| Kim Cook's Story A friend of mine saw your product this past winter at the Maryland Expo. I was dealing with a horse (Nineteen year old gelding named: Coast To Coast, AKA “Chance”) that basically lost his umpf. I had him on other products and gave him a month and half off trying to restore his spirits and health. I noticed his coat was lacking the normal luster he always had and he was stumbling a lot. No twinkle in his eye and just looked overall dull. I was very skeptical about trying your product but I must say after three weeks, what a change in his whole being. My farrier commented on his hooves growing more than usual. His coat looks once again like a copper penny. (I did take “Chance” off joint supplement and other supplements quickly after starting EquiPride.) It has made all the difference in the world and I wish I had taken a before and after picture in only three weeks. I'm so impressed that I'm going to put everyone in my barn on it. Everyone that is familiar with my horse has asked me what I have been doing with him and what we have put him on. Attached you’ll find a picture of Coast To Coast and you can see the copper penny glow. I wish I had a before shot, you wouldn’t believe the difference that EquiPride has made in his overall health. He loves his job again. We took him to the Virginia Horse Center this past September and he placed in the top of his division out of thirty-two horses. We will be taking him back for VHSA finals in November. Thanks for everything, hopefully I can spread the word because I feel EquiPride has been a lifesaver for my horse. Kim Cook Palmyra, Virginia |
| Lacy Merritt's Story Lacy Merritt of the Double M Ranch in Kilgore, TX was worried about her horse Skipper’s severely cracked / split hooves. Nothing she did or gave him helped, even two years or more on the leading hoof treatment failed to make a difference and she was at wits end about what to do. BUT! In May of 2005 she came across EquiPride through the influence of a friend. Within two months, Skipper’s hooves have grown out solid and strong! In addition, his haircoat (which had always been a bit rough) has slicked out and the mane & tail have grown out thick and long. Another thing she noticed is that EquiPride has helped Skipper overcome much of his spooking tendencies. Since then she has put all the horses on EquiPride and there is a calmness to the entire herd. Everyone is feeling good, haircoats are bright and dappled, manes and tales are growing like Skipper’s and hoof growth has been remarkable! Bugar the donkey was a bit of a wreck and had a very rough haircoat that would not shed. Since getting on EquiPride he has slicked off. His haircoat looks like it is groomed all the time and he has lost his big grass belly. He now looks great and loves to sneak into their older mare Zippo’s stall to get EquiPride and senior equine feed from the trough. Lacy says Bugar is the coolest animal on the ranch! In February of 2006 Lacy purchased “BARLNK DOUBLE TUFF” (a.k.a. “Deiter”), a 15 year old gelding out of “Barlink Strawberry” by “Barlink Macho Man”, and is preparing him for showing at Pinto and Paint horse events. Of course Deiter is on EquiPride. Lacy says, “We had him on vitamin E and GL concentrate for his joints because that is what the previous owner used. But "Deiter", hates that stuff and it was going to waste. He has no problem eating EquiPride and it will be great for his joints since he is an older boy. It also makes his coat shine and keeps those hooves healthy. The weather has been horrible lately and bad for the horses feet, so EquiPride is a tremendous help on that.” The Double M Ranch is a family run, premium quality Black Angus operation. The cattle are born and raised on the spread for high- end consumers. In addition to EquiPride, they use SweetPro’s cattle feed supplements. |

| Debra Brooks' Story We have to brag on our results with using EquiPride. We own a world champion IBHA buckskin QH stallion, “Patch The Buck”, that suffered hoof damage rendering him no longer 100% sound to ride. After a long battle with an abscess in our stallion's foot it turned out he had lost nearly half of his coffin bone to the deep-seated infection. We feared he could loose the whole lateral side of his hoof making it impossible to keep him more sound than not. This infection and abscess had caused the lateral wall of his hoof to crumble and fall away more and more as the months went by. A great friend of ours, Crystal Lyons, had suggested we feed EquiPride to Patch as she had such great success in rehabilitating her colt, “Speedbump”, Patch's son, with it. We started feeding Patch EquiPride at the suggested amount and after just 3 months his foot has toughened up and he seems to be growing out a hoof that is not so crumbly but more solid and sound. All of