Product works great!!!
My horse injured his deep digital flexor tendon and suspensory ligament on a front limb. Large lesions, heat, and swelling. No tears. He was gimpy lame on it and tender to the touch. After 4 months, the injury was no longer detectable through ultrasound and he is sound on it. I absolutely think this product helped in that healing process. I plan to keep him on it for maintenance and overall health.

Love it
I started using Smartpaks in January of this year (after using the Wizard quiz to identify what my horse is missing) and he is doing great! I stopped riding him for awhile and I think these supplements are really helping him get back in track as I start to condition him back up.

Palatable
Seems to be helping. X-rays were done on a 3 year old but inconclusive...possibly soft tissue damage. Started horse on these and so far she’s acting better. Not limping or holding leg at odd angles anymore.

Works as you hope it would!
I bought these last month to try out for my rescue OTTB mare who had a severe bow from the track. Although her injury happened years before I adopted her, I noticed she was still having stiffness in her movements (especially with time off). She also has a tendency to stock up. About 3 weeks after starting this supplement, I've noticed she is no longer having "stiff days" and she rarely stocks up ( if she does it's not nearly as bad)!
Although my girl is a picky eater, she had no problem with this supplement, and eats it readily! This product really works wonders and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a horse with any tendon issues, past or present.

Surprisingly helpful
I’ve had my mare on this for a month now I have to say I was skeptical. She tore a tendon two years ago the fly stomping made her lame again. She is no longer lame after a month. She seems to be putting on good muscle.

Didn’t see improvement
I started my horse on this as so as I learned he has a suspensory injury he was on it from April 2020-Aug2020 and I will not be getting it again in my sept smartpak as the vet really isn’t seeing very good healing in general so I don’t think this has helped much in my experience.
Horse has no issues eating it

Works Great!
I've been using this product for quite a few years on my now 13 year old mare. I've tried taking her off of it a few times, but each time she will start to get sticky stifles again and her back end will catch randomly. As long as she is on this supplement, we don't have any issues.

SmartTendon is a smart choice
We discovered severe tears in bith hind suspensories in my mare in January. When I finally got my wits about me, I immediately went on to SmartPak to find out how I could better support her during rehab. We did 4 months of SmartTendon pellets combined with various therapies and her regular joint-wellness supplement from a different vendor. As of July, she has 80% healing in left leg, 70% healing in right leg. I do believe having this support for my girl aided in this much healing this fast, she had the building blocks available for the external therapies to work together and make healing happen. In order to better combine her various supplements, I have switched her to SmartFlex Ultra, the levels of collagen and silica are not as high but I wanted to eliminate feeding 3 things and feed just 1. I definitely would put this back in her SmartPak for full support should we see a regression in healing. My girl is worth it and SmartPak comes through with their great formulas and varieties of Smart brand supplements.

LOVE this!!
I have a horse with a torn suspensory suspected to have ligament desmitis and this is 3 months on it the first 2 months the swelling was bad and nothing seemed to work until I tried this! Swelling is down he doesn’t lay down as much anymore and when he gets up he can move more comfortably! Firm believer!

I have had my horses on this for 2 months and it has not helped them at all. I gave it 2 stars because the horses loved the taste and because smartpak customer service was very helpful.

We bought this for a 16 yo barrel mare to keep her tendons flexible. Will update after we use it when she is under heavy exercise.

Wonderful Support and Healing!
My sweet 3 y.o. thoroughbred tore a suspensory ligament two weeks after I brought him home while he was making bad decisions in his paddock. I found out about this product a few months into the healing process and only wish I had found it sooner. While my horse was healing okay and got back into riding, he was just missing...something. There wasn't a pep in his step. After starting this, you could tell he felt 110% better. He was lively, willing to run around, kick up his feet. I am so grateful to see him thriving and living his best life. He will be on this supplement for as long as I can afford to give it to him. Literally the ONLY con about it is the way it smells, but that is probably just a preference thing. Reminds me too much of black licorice and I happen to hate that stuff!

