A while back I wrote that I had received product from Omega Fields. I had never used their products, so I asked you all your thoughts. If you’d like to read that story, click here.
OK< fast forward since I started using HORSESHINE with Finn, BG and Wrigley – March 1.
Well… I have to say, after 10 weeks (Yes, I even purchased more to keep the trial going), I am thrilled with how BG looks, and very happy with Finn and Wrigley’s summer coat!
BG HAS NO HIVES!
I’M MOST IMPRESSED for BG. I cannot believe she has no hives! Amazing. BG has had constant hives for months. The vets have given her antihistamine and steroidal meds (which don’t work) and I’ve given her all kinds of supplements… But look at her now! Hiveless. She is so happy – (for her… BG doesn’t show extreme happiness unless she is being fussed over and loved upon. She is a very serious girl But that face, is happy!)
So I read through the ingredients and product material. Interesting that Essential Fatty Acids help reduce the inflammation from Midge bites… it sounds like a stretch – but it is working, so I’m not going to argue!

Previously, she had ribs of hives that went all around her body. We knew it was an allergic reaction, but even equine anti-histamines did not work. Or steroids. Or any other natural product that I had tried so far.
From the Website:
FINN AND WRIGLEY ARE SMOOTH AND DAPPLED – and I love that HorseShine fights sand colic!
Finn and Wrigley are smooth and dappled, which they usually are… but since Equion closed down (my usual supplement provider – and I’m so sad), I had to find another and I think I really like this Horseshine.
Besided the stablized flax, I also like the “Omega Horseshine® is also a nutritious alternative for pysllium husks to help prevent sand colic. Omega Horseshine® contains a high mucilage (soluble fiber) content that swells and takes a gel-like consistency, flax mucilage traps and suspends sand, carrying it out of the GI tract. Omega Horseshine® acts to buffer excess acid and aids in the stabilization and modulation of blood glucose.”
I add psyllium powder to their diet for one week a month. But, I have heard that the gut becomes familiar with psyllium after a while and is less effective. So this might be a nice alternating feed for sand colic…

Finn is fat, happy and dappled. (He threw his hay out of his feeder… I didn’t miss.) Finn is 19 now.

Wrigley has a few winter hairs left, but he is sleek, dappled and happy. Tough to take pics of him because he is always THIS CLOSE.
CONCLUSION
I have tried so many supplements to try to help BG and her hives. This is the only one that has really, truly helped her. And, they all have nice Spring coats. So, I think it is a winner! For me, I will keep using it with these three. If you purchase the through SmartPak, they have free shipping.

Here they are in the big field tonight (mostly just weeds left – but they still enjoy it). All three are dappled and look shiny! (BG next to fence, Finn looking at me, Wrigley walking over to me.)
