Saved our eventing career!
This product is well worth the money. My horse has been on hoof supplement for 3 years, so his hoof wall is strong and sturdy, however, his sole was always soft and paper thin. We tried EVERYTHING. He was coming up lame with insane amounts of bruising and abscessing even when being in a perfectly balanced pour in pad after consulting with many different vets and farriers. In TWO shoeing cycles, the bruising is about 99.9 percent gone, my farrier is amazed with how quickly his soles have thickened and hardened up, and he even found a healed abscess pocket... yet, he wasn't lame for a single day! I believe that this healed up the abscess before it was even able to make him uncomfortable. He has never been more comfortable and sure footed out on terrain, I have even been able to up his conditioning without him coming in foot sore! Also, he is a picky eater, typical thoroughbred, and he gobbles it right up. This was my last option before we pulled his shoes and called it quits for pretty much an entire year until his feet calloused up! I am so glad that I gave this a shot!!

Gave my mare diarrhea. Only had used for three weeks, so cannot tell if there was any hoof improvement. As soon as she was off the supplement, diarrhea cleared up. Wish it worked for her, but love I didn't have to buy an entire bucket to find this out.

Extremely Happy
I recently had xrays and an ultrasound done on my Horse. The main issue that Vet saw was the circulation in his hooves. The pressure of the blood flow was causing him to shift weight continuously in the front and i could see the discomfort in his eyes. Since having him on the Circulate Pellets he definitely seems more comfortable and has more pep in his step.. I highly recommend this product

Frog/Hoof
His frogs were shrinking and flaking in layers. He would walk tenderly. I tried shoeing him but the shoes would not stay on him. He has been on this for about 1 mth and I see awesome improvement with his frogs. They are so healthy and normal again. My Ferrier came out to give me a great report.

Hoof Growth!
I started using this product about a month ago. I saw accelerated growth the first week I started using this product and after 2 months using smart pak hoof ultra. I competed on this mare at the regional and national level, but decided last season not to use her this current season after a substitute farrier hot nail incident started laminitis that spiked off and on Fall through the Winter. Until using this product there was no hoof growth for 6 + months. I now see a lot of growth and leisure riding this Spring on her finds her sound so I could return to the competition circuit this season. Until using this supplement her more experienced farrier and I couldn't see any hoof growth for 6+ months. I also haven't seen any issue with palatability, hives, or behavior changes like with other company's supplements. I plan to keep using this supplement for her through the rest of this riding season.

Good results
My 16 yr-old Appy gelding has been on this for two months. He suffers from frequent abscesses and a tendency for hoof cracks right up the middle of his hoof. He wears front shoes all the time. His sole is low and hard as a rock, so increased circulation is necessary. He has not had any cracks or abscesses in the last two months.

What a lifesaver this product is. It has already made a positive difference to the quality of healthy growth of my foundered mare's feet.

Hoof improved.
I tried this product to help with my horse's recovery from when she had anaplasmosis combined with a flared hoof that developed laminitis. With a new farrier, good meticulous trimming, a lot of hard work actually with soakings, (she had also developed an abscess and had some thrush). I decided to give this product a try. My horse loved it. I cannot tell how well it worked but hoped it was a good thing to put her on to get her through this mess. She is now 100% sound at all three gaits. We are into dressage and trail riding. A good product, I recommend it.

Interesting side effect...
I purchased this supplement for sort of off label use. My 20 year old Oldenburg went thru 2 rounds of lymphangitis in the last year. She is otherwise in excellent health and condition and was even sound in the affected leg. The only problem is that it stayed stocked up unless she was worked hard. She's paid her dues and does not need to work hard anymore (albeit capable). I saw that others had used it for soft tissue injuries so decided to give it a try.
Although I'm not sure if it has changed the leg much, I have noticed an odd side effect. This mare has been a total wimp about cold for years. I think its important to note that we are in West central Florida....no blistering cold winters here. Anything below 60 and she is shivering and ripping her blankets off her stall in protest. I started this product April 2015, long after the cold had passed. However, when the cold weather started in the end of December 2015, I had no shivering and she even seemed too warm in one of her blankets which has NEVER happened. Last night was 48 and breezy and she was in a light turn out sheet. Normally by morning she would have ripped everything off her stall and been frantic if not in her mid weight Pessoa blanket and she was just quietly standing there, comfortably warm under her sheet waiting for breakfast.
I do think this product is definitely doing something for circulation but can not attest to it helping lymphatic swelling (which technically it was not designed to do). I am switching her to the immune supplement before it gets too hot out to see if the stocking up changes off the supplement but before the hot weather affects the leg.

