flaxseed great nice to have chia iwith it
Trying this out have used straight flaxseed for years grind it up fresh, not enough time now, has the advantage of chia seed with it. Horses ate it up and licked the buckets. Recent trial so give it a few months and see how it goes. Engergy level good but not over the top even for my sensitive horse.

Good results, poor palatability
I have a four year old gelding with multiple allergies. When he was done with his allergy medication this year, his coat became dull and had lots of dandruff. I put him on SmartShine Ultra. Really have been impressed with the results. I did not expect to see much difference until he started shedding out. But instead, he now has a nice shiny coat and only a few patches left of dandruff-y spots.
Only complaint would be that he would not consistently eat it. We tried his ration balancer with senior feed, ration balancer with the supplement mixed in water, mixed in applesauce, plain. Sometimes he would lick it all up and other times he wouldn't. Because of that - and the price - I have started using another product for cost reduction. When this comes out in pellet form... you give me a holler and I will be one of the first to order!

Did not work for my mare
So, I put a new mare on this supplement and the LegUp Combo. It was a cheap try to get her coat up to par (she had major itching poor coat quality). While she has improved in the month I've used this, I feel it was more nutritional (i.e hay and grain as well as better environment) than due to this product, and her coat has not improved drastically. I have switched to another, and will likely not use this again.

Easy - works - SHINE!
Got SmartPak SmartShine Ultra for my horse about a month ago and he looks great. Hie coat is bright and shining. Also, his skin is not flaking as it occasionally would in his mane. I’m so pleased with this product.

Shocked honestly
I bought this almost a month ago and my horse is VERY shiny, and the 3 years I’ve had my horse I never knew she had DAPPLES! I’m so excited, even with her old owner she never had any. Beautiful coat.

Makes them shiny but not healthy
I had all three of my horses on this.. it made their coats shiny and prevented my outside horses from getting sun bleached, however it did not help their fungus and cannon crud go away like i was hoping since it said it promotes healthy skin from the inside out!

After only 1 week my horse has started to shine
OMG, new horse had a dull coat that was not fully shedded out even though we are in the dead of summer. Started him on this supplement 1 week ago and I can already see a shine to his coat and he is shedding the leftover coat that he should have lost months ago. I highly highly recommend this product, he will never be without it. Thank You Smarkpak for such wonderful products and customer service.

The best for shine
Everytime I put a horse on this I'm surprised at how their coats look, even in winter. My daughter's TB mare was so shiny this spring she got several compliments for how clean her horse was. Little did anyone know, she hadn't had a bath since the fall! Now that she has shed out her coat is dappled and shiny. Love this stuff and the price is very good.
PS. Horses love it. I like it added in with less palatable suppliments to get them to eat it.

Picky mini mare loves it!
I have started both of my mini mares on this supplement. Rosie doesn't have skin issues, but Hana does have itchiness when her winter coat starts to grow in and had a very dull coat this past summer. Rosie will eat anything, Hana is very picky. I loved the fenugreek smell when I opened the first SmartPak and held my breath as I presented Hana with her feed pan. To my amazement, she happily gobbled this and her SmartVite Thrive pellets up! I am hoping that this helps Hana's itchiness and also supports both of my mini mares as they are on a mostly hay diet, which is lacking in Omega 3s. Thank you SmartPak for not including fish oil in this product. It's perfect! I am hoping I can update my review with summer coat photos when they shed out.

Using to improve skin and coat
I purchased a young mare who had at one point over the summer had a dermatitis problem. She'd rubbed her mane and tail out. I purchased her mid Sept 2018 and started her on SmartShine Ultra asap and her mane/tail has grown in 2" in 30 days. No more itchy or scabby skin either.

Pony wouldn't eat it
Got as a free sample but my picky pony wouldn't eat it.
But I'm sure it's a great supplement.

Works Great
I have had my horse on this product for about 3 years. He is a buckskin walker and I always get asked "how do you make him shine like this". I just smile and say Smartpak. It really makes a huge difference to your horse coat and after about two months you will be amazed at the difference. Trust me.

My smokey black gelding is now incredibly shiny. Very happy with this product. It has done much better than the dark and handsome did.

Good stuff!
For the price, I think the results are great! Both of my mares are so shiney, even with their winter coats. I’ve also noticed new mane & tail growth. I’ve been using the product for a month, I hope the results keep coming!

Noticeable results, but on double dose
I started my horse on this supplement because I was moving barns. The previous barn had a flax/vitamin/mineral mix prepared to match the deficiencies in the hay for every new batch of hay. The new barn doesn't do this so I had to redo my horse's SmartPak to fill the gaps. So far, after two months of using this product, my horse's coat has been really nice. His mane will often get a little rubbed and irritated by the blanket and it hasn't been as bad since he's been on the double dose. The skin of his tail has also been less dry. He has a nice tail, but right at the roots there would be some dandruff. I'm curious if this will hold up as we move into the warmer months. My gelding also likes to play A LOT so he comes in with a new bite or scrap almost every day from his pasture mates. The skin seems to be healing better and the hair starts to grow back sooner than before. Lastly, we're in the middle of shedding season in the north and I've noticed that although the hair comes out just as easy as last year, I'm not getting any dry matches or dandruff coming up with the hair. I'm not sure if the results would be this positive if my gelding was on the maintenance dose, but I chose this dosage based on the amount of omega 3s and 6s in his grain ration. Between this supplement and his grain my gelding gets about 25g of omega 3s daily for a gelding in light to medium exercise at the moment. I also chose this product over others I found it the most cost effective for the amount of omega 3s I get by weight, for the price.

Zero Results
Have been feeding my horse this for three months now and noticed absolutely no difference. Disappointed. Was really hoping this would work.

Disappointed
I have used the product for 30 days now, and I do not see a difference in my horse's coat, and I have him blanketed for winter so he is clean. I had dapples in his coat by using Dynamite TNT from summer through the winter until I took him off of it. Unless I see a difference this will be my last order. Also, the box the products were shipped in was beat up and had holes in three sides. I accepted the order because I was almost out. Other than some tubes looking beat up, the contents seemed to be fine.

Amazing!
I am loving this supplement, and so is my gelding! I had previously used the original SmartShine on my horses several years ago and loved the results, so when I needed to replace the liquid coat supplement I'd been feeding my horse with something that wouldn't freeze during the winter, I came back to SmartShine. I am loving the results just one month into feeding this supplement, and so is my gelding. His typically flaky, itchy winter skin produces a dull coat, but he's blossomed with a silky coat (mane and tail included - I've not used any detanglers in his tail since starting and it's just silky and full!) and doesn't have any dandruff. I can't wait to see his coat once he starts to shed out come spring. In addition to amazing results, my horse gobbles up this, and all his other supplements, and even licks his tub clean. Will definitely be keeping him on this!

Stopped all late summer itches
My welsh pony used to rub half his mane out in August/Sept. and generally be itchy all over. I've been feeding him this product year round and 1 1/2 years. This summer, no itches, no rubs and his coat is great. For a show horse, he looks beautiful. Also, he doesn't really like the taste of his other supplement (Platinum gastric powder), but when I sprinkle this smart shine over it, he eats all his feed. Highly recommend.

Unsure
I've only had my horse on this product for a month now. So far I haven't really noticed a difference in her coat. I'm going to give it another month or two before I pass any real judgment.

Freckles' coat is looking good. He had scaly skin in his ears, it has cleared up using the smartpaks and medicine from the vet.
