Palatability
Unfortunately my mare became incredibly wary of her food after giving musclemass pellets. Tried wetting food, putting a single pellet in, using molasses. Took two weeks of plain hay pellets just to get her to trust her food again. To be fair, it does smell like a protein shake. Seems like it would be great for horses that it will eat it. It was an expensive gamble.

Huge improvement
I was given a Hackney pony and over the winter he started developing a very locked stifle and could barely walk. We started on a very strict routine of ground pole work and walking up hills. I also read to start on a muscle building supplement and after talking to Smart Pak chose Smart Muscle Mass. It has only been a month and a half and I have seen a huge improvement...he is firing off all cylinders like the crazy little Hackney he was when I first started working him. The only change besides the "horse physical therapy" was this supplement, and you'd never know he had stifle issues. And his muscling looks amazing despite only doing walking and stretching. Going to try this on another lesson horse I have and see if it helps him as well.

Great Results, a little pricey for regular use
I bought this to try because my mare lost a lot of muscle tone after surgery and once she could start working again, I wanted to help her regain the lost muscle quickly. It did work, I started seeing results in about 2 weeks. I was making sure I exercise her 5-6 times a week (1 day light work, 1 day off) along with a balanced diet and this muscle mass supplement from Smartpak. I just don't think it is reasonable to pay $40 a month for what is essentially amino acids, when I'm already paying for other supplements for her that have better value for her health.
I don't have a 'before' picture, but I've added a picture I took after a few weeks of using this and she definitely did not have the forearm and shoulder muscle like in the picture. She had also been off work from July to November.
As for palatability, I think it is best to mix with other grain. I am not sure my horse noticed the taste because I was mixing it in with her ration balancer and flax that she loves. But I have since given to a couple other horses at the barn by itself and they didn't care for the taste.

Fast results for topline and filling out hind qtrs
Purchased this product for our 23 yr old qtr type mare, she isnt used very often and came out of MN winter with little to no muscle tone, especially being older she was becoming older horse syndrome of possible cushings with larger belly and low top line. She is and was wormed regularly so worms were not the problem with riding her litely once a week in the summer for 1/2 hr and proper feed and SMARTPAK muscle mass she really filled out nicely. I use SMARTPAK OFTEN
on my other horse for her joints I do feel the supplements are indeed beneficial. However a bit spending, but adds tremendous results on most of the products I have used including the Muscle Mass for our mare we dont hardly ride regularly.

Really Helps the Muscles!
I have a 12-year-old miniature gelding I was given a year ago. When he came to me I adjusted his nutrition and feed program to help him put on weight and muscle. In a month I started seeing the difference SmartMuscle Mass was making. In eight months this pony went from no topline and a bloated belly, to looking like a horse ready for a halter class with a beautiful topline. I just recently added this to my 24-year-old mare’s Smartpaks and in 30 days definitely see it giving her topline muscles the nutritional support they needed.
For forage both horses are on coastal-grass pasture during the day (with grazing muzzles) and fed alfalfa and alfalfa/orchard grass hay in slow-feed nets when in their sheltered paddock at night. My horses only receive their forage and Smartpak supplements. They are not fed any other type of grain, oats, or bran products.

Amazing Topline Results
I had my pony, Pumpkin, leased out for a few months. Unfortunately, when he came back he was lacking muscle. He had lost a lot of muscle on his topline and hind end. I wasn't sure if it was from a lack of vitamins and minerals or because he is now getting some age on him. I was very concerned. I didn't want to feed him more feed and have him gain weight and form laminitis. He has always been an easy keeper. So easy that when he was previously home, he wore a grazing muzzle. I figured the best thing to do is support his muscle development. My vet recommended that I use a supplement with amino acids and Gamma Oryzanol. SmartMuscle® Mass Pellets fit the bill.
I try to be cautious about loading my small pony up on supplements that he doesn't need. Since he has been on SmartMuscle® Mass Pellets, 3 months now, he looks dramatically better. I definitely recommend this as something simple to add to a horse's diet. What a difference a few months make! I will continue to use this product and would recommend it.
It is a great product for putting muscle weight on some horses. Pumpkin benefited from SmartMuscle Mass, his chest is more muscular as are his hind quarters, topline, and neck. It's an amazing product!

Incredible product for building topline
I put my horse on this every year, around the time when summer transitions to fall. My horse is older and suffers from a mild case of shivers, which makes it difficult to put muscle back on him when he leans out, as the grass dies out in the fall every year in New England. This product gives him the exact boost he needs to get through, and really helped him out this year, when he got very lean quickly. Just over a month later and you can see the results. His coat is shiny, he has plenty of energy, and his muscling looks great again. Definitely a go-to of mine every year.

No difference
My gelding is on his second month of this supplement and I've not noticed a difference in his muscling/weight unfortunately. He's in 5 day a week work and I wanted to help him with muscle gain as he's a long bodied guy, plus no hills in NC. He eats it with no issue at least. Will not continue after this month is used up!

Working already!
I have been tweaking my OTTBs diet since I got him about 18 mos ago and he’s been slowly putting in condition and muscle. But a vet friend mentioned that she liked this supplement so I started him on it about 7wks ago. It seems like he’s already filling out even more very quickly! It’s the only thing I’ve changed recently and he’s actually getting a little less work lately, if anything, due to the very hot summer weather lately. So far I’m pretty impressed!