Patch’s feet have improved in condition. As we all know, a horse that stays stalled with only turn out and not pastured often faces more problems in maintaining hoof quality. My husband, the farrier, was amazed at the change before his eyes and says he will recommend EquiPride to anyone who has a horse with hoof problems...heck, we would recommend this product to anyone who just wants the best for their horse at a realistic affordable price! Patch’s condition is also worthy of mentioning.... it's mid- winter and he is shiny and fat and my guess is that he is digesting his feed excellently and benefiting all around from being on EquiPride. It is my understanding that his semen count and motility will rise too...so, watch out world....here comes more Patchlings! :-) Thanks for a great product at a price that makes sense for the real horse men and women out here! Sincerely, Debra Brooks Goodlettsville, TN |
| Denise Bryant’s Story Tonic, a Navicular horse is sound on EquiPride! My 12 year old gelding Tonic, is a large ¼ Arabian and ¾ Running Quarter Horse. He was diagnosed with Navicular at age five. Since that time I’ve had to juggle when I could ride him due to his increasing lameness. Last year another vet recommended corrective shoeing and joint supplements. I tried these remedies without success as Tonic continued to come up lame. When trail riding, he needed 3 grams of phenylbutazone in the morning and the same in the evening (Tonic hates “bute” and it caused him to colic). The last resort of a neurectomy was out of the question. So at my wits end, I was walking the grounds of the Equine Affaire in Pomona, CA (February 2004) and came across SweetPro Feed’s EquiPride™ Feed Supplement. Impressed with the ingredients in EquiPride™ (the vitamins and minerals, aiding of digestion and replacement of psyllium for sand colic were highlights) I decided to try some but really didn’t think it would help Tonic’s navicular condition. But to my amazement, since starting on EquiPride™ Tonic has not had one lame day! In June of 2004 I took him on a 6 day trail ride in the San Bernardino Mountains over rugged terrain and he was sound the whole time (each day averaged five hours of riding). In addition, Tonic is much calmer since being on EquiPride™. He used to be hot and had no patience on the trail but now people compliment me on how calm and collected he is. I have done nothing different but feed Tonic EquiPride™ while dropping all other supplements. This is a miracle for me and I couldn’t be happier. Denise Bryant Reche Canyon, California |
| Karla Ashabranner's Story Judge-A-Doc, a 16-year-old American Quarter Horse, was brought out of retirement to teach one more rider the fine art of Cutting. During the first nine months out of retirement, Judge had episodes of gas and obstructive type colic every two-four weeks. Judge was wormed, fed, hayed, exercised, and watered on a strict schedule. In spite of all this, Judge seemed to colic for no reason. His droppings also continued to be loose and he often suffered from diarrhea. At a local NCHA competition, Judge’s owner, Karla Ashabranner, was complaining about not being able to compete because “once again, Judge had colic.” A fellow competitor and distributor, Rick Reeves, introduced her to EquiPride from SweetPro. From that day on – 6 months and counting – Judge has not had colic or loose droppings once (stools firmed up in 72 hours)! Judge is doing so well on the twice-a-day scoop of EquiPride, that his rations had to be cut to maintain his weight. Thanks SweetPro for ‘Cutting out the Colic’ Karla Ashabranner and Judge-A-Doc Lufkin, TX |
| Briana Visser's Story In late May of 2003, one of Benvelle Equestrian Center’s horses, Classical Baron “Kat,” (a registered four-year-old breeding stock paint) came down with a serious case of colic. He would not eat nor drink for about 48 hours. Kat lost large amounts of weight, blood tests were off the charts, and he looked as if death were knocking at his doorstep. With round-the-clock efforts the Benvelle staff and two very dedicated veterinarians encouraged him to eat again, and they started him on the EquiPride™ digestive aide supplement right away. Since being on the EquiPride™, the staff at Benvelle has seen a dramatic incline in his behavior and appearance. He has good weight gain (100 pounds in less than two months), a coat that shines like polished silver, and looks as if he is ready to overcome any obstacle. “Thanks to EquiPride ™, and my awesome staff, Kat looks great, feels great, and is ready to go.” Briana Visser Benvelle Equestrian Center, Pequot Lakes, Minnesota Note: August 9, 2003, Kat won two blue ribbons at the Crow Wing County Fair (Brainerd, Minnesota) in English and Western competitions. |
