Product Overview
Which horses benefit from pituitary support?
With advances in management and technology, senior horses are living longer than ever. Unfortunately, the results of stress over a long lifetime can have an impact one of the structures responsible for normal hormone production – the pituitary glands. By affecting your horse’s endocrine function, issues with pituitary health put stress on the immune system, cause loss of muscle tone, and lead to poor shedding.
For horses with pituitary challenges, the specialized formulas in this category may be ideal as part of a comprehensive management program designed with your veterinarian. In addition to helping maintain endocrine health, these products include targeted ingredients to help address the areas of health most affected by pituitary dysfunction.

Doing well!
Fluke has been on this for a little over a month and people have commented that he appears to be gaining weight, which is what he needed to do. He is a very picky eater, but he loves the pellets. So happy they seem to be working.

Amazing products
My horse has been on this for a year and the results are amazing. His coat is stunning. The vet always comments at his annual checkup on how good he looks and feels for a 28 year old. He looks and acts like a much younger horse.

I'm hopeful that this works!!
I bought this product for my horse with Cushings Disease as he cannot take any pergolide products since it makes him sick. I believe it has made a difference for him. He will be tested again in a few weeks. I hope his blood work is improved.e

I have my horse back!
I can't believe how well my 23 year old Haflinger is doing on this supplement. He has had Cushings disease for 3.5 years now and is on Prascend. He would still keep winter hair all year and need regular body clipping in the summer to stay cool. And his skin was just over all more dirty and he acted older :( After being on this supplement for 3 months, he has shed the hair (his beautiful palomino dapples are back!!!) and he is acting like his old self again. I am so excited about the results!!
My only complaint is, he won't eat it on his own. I tried to mix it in with different grains for the first couple of weeks and I couldn't fool him. So I started grinding it up with a spice grinder, adding a little oil and water to it and putting it in a large syringe and giving it to him like a medication. He is a good boy and will take anything I give him.

Smells really bad.
My first complaint is this stuff smells like a combination of a 200 year old basement and dirty gym socks. My horse hates it so much I have to disguise it with molasses and basil. Not good for a metabolic horse. After 1 month I cannot say I see anything more than a marginal improvement with this product. Also, this 28 day supply is kind of a rip off, considering all other products from other companies are a 30 day supply. The auto ship is set up poorly. I've just used my last SmartPak and have nothing for tomorrow. Auto ship does not allow for 3 day weekends or shipping delays. I don't think I'll be continuing this.

Works!
My 26yo gelding was diagnosed with Cushings three years ago. He has been going OK on his meds but I noticed this fall that he was starting to get shaggyer sooner and was forming fat pockets above his eyes. I decided to put him on this and WOW he has gone back to normal! We just had him tested and his levels have not gone up. Vet was very happy with how he is doing. *He is also a picky eater and eats this mixed in his grain no problem*

Old warrior looks his best in years!
Douglas, a team horse for Cornell Equestrian, has been on this supplement since the summer and he's never looked better. The past couple years have been hard on him- persistent heel pain, then a massive sinus infection requiring a sinus flap surgery, then an infection of the incision left us wondering if he'd ever recover! Once we got those problems under control, he still seemed lethargic, had a wooly coat, and tested barely subclinical for Cushing's. I decided to try him on this supplement to help with all of his various issues, and he looks and feels fantastic at 21 years young! He struts his stuff with the beginners and gets very happy when we let him do a tiny crossrail once in a while (he's retired from full time jumping to save his feet). Definitely think this is part of his success and he's worth his weight in gold (all 1500lbs).

Biggest change in 21 year old FEI horse
I started my 21-year-old lease horse on this supplement after he started having cushings symptoms but his bloodwork still came back with no cushings. I think this supplement has made the biggest difference in him maintaining and growing his topline. I am really happy with his weight and muscling right now after over a year of struggling to figure out what I could give him to support his topline development and maintenance. He is a picky eater, as well, and eats this with his normal grain very willingly.

Has definitely made a difference
My old Ottb I rescued in June was having trouble building weight and muscle up and was diagnosed with cushings. I immediately added this to his SmartPak and this along with medication and proper diet has made it so much easier for him to gain weight and muscle and he looks amazing now!

Unfortunately pony will not eat
We wanted to give this a shot, but my German Riding Pony who is normally an eating machine spit this out and literally kicked over her bucket. We tried three different times and I attempted to make it more palatable by adding apple sauce, etc., unsuccessfully.

No customer service after pony refused to eat this
Kiwi, my pony, refused to eat these two years ago. We tried to contact customer service to return it, but no one ever responded. Tonight, I'm searching for supplements for my other horses and I remembered my last experience with SmartPak, but I'll never by anything from these people again. Off to find supplements and horse gear at another company.

I got my pony back!
I bought this a few months ago to help with my young pony with Cushing's. He became really crabby and skittish. It was heart breaking! After only a few weeks on this supplement and huge improvement! Few months in and we will never go without this amazing product! Thanks for giving my family our sweet pony back!

Wow!
My horse and I have been together 21 years now (he is a 24 year oldConnemara with Cushings and IR)and he developed Cushings in his teens. He takes pergolide and supplements to help him. His Cushings is considered advanced, so he has quite a few symptoms. I had read about some of the ingredients in SmartPituitary before, but really was hesitant to try them without knowing how to balance the amounts. I was excited to try these pellets. First, he ate them right up(phew!)(being picky is one of his quirks). Then he shedded a bit, not a ton(I still have to clip him). Then his sheath swelling reduced to normal. Then he gained muscle on his back, where it has dropped somewhat. To top it all off, his bloodwork results were great this time. He is back to being a cheerful, demanding Connemara love bug and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you SmartPak!!

Horse won't eat it
Usually, my horse loves the SmartPak supplements, but this one is a dud for us. After 3 weeks of trying to feed this supplement, my horse is still refusing to eat her feed when this supplement is mixed in. I can't really rate the quality of effectiveness of this product if my horse won't eat it.

6 months and seeing definite improvement
I have had my 24 year old Percheron/TB gelding on this for about 6 months now and so far it seems to be helping him. He has cushings and is now blind from a combination of the cushings and uveitis... when he grew his winter coat early in June of last year and then blew it at the end of October after a stressful weekend of fires nearby, I started researching what I could put him on to help him. I decided on this to try and see if it would give him any relief from his symptoms and perhaps help him to look a little better than he was. I am happy to report his coat looks better, his attitude is infinitely better and back to his jolly old self, and overall he just seems to feel good. I see others have complained about the smell but he seems to love it (strong smells are good for him when he can't see where his food is!) and the humans at the barn all think it smells pretty good too!

Seems to be helping
I started my PPID 25 year old gelding on this about a month ago, and it seems to be helping with his overall attitude and shedding. I plan to keep him on it for now. My only complaint would be that it does have an odor, and he really doesn't like to eat it, even when mixed with his feed.

Worth a try!
I don’t really know how to rate this product yet as I’ve only been using it for a month (+]. So far I haven’t seen any outward change in my 28 year old cushings mare with neurologic problems. Perhaps it’s not what she needs, but I thought it worth a try.

This stuff works!
My horse was diagnosed with Cushings last summer. Even with his daily dose of Prascend, he continued to do poorly- tired, no appetite, depressed, poor attitude. After about 2 months on SmartPituitary Senior® Pellets, I have my former horse back- perky, friendly, good work ethic. I wouldn't quit using Prascend prescription drug, but I do recommend supplementing with this fine product/
