Dude and Bestie are just about out of supplements. We've had them on HorseTech products for several years. But now, with the cost of everything in life going up, I decided to take a look at the HorseTech catalog and see if there was something else I could put them on, other than the Reitsport, which is fairly costly. Plus, now that they're not really working, I don't think they need all that the Reitsport offers (glucosamine AND chondroitin). So I decided to switch them to the Glanzen GL, which provides joint support in the form of glucosamine, with a host of other goodies like biotin and vitamins C and E, all in a tasty ground flax seed base (smile). It's a lot cheaper than the Reitsport and I think it will suit their needs at this time very well.
Plug for the HorseTech people: when we first had Dude tested for HYPP, I started researching how to reduce the potassium levels in his diet. Ironically, it seemed like every supplement he'd ever been on was alfalfa-based, loaded with potassium. We just didn't know any better. A friend in the barn recommended looking into HorseTech. (I might add that this friend's horse is still on a HorseTech product.) I called HorseTech and described my concerns regarding Dude, and they figured out the potassium content of the supplement I was interested in. It was the OWNER of the company that got on the phone. Great customer service. And you get a free pack of Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies with each order. And, if you order 20 pounds, which is a nice easily stored size that lasts us a few months, the product comes in a large white bucket, which is great for toting other horse stuff or passing along to friends (or fathers) who always need buckets for watering or weeding. Or, just take it to the recycling center. Also recycle the plastic bag that lines the bucket and presto, no trash. Hey, can't beat that!