| Connie Benjaminson's Story In May of 2003 I purchased a 4 year old registered quarter horse gelding, “On Chips Honor”, at a sale in Minnesota. He is a solid bay with pleasure breeding. The horse was a bit on the thin side and had no shine to his coat. The other horses in the sale were shiny and were shed out. He had long hair and a dull coat. I got him home and started the typical things you do to horses with long hair. I wormed him, checked his teeth and started feeding him grain and high protein feed supplement. Six weeks later I still didn’t have a shed out horse. This gelding was in such poor shape we couldn’t keep shoes on him. My farrier suggested aluminum shoes because they work better on poor condition hooves. On the 4th of July we were riding in our local parade. Our local dealer for EquiPride™ asked two of my horse friends and myself if we would like to try a new product. We all said “yes” and agreed to try it. It was the best move we could have made! After six weeks, the end of August, the gelding had finally completely shed off and acquired a rich gleaming coat. He’s not a horse that will ever carry extra weight but he is now fit and healthy. I just pulled his shoes last Saturday, which stayed on for six weeks and the farrier said his hooves are coming along. The EquiPride™ was the answer. I had tried other products at first but nothing worked like EquiPride™. I highly recommend trying it. It worked on my gelding and he needed something badly. I can hardly wait to show him off to my friends. He has that ‘bloom’ that makes him showy, thanks to EquiPride™. Connie Benjaminson Walhalla, North Dakota |
| Shawna Thomas' Story My vet recommended EquiPride and she said, “You need to put him on EquiPride. It is as good as anything I’ve seen and it’s cheap enough to put every horse you have on it.” Since I’ve started my horses on EquiPride I’ve seen wonderful results. Improved appetite, weight gain, better hoof growth, hair coat and many others and I only feed half the recommended dose. The first horse I started on EquiPride was a 4 year old gelding that had developed ulcers. I took him to several barrel futurities and was really hauling him a lot. My vet recommended EquiPride and she said, “You need to put him on EquiPride. It is as good as anything I’ve seen and it’s cheap enough to put every horse you have on it.” So I started him on it and within 2 weeks I saw an unbelievable change in his hair coat and appetite. I also saw a difference in his disposition. The second horse I put on EquiPride was “Athletic Star” (AKA Joe). He is a 1991 Paint gelding. Joe has earned 3 World Champions and a Reserve World Champion in only four trips to the World Show. He also was the Hi Point All Around Open Horse at the 2002 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. I’ve had Joe since he was a two year old and I’ve always had problems with his weight gain, appetite and overall appearance. Until now! Since I’ ve started him on EquiPride I’ve seen such a difference! He eats all his feed and looks and feels like a new horse! I also started a three month old filly on EquiPride who had given me problems with colic. She was premature and had to spend a week at Texas A&M Veterinary Hospital when she was born because she tried to colic. Then when she was almost three months old she tried to colic when I wormed her. Since I’ve started her on EquiPride I haven’t had a problem and she has been on it about 3 months. Before I started her on it she also looked unhealthy and she was small. I was afraid she was going to be stunted. But now she looks like a different filly. She is slick and shiny, she is growing great and she has a bloom to her that I can only credit EquiPride for! I only wish I would have had EquiPride 10 years ago. This is such a wonderful product. Every horse I’ve put on it has had remarkable results. The thing I really like about EquiPride is the many results I get from it. It targets so many problems you get more for your money! This is a great product and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you EquiPride! Sincerely, Shawna Thomas Livingston, TX |
| Randy Lindsey's Story Randy Lindsey, an equine chiropractor and rehab specialist in De Berry, TX, has restored many horses to full health and is a very respected animal therapist. Randy uses EquiPride on the horses in his care with great success. One recent case, “Rambo”, was lame due to an abscess covering the majority of his left front hoof. In five weeks on EquiPride a new hoof has come in. In a few more weeks he will be completely sound. Randy also recommends EquiPride for dogs with needs. His older dogs with joint problems are all doing well on EquiPride, with strong healthy teeth and plenty of energy. One 14 year old could hardly get up before using EquiPride. Randy gives the dogs about 1 to 1.5 oz. a day mixed with olive oil. The horses and Randy Lindsey Equine Center get both EquiPride meal and an EquiLix block in their stall. Randy recommends EquiPride to all his clients says that, “EquiPride is the best vitamin, mineral and all around product for a horse.” Randy Lindsey Equine Center |