Looking better!
My horse was diagnosed with suspensory desmitis in his hind leg. The barn manager suggested I add smart tendon to his treatment protocol. She had a lot of success in using it on here horses. His leg is looking better and tonight I noticed his comfort level appears improved. He eats it with no problem.

Hoping it’s gonna work-I think they’re asking for a review a little early he’s only been on it for about three weeks and I haven’t seen anything yet.

Really works!!
I bought this for an older gelding that injured a front tendon. A month of icing, hosing, and bute did not take the heat or swelling off of it. Two weeks on SmartTendon and I saw a dramatic difference and no more heat. One month, and WOW, you can hardly tell it was injured. I've had people look at and say it's going to take at least 6 months if it even heals. I became a believer in SmartPaks from this supplement!

Incredible!!!
I bought this and have been feeding it to my horse along with many other SmartSupplements. He sustained a suspensory ligament injury about a year in a half ago. After working carefully with my vet he finally got cleared for full work again about 6 months ago. After receiving a coupon in the mail I decided to go ham a purchase a few months in advance and I can see can incredible difference in my horse!!

Senior mare more comfortable
My 29 year old Arabian mare was retired from riding after ultra sound showed major changes due to aging. This mare had always been agile and highly athletic her entire life so to see her in this way was heartbreaking. I searched for something to help keep her comfortable in her senior years. I decided to try the 28 day pack of smart tendon. Within 2 weeks we noticed some very small changes - one being she was walking with less stumbling. Not being totally convinced, i tried the 56 day supply and have been amazed at the results. Standing solid on all 4, no stocking up and even confident enough to trot. She is a very picky eater but is loving the pellets. Last year we had one of the worst winters in Wisconsin with tons of ice impacting turnout. Many horses were stalled for weeks on end and during this entire time she was very comfortable. When we went into the indoor arena, she showed minimal stiffness and worked out of very quickly. She even flagged her tail and gave a prancy Arabian trot like she used to. I have been very impressed and plan on keeping her on Smart Tendon. I know there is no cure for her issues - its just part of getting older, but the supplement is giving her a better quality of life as we manage the senior years. Her eyes are even more softer as i think she is feeling better. Some of my fellow boarders are also interested to try Smart Tendon for there horses.
Great product and working for this Senior Mare.

Amazing results!
I have a 21 year old Arabian mare with DSLD. It had gotten to a point to were if she exerted herself even slightly, she'd be dead lame in her hind leg (lame as in non weight-bearing). After 3 emergency vet calls, lots of icing (which she hates), orally giving Bute ( because she wouldnt touch her grain if I mixed it in), and days of stall rest (she became a fire breathing dragon on steroids); I was at my wit's end. So, with determination, I went on a search for something to hopefully keep my old lady comfortable on her four legs and help advance her quality of life. A lot of supplements either didnt provide the right ingredients or was much too expensive; until I stumbled upon SmartTendon. With all it's reviews and affordable cost, I ordered it. A month passed and I was AMAZED at the difference in my girl! She was finally able to keep up with the younger ones, she started engaging her hind end, shes much more comfortable getting her feet done and she can finally gallop the field and be completely sound the next day! I will be keeping my girl on this supplement until the day she dies. Not to mention that she loves the taste!

Helped Heal a Check Ligament Sprain
Ok so I can't 100% say that this was a miracle supplement that changed the game for the ligament sprain I've been dealing with for the last few months, but I will say that I put my 21 y/o OTTB on this when he developed a check ligament sprain and you now can barely see any sign of it. He's sound, back in work, and has very limited residual scar tissue. Will be keeping him on it for at least another 6 months to let the ligament fully heal. 100% recommend!

I know right away this is for her tendons.
I wasn't sure how I could tell if this was working. Seems like in a couple of days I could see she was moving easier. I'm really please with the results, I have my old horse back. Thanks

So thankful
May 5th of 2018 my main barrel horse sustained an injury to both of her front legs. She damaged her superior superficial digital flexor tendons. We are 4 months into the recovery and about 3 months into using this product and yesterday we had our first ride since the injury. My vet is extremely happy with her recovery. I thank this supplement for getting her back to riding so quickly!!!
