| "My mare is 28 years old, has been healthy and sound all her life. Her name is Luna Mia and I showed her for years on the island in many different disciplines. She was retired at 17 and gave me two wonderful foals. In later years, she developed a little arthritis in her joints as could be expected. I never really expected anything else (she started getting 'lumpy' at about age 15). Six years ago, she suffered a bowed tendon in her left front foot. Since she was in foal at the time, we couldn't treat her with Bute (which I've now discovered she is allergic to) or any other type of drugs. I used some herbal methods but basically left the mare to heal on her own. She managed fine, but the tendon healed thick (of course) and a little short. She exhibited no soreness on it and was perfectly fine. I had grown used to seeing her one leg with little 'definition' below the knee." |

| "Last year, she suffered several serious illnesses as a result of a reaction to 'traditional' drugs administered by the vet. She had seizures and during the course of this event bowed the tendon on her other front log extremely badly. The mare was stiff all over, dehydrated, and in agony. Generally not in good shape. The vet suggested Bute - but this produced spot sweats and made the mare very unhappy. I had the massage therapist work on her and that alleviated the stiffness in her body but she was still looking very sad and at her age I figured that this might be it. I read an ad in 'Pacific Horse' magazine about HSH products and out of desperation thought I'd give it a try. The vet had told me to 'wait and see' but basically had warned me that he figured the mare was on her way out. I picked up Equine Spry One and started the mare on it straight away. Within two days, she was eating well, gaining weight, had lost that confused, pained look in her eye and was beginning to put weight on her injured leg. Within one month, I had to cut the dosage of the herbs because the mare was trying to run around! I kept the mare on the Equine T-24 for about three months, but did find that I had to cut the dose in about half. After three months, I started reducing the amount even more, and in fact alternating between Equine T-24 and Equine Equine Spry Two. The mare would get half a dose every other day. Gradually, I weaned her off the stuff and now she gets a 1/4 dose about once a week, only if she seems a little lack luster. The bowed tendon injury healed faster than I've ever seen an injury like this heal - even in a young horse. The mare is full of energy, completely sound and happy. She eats wonderfully, has no digestion problems, and is essentially in better shape than she has been in ten years. Even the vet has to admit that the mare recovered well beyond what he could possibly have imagined and the tendon injury healed twice as fast as any other he's seen." |

| "What is truly amazing in my opinion, however is this. Her 'old' arthritic changes in her hocks, and the old large bowed tendon injury in her other leg - both have decreased dramatically! I didn't think that the old tendon injury would change at this late stage. The mare has more definition in that front leg. As for the 'lumpiness' and loss of flexibility in her hocks - well, I can honestly say that the arthritis 'appears' to have gone. I don't understand how or why, all I know is what I see. I'm naturally skeptical about a lot of things, but this is truly amazing." |