| Lee Alsbaugh's Story Preacher is a 12-year old quarter horse. I have had him since he was four. I run barrels, head, heel and you can rope calves on him. I compete in the PWRA (Professional Women’s Rodeo Association). Preacher was found to have a somewhat rare condition known as PSSM (he can not metabolize carbs). His left hip would tie up. I went to several vets and tried several different feed combinations and supplements with little reprieve from his condition. He could walk across the pen and he would tie up or you could ride him for hours, you just never knew. I started feeding EquiPride last August 2004 after being introduced to the product by cutting horse trainer Dale Adix. I have not had any problems since then. I only feed alfalfa pellets with oil, EquiPride and msm. I am currently ranked 17th in the heeling and about 22 in the heading in the PWRA and I contribute a great deal of my horse’s performance and success to EquiPride. I also added a new member to my rodeo team. He is a 13-year old quarter horse. He was given to me and said to be lame and unusable. He was very thin and lame when I got him and I started feeding him EquiPride and only 2 1/2 months later we are running and placing in the barrel race and team roping. We are currently ranked # 6 in the PWRA barrel race standings after only 5 rodeos. I will keep you updated on our success. The team roping picture is Cathy Jo Schaffer and myself roping in New River AZ., she also uses EquiPride. The yellow horse was having weight and coat issues after an injury. I was down there for Christmas and told them about EquiPride and they are now using it. I love your product. Thanks again EquiPride for giving me my horse back!!!! Lee Alsbaugh Stillwater, OK |
| Shelley Gish’s Story Since I have been feeding EquiPride I have really seen a difference in my horses. I have actually cut my horses feed intake back by 1/2 scoop per feeding and my horses look better and feel great! To really test the product, I put some of the outside horses on it. These individuals needed to put on some weight and they also had a dull appearance. In no more than 2-3 weeks I could see a major difference in them and they all love it. Before I started feeding EquiPride I was feeding a fairly high dollar trusted feed. I always keep a check on my horses blood count and it has always been below average. In fact, several of my horses were very anemic. Then I would have to give B-12 shots and add vitamins and so on. This had gone on for about 3 years. When I was introduced to EquiPride, I changed my feeding program to just oats, barley and a small amount of pelleted feed and added EquiPride. Recently I had the horses blood checked and the results were great! On the horses that were always anemic, their RBC was higher than it's ever been, without having to give the shots and all the other stuff. I haven't added anything except EquiPride. So as far as feeding a high dollar feed that is supposed to have your vitamins and goodies in it, well it just wasn't doing what I needed it to do. I want my horses to feel good but not be high and I achieved that feeding EquiPride. My horses look and feel better now than they ever have and I am certainly not feeding any special feed so that really says a lot about the EquiPride supplement. I also had several of my clients put their horses on EquiPride and have had positive feedback from every single one of them. Their horses all look much better and feel great. The horses don't get high, but just seem to feel and perform better. This is a wonderful product. I am totally pleased with the results! Shelley Gish Hallsville, Texas |
| Laura Miller's Story SweetPro® lick blocks have been used in the beef industry many different ways, but can the superior qualities of SweetPro® supplements be used in a horse production program? Ron and Laura Miller from Westcliffe, Colorado, who knew the benefits of feeding SweetPro® to cattle, decided to put SweetPro® to the test on horses. They need to maintain a high level of performance. With SweetPro®, their horses showed the energy and endurance to perform at the Miller’s high expectations. “With the SweetPro® block, we noticed that our horses had more endurance but without becoming excitable—or ‘Hot’.” A horse’s physical appearance is also an important feature when leasing to clientele. With SweetPro® blocks, Ron and Laura noticed immediate positive results. “They showed great coat shine within the first two weeks of using the block. They also had a noticeable change in mane and tail quality.” Ron further commented that