Anyone out there using this product and what are your results?

[tbrace]

Very good stuff, but expensive. Lots of sales preppers use it, including us.

[Jean]

You say it is good stuff, what are the results you see using it?

[amanda1]

We use it also on our sale yearlings, way better and safer than steriods and great results. You will see the horses bulking up, especially in the chest, shoulders and hind quarters. And when they come off it they typically don't shrivel up to nothing, they tend to hold the weight well.

Good Luck!

I've used it for four years and am pleased with the results. Like others, I use it on sales prep, but to maximize its effects, it must be used in conjunction with regular exercise.

I am most excited over BB's use in barren and pregnant mares, however. By increasing blood flow to and through the uterus, damaged tissue is repaired, and fetus' receive more nutrition. Foaling mares seem to get pregnant faster, too. Again, regular exercise increases its positive effects.

The cost per serving will drop significantly if you order it by the case. Be sure to top dress your feed with it; don't mix it. Too much is left in the tub if you do.

The only downside I have noticed is that foals can be TOO big. Small, narrow hipped mares are probably not good candidates for it, especially maidens.

Have any of you noticed any problems a few years down the road with yearling preps you've used it on?

Asking because I'm debating using it in my appendix (see it's TB related ) QH yearling to bulk him up before the Fall Futurities, will be showing halter and longe line (English) and don't want to have problems in years 3 and 4 when we really start working him under saddle for hunter/jumper.

Hi RavenSuesMon,

Is this EQUINE RACING SYSTEMS product?

Thanks,

Pete

[Jean]

Yes

[Jean]

yes

My experience is only with the EQUIADE product Body Builder (advertised in Blood Horse, etc.) It retails for about $75 a bottle.

You shouldn't have any problems down the line. I used it in my arabian halter colts. Helped bulk up that crest a little. But you won't see Superman growth over night. It takes a long time, but dont give up on it. Just start early

On TBs, it works quite quickly. We can usually begin to see changes in about 2 weeks.