Great product
I am very pleased with this product. My gelding was having some soreness in his feet. I wanted to find something to make him comfortable until his hooves grew out. I started using this product and within a few days he was sound and comfortable. He stayed on it for 2 months and is doing great.

100% Sound
After my h/j went dead lame in November, we decided to start him on these pellets. He was previously diagnosed with a right front unidentified lameness. With the help of my vet, farrier, and these pellets he is 100% sound W/T/C. 3 months ago I thought I would have to retire him, now I am looking forward to the 2016 show season. I will never take him off of these pellets! Thanks SmartPak!

Healthy Hooves!
I started using this product about 2-4 months ago and my mare's hooves are already growing in healthy and strong. She had a crack in her hoof that took 6-7 months to grow out and this really helped it grow quickly but strong and healthy. I have a 5 year old off the track thoroughbred and this has made a difference! :)

Unfortunately this didn't work on my old senior mate. It gave her diarrhea. As soon as I stopped it she improved. No longer has diarrhea. I only used it for a week. 50.00 down the drain. But she is doing great with the rest of her Smartpak supplements. Thanks so much. I'm sure it's a great product. Just not for my Sheba.

Saved my horse
My "navicular" and severely arthritic gelding has been on this for about 5 years now, and it has absolutely saved his life. For a time, I could not afford his supplements, and he became lame to the point of me considering euthanasia. I've done some experimenting since then, and even being off it for a few days sends him in a downward spiral. If you have a horse with mystery foot lameness, navicular, anything like that, PLEASE give this a shot! It may save them.

feet already look better
My 16 y/o Quarter horse had colic surgery last year. Thanks to the expertise of my vet he did not develop laminitis from the stress but he did develop stress rings on his hooves. His hooves have always been healthy but he does have thin hoof walls. we keep him barefoot and the farrier sees him every 6 weeks. He wears boots on the trails. My farrier says his hoof wall already looks better since starting on SmartHoof.

Awesome product!
My horse has been on Smarthoof circulate for about a month and it has made a huge difference! She was diagnosed with navicular about 3 months ago and along with shoeing changes and this supplement she went from dead lame to 80% sound. I can't wait to see how she's doing in another month or so.

no more abscesses
My horse struggled with abscesses and thrush despite excellent care. My vet said these problems could be due to lack of circulation to the hoof. I did research and found this great product. Since starting to use this supplement my horse's feet look great, he is sound and no more abscesses!

I bought the product at my veterinarians recommendation for my mare who has navicular syndrome. She has done remarkably well since adding Smart Circulate to her feed.

True results
My fabulous SmartPak rep, Molly, suggested this particular supplement for my mare. She was forced into early retirement from reining due to deep digital flexor injury. What's most important with this injury is to keep good circulation in the hoof. After her first month, she had excellent hoof growth and was less foot sore. I'm back in the saddle!

Sorry, no success for me
I have purchased several other supplements and they worked great. My mare is gimpy on left front and I was hoping this supplement would bring improvement. I have not seen any change at all and over half the bag is gone.

Saved My Horse AGAIN!
For the second time smartpak has saved my horse. (First time vet said COPD $1000 no lasting hepl) X-Rayed navicular $1000 in vet bill and shots in feet, no improvement. Making plans Id have to put her down. Called Smartpak and cancelled my smartpak. (Crying) (I have her on my Dads ranch and come down every 2 weeks) (Dad had said she was still really lame) So 4 days latter..(Id put her on Smart hoof 2 weeks earlier) I come to the ranch to say good bye. When I see her she isnt really lame! Long story short..from that point to appx. 2 months latter she's went to 80-90% better! Walk 100% Trot 90% Gallop 80% She's still off when turning at a stop. Added Bute Less to hopefully fix the rest. She's 21 this year and a excellent ranch and trail horse, so Im so glad we'll continue on!!! For alittle over $100 a month (3 different products. SmartBreathe, Buteless, Smarthoof) I have my great horse back!!

It works!
This supplement is awesome! I started my horse on it a little over a month ago and I already see a huge difference! My horse right heal was separated by at least half an inch and after being on this supplement it is almost completely closed back up like his left. This is one supplement I will not go without.