even when the horses are not clean they still maintain a shiny, quality hair-coat. Feeding SweetPro® 16-24 also changed their horses feeding efficiency, too — FOR THE BETTER! The Millers normally feed their horses hay every seven days, but when fed SweetPro®, the hay would last ten days. Laura figured they saved 24% on their hay cost per day, and with the cost of the block added in, she determined that the overall day-cost dropped 22%. Consumption of the block was one-half to three- quarters of a pound per day. “We could really tell that the horses were eating less because there was less hay stem and grain in the feces.” The Millers also noted that during the last three months of a mare’s gestation, her nutritional requirements double. Consequently, they normally feed about twice as much hay and grain to meet their mares’ nutritional demands. But when given the SweetPro® block, the mares continued to eat regular amounts of grain with only a slight increase in hay — all while eating one pound of SweetPro® per head per day. Horse health was also improved with SweetPro® blocks. The Miller’s horses are wormed and given shots on a regular schedule. Before they used SweetPro®, Ron and Laura had to treat for infectious diseases. However, since they began using SweetPro®, the Millers have not had to treat outside of their normal schedule. Laura also noted that “due to the changes in weather, area horse owners have noticed a green discharge in the noses of their horses, but we have yet to see this with our horses.” She added, “another thing we noticed since we started using the block, is that our horses’ eyes instantly cleared up. The eyes went from a reddish pink to a bright white.” With the cost of the block added in, overall day-cost dropped 22%. With everything they saw with their horses, the Millers are convinced that proper nutrition is essential in general health and a horse’s ability to perform physically. “When you have good genetics, feed quality hay, and properly supplement with a product such as SweetPro®, there’s nothing that you can’t do with a horse.” Ron and Laura Miller can be reached by phone at (719) 429-2684 or e-mail at rancholoco@aol.com. -- Laura adds to her story: Just thought I would send a picture of Reba and I in Memphis Tennessee. Yep we were there for the National Team Penning Championships 1st Annual Truck Giveaway, in May 2006. Out of 389 teams; those who received a no time were allowed to buy back, therefore with a total of over 700 teams, we placed 12th for the pick up giveaway. I was so excited this was our very first big competition with so much at stake and we came in very close. It was over 1,700 teams in all for the weekend. I was there to work and ride only in the pickup class. It was the most fun and excitement I have ever been involved with. Yep, 55 years young and riding my big ole Paint Mare Reba (RH Lacy). We traveled the 18 hour trip Reba made it there safe and happy and competed with the best of them. We keep our horses on EquiLix 50 pound blocks in the stalls and a 250 pound block in the pasture. While traveling we use the EquiPride top dressing which helps aid in digestion and keep them calm with the least amount of effort. 2006 was a great year for Reba and I. We (Ron, myself our horses - James, JJ, Reba and Dancer) put the miles on and won quite a bit of money, it seemed like a marathon, but 2007 has already started off with a big boom. In January we won our class at the Denver National Western Stock show and a buckle, in February we also won our class and went to our first ever all Team Sorting event in Ponca City, OK. March continued with good success as we won both a our team penning class and a sorting class, whoo hooo two buckles and cash. April we hope to do get-er-done in Hamilton TX and who knows what the rest of the year will bring. Our horses remain healthy, that means saved money in vet bills. With all their traveling we couldn't be happier with their performances. Thank you EquiPride for your great products, use us any time an d feel free to have your customers call us with any questions, (719) 269-3749 or (719)429-6237. Sincerely, Ron and Laura Miller |
| Anne Chism's Story I had been looking for a supplement for my Quarter Horse show horse, Puzzle, that incorporated a probiotic digestive supplement, along with the minerals and vitamins needed for optimal performance. I think a probiotic is very important in preventing colic, especially in horses dealing with the stress of showing. I found everything I was looking for in EquiPride and I'm very pleased with the results. Another thing I like is the ease of feeding - it even includes the horse's daily salt requirement! Lisa's* knowledge of her product and customer service is exceptional and the price is great! What could be better? Anne Chism |
