It’s About the Whole Horse

In today’s equine world, there is so much focus on joint health and conditioning, that we tend to forget about the bigger picture.  As a veterinarian, I see so much over use, almost bordering on abuse, of various pharmaceutical medications and equine joint supplements.  So many people use them, that at times, I wonder if we are actually trying to manage a condition or more so if the increased use is more to follow what another is doing, almost making it a trend without purpose.  Now, I will be honest and say that many of these equine supplements and medications can prove useful in certain situations, but overall, I feel they are being overused at times, trying to accomplish things they were never intended to do.

Equine Testimonials – Adapt

CurOST® Equine Adapt & Calm Testimonials

“I have a lovely and sweet-as-pie Lusitano gelding. Unfortunately, he’s had some recent issues with canter. Before a depart, he’d begun to throw his head, bunny hop, canter in place, or simply get so worked up that he would not even take the gait. His back, hocks, etc., have all been vet checked, but no clear issues were found. A friend suggested I contact Dr. Schell to see if maybe there wasn’t another way to look at the problem. He recommended the new Adapt & Calm EQ formula and I was all for giving it a go. Within a week, I began to see a change. And now, with a month on the formula, we’re now cantering both directions without a panicky fuss and with more and more relaxation every ride. And while we still have much to work on, I’ve been super pleased with the progress and have even had folks at my barn remark on his “transformation.”
