few months after my horse was injured. I feel as though it worked well to help her heal but she never liked the taste of it, I always have to hide it in a fair amount of grain and even then she only eats it when shes hungry enough. So for me, it was a good product but a bad flavor.

Very pleased with results
My horse had minor minor suspensory injury but was still on stall rest for about 4 and then we slowly got him back into work which rounded out of a total of about 6 months. Like any caring owner I wanted to make sure I was doing everything that I could do to help him feel better quicker and Smart Pak has been with me every step. I ordered both his magnet boots and Back on Track wraps from here, once I made those purchases I stumbled upon Rehab Pellets. As soon as I saw them I spoke to my trainer and set a Smart Pak up for him and I could not be happier. The vet came out for a re-check and jog, and he was 99.9% sound, he was very very pleased with how he looked.

Works!
My gelding ruptured his peroneus tertius tendon and vet said 3 months stall rest. I started him on this basically to give him every chance of a good recovery. It has been 6 weeks and we put him in a small pasture so he could get some fresh grass as the farrier mentioned how well his leg seemed to be. Well he took off in a full gallop and I was horrified until I noticed complete movement and no favoring it at all. He took off again and showed no signs of having this injury at all. I am almost positive it is due to this supplement, there is no other explanation. I will be able to get some riding in this summer and I am so very happy!! Thank you Smartpak!!!

This is an excellent product. My barrel horse horse was playing in the field and tore his DDFT. Smartpak Rehab has kept him quiet, relaxed, and improving quickly. This is amazing since he only has a shelter in a 2 acre pasture. The vet is very impressed with how quickly he is healing.

Not A Cure-All But Happy
I got this for my 5yo mare who has juvenile arthritis in her fetlock joint as well as a suspensory injury because I liked the ingredients. After being on almost 6mo of stall rest and rehab for the soft tissue issue she had to start moving for the arthritis and I felt like this would be good support. She started on it about 8 weeks ago and the first month I gave her a "loading dose" and is now at the maintenance. I definitely notice her moving better but I'm not sure if it's the supplement or just moving around more. The vet did re-check the suspensory and felt that it had healed "wonderfully". Again, who know if this was due to 2mo of the supplement or the rehab program. I really like it but might look for something targeting joint support now.

So far so good
Hasnt been a month yet but with turnout and walking only my large pony hunter seems to be recovering well from proximal suspensory desmitis on LF. Ultrasound in june will tell whole story but rehab pellets are most certainly a part of his healthy recovery!!

Did not help my mare - DDFT lesion
My mare injured herself in Sept of last year. At Equine Affaire, I spoke with reps from Smartpak and they encouraged me to put her on these supplements. With their advise, I did starting in December. At her 90 day vet check at the end of November, she was 95% healed. We recently had our 6 month check and to my surprise, she blew her tendon again and we are back to square one. I had her on these supplements for 4 months and they seem to have done her no good. Not saying they caused harm by any means, but they certainly did not help her in any way. For the money and the promises of the reps, I'm sadly very disappointed and have removed them from her monthly supplements.

Excellent Recovery Support
It has only been 5 weeks since Cookie started taking her SmartFlex Rehab Pellets. She had an accident in the paddock Christmas Eve. She has had marked improvement but has a long way to a full recovery as she pulled some ligaments. Within the next 3 weeks, I hope to see even less swelling as she will have been on the pellets 2 months!

Condylar Fracture of Cannon Bone
My horse took a jump into the ditch while I was running him and he came out lame. I had no idea what was wrong.....took him to first vet to get X-rays and she found nothing (Lack of Experience) My horse was lame for months and i figured it was his splint bones, tendon or suspensory ligament. So I did my research and gave this supplement a shot. Months later my horse was doing okay had no problem walking, trotting, cantering. I was trimming his hooves and noticed that he had leaned on me a lot more when I picked up the uninjured leg. Ended up taking him to a specialist and behold condylar fracture of the right front cannon bone...I was very mad at the lack of knowledge from my previous vet (also saying I could ride him in December when this happened in October), and very distraught. The Vet was amazed, he had worked on racetracks his whole life and has seen these fractures before many times but never saw one that was healing perfectly on its own. I did a lot of research and found that many ingredients in this Rehab formula are building blocks for bone regeneration. Bone doesn't heal it regenerates. 720 mg of Silica, 1,500 mg of collagen, Chondroitin Sulfate, Hyaluronic Acid all building blocks for bone regeeration. Plus it helps the joints out tremendously. I truley believe that this supplemtn played a huge part in keeping my horse sound and can't wait to take the next set of xrays to see how much it has healed. I already ordered more of this supplement besides having him on dicalcium phosphate. In pellet form this goes right in my horses normal supplements and he doesn't even notice it. Eats it all and hes a picky picky eater. Not fond of the DiCal.....lol

Seems to help a bit
My horse has been laid up for months with a collateral ligament injury, and after reading the description on the SmartFlex Rehab pellets, I thought it might do him some good. It's a little expensive, but I do think it makes him more comfortable than if he'd been without it, and he seems to be recovering well, despite being given a pretty depressing diagnosis. Not sure if it is a coincidence, but I think this has really helped my horse.

My horse is an extremely picky and suspicious eate
I have tried the SmartFlex Rehab Pellets for the past month or so. I have tried one packet, a half packet, a half packet, a table spoon and then a mere teaspoon that aired out to reduce the odor for 12 hours, for 24 hours, and for a whole week mixed in with approximately 7 cups of oats. If there are even a few little pellets mixed in with the grain, my horse walks away from the grain bucket and won't eat anything. I am certain that this is a good product, it is just that my horse will not eat his oats with the product in it. I recommend it to others to try as a well researched and well balanced product that is a good value.

I got this because my miniature horse got hurt from a goat , I had him on Finish line with Ha , I called to see what product to use for him that may be better then
Finish line with Ha they said the SmartFlex Rehab pellets , well he hates it I have to force him to eat it, the smell is awful. So I called to stop it , I'm going back to the finish line , with it he was even trotting, with this he is limping still bad.But that don't mean it won't work on your horse.If you caqn get them to eat it.

Switched back!!
I had been using this for the past 6 months with good results on my 6 yr old with difficult stifle issues- some ligament issue with secondary joint soreness. He had PRP in August too and then became sound. My older guy was changed to HylaSport and I thought I would try my younger on it too, but within a week, he was worse. I immediately ordered the Rehab formula again and will keep him on this. I should not have changed. Lesson learned. Sometimes you don't know something is working until you stop using it.

Unsure of long-term benefits, yet
Excellent ingredients and wide range of needed nutrients, but cannot testify towards the effectiveness of ligament/tendon rehab, just yet. My gelding, who suffered a suspensory tear in February, was starting to heal up in Sept-Oct, but then started degrading again. He started this supplement in mid-late October and it is only early December, so holding out hope on the supplement's success. No signs, yet; he is still off on his stride and the leg gets puffy with any amount of trotting.