| Rick Reeves' Story My horse's name is Lonesome Playboy DNA; he is a l6 yr. old gelding. He is a cutting horse that has won in excess of $60,000.00 and he has had chronic joint problems his entire performance career. The medications he has been given over this extended period of time have caused him digestive problems. In the Fall of 2001 he coliced and was extremely close to having surgery but luckily we were able to avoid the colic surgery. After this occurred, Lonesome did not do well. He would take 4-6 hours to finish each feeding; his hair coat was extremely dull. During this time we were feeding top quality feed, the best vitamins available along with the best Biotin source money could buy. In August of 2002, I was introduced to EquiPride and started feeding it to Lonesome. He immediately started eating it and in less than 2 weeks he was finishing his feed in 30 minutes and 30 days he was finishing each feeding in 10 min. What was really noticeable was the unbelievable change in his hair coat, mane and tail. He also feels better than he has in months. We also started feeding all of our mares, colts, and horses in training. Rick Reeves Hallsville, Texas |
| Dan Friedman's Story Midnight, a Cushing’s horse on the mend with EquiPride! By Dan & Paulette Friedman Dan & Paulette Friedman’s 30 year old Tennessee Walker, named “Midnight” was diagnosed with Cushings disease in 2003. Having been a feisty horse his whole life, enjoying the occasional kicking down of a fence or knocking over Dan while being fed, he became listless with very little mobility, took all day to eat, wouldn’t leave his stall or shed his winter coat and suffered in Pennsylvania’s summer heat. The hair coat itself went from black to a mottled brown and gray. In late November they decided to try EquiPride™ to see if it could help Midnight’ s deteriorating condition. To their amazement they started to see a difference in Midnight’s attitude within a few weeks. He began to leave his stall to walk in the field, his eyes cleared up, a persistent skin infection on his chest healed and by February Midnight was feeling well enough to again kick the barn doors for his dinner. In March, Midnight’s hair coat began to shed out and by April it was almost all back to black. His hooves are very healthy and he is once again grazing in the pasture and actually runs from time to time. Something he hasn’t done for a few years. Dan started Midnight on 3 scoops of EquiPride™ then went to 2 scoops and now is at 1 ½ scoops a day. He has also cut back 20% on feed because EquiPride™ allowed him to fully utilize his daily ration. Dan and Paulette, owners of P&D Pet Supply in Mountain Top, PA (570-474- 2822) are thrilled with Midnight’s recovery! Dan says that Midnight once again “has spunk”.

| Vicki Morrison's Story We have fed EQUIPRIDE since March 4, 2005. I am very pleased with the wide range of positve results we have gotten with feeding this top dress supplement. We are a training and breeding facility, and have dealt with alot of different problems. This product has dealt with them all, with flying colors, from bad feet, bad hair coats, tail & wood chewing, flightyness, bad attitudes, cushings, colic, tying-up, mares not settling, stallions with low semen counts, babies over at the knees, ocd, upper respiratory, and everyting else that a baby can pick up. Also you cut down on your feed and hay consumption, because the horse is digesting all his feed, and your horse's health and body condition is not going to suffer. Since we have started feeding EQUIPRIDE, my horses from weanlings to adults, have never looked or acted better, they grow at a level rate. The training horses have been easier to work with, in all aspects of thier training. EQUIPRIDE and the little blue scoop. EQUIPRIDE is a natural top dress supplement, which is very economical to feed and you get great results for your horse. To start your horse on EQUIPRIDE, feed 1oz per 100lbs. of body weight (10oz for a 1,000 lb horse) daily. One full cup of the included scoop weighs 5 ozs. If you have a horse with a a chronic problem, you will feed 3 scoops or increase 50% daily, and only cut back to 2 scoops when there is a marked improvement. EQUILIX comes in tubs, it is a non-molasses lick supplement which combines vitamin, mineral, and digestive aide package with buffers to help settle gastric distress. EQUILIX tubs can be set out in the pasture or in your barn lot. The rain and weather does not affect the lix, they do not deteriate like other lixs. Your horses will load themselves with what they need. The EQUIPRIDE top dress comes in 25# buckets and 50# bags, the EQUILIX comes in 50# and 125# plastic tubs. I feed both the supplement and the lix, I am very pleased with results that EQUIPRIDE & EQUILIX has given my horses. Morrison Training, Vickie Morrison |
