"The whole farm is on Chia seed! All the horses are
cleaning up Chia—even the ones on pellet type feed. We notice licking of
buckets and tubs, from horses that do not normally do this. We are now taking
Chia seed (personally) too! We dumped our fish oil supplements. I take
Chia every day and can tell a difference when I miss.
As for my "fish-oil poisoned" horse: He is
recovering from enterocolitis. I truly believe that the Chia we put him on
made a difference. There are protective properties in the Chia to his GI
(gastro-intestinal) system that have helped immensely, same as for
me. Chia is also keeping his weight up while his GI system
heals. He is on the maximum Chia (4 oz. serving) twice a day.
I have another stallion with a chronic shoulder
fracture and wanted him on a joint supplement, but never could get him to eat
any supplement. He eats ALL the chia and licks the feed tub! This is a horse
that will pick daily wormer pellet out of his feed or won't touch the
feed—pickiest eater I have ever had. He loves Chia! And, he is
running around a lot, not showing his usually gimpy moments. He’s ready
to ride again!"

"Dieting, obese and Insulin-Resistant (IR) horses are hard to
feed—they get fat easily and are constantly hungry—but Chia makes
an amazing result in keeping them from having those blood sugar spikes and lows
that cause them to eat their stalls! Insulin-Resistant horses are becoming
common, I think (or maybe people are just figuring out what it is) and it's a
market hungry for solutions that make horses more comfortable, since diet,
strict and bland, is the only way to really control it. Chia makes that a
million times easier. Good job!"

“Hershey is a rescue horse that arrived very malnourished in
June.”
“Just 4 weeks later—the after photo really drives home the
point! Chia was instrumental in his recovery.” —Casey
"Chia is terrific! I am very happy with how my horses are doing on
it. I'm up to 1/2 cup daily each, and its a perfect amount! Our
horses are enjoying Chia and we see multi-fold benefits of improved
digestion, healthier coats and stability. I especially like that Chia is
completely natural, organic with no processing."
—Sarah, Vogeley Lusitanos
"I love the way our horses come through the winter with Chia added to
their rations. It helps immensely with emaciated horses. They need the
very best to come back to life. Chia is by far the finest to get them
started. Recovery is faster. Chia is the best for maintenance and
sustaining whole health. We use it for rescue and for our personal horses
also. There is nothing better to supply essential oils and aid digestion
for a healthy tract in old and young horses. Wonderful product. We can't
live without it!"

"We have picky eaters and they clean up Chia eagerly. Adds shine to
all the horses coats. We live in a desert with dry ground and haven't
had any sand problems since feeding Chia. We've eliminated expensive
psyllium and messy oils. Chia is easy to store and so easy to feed
as a top-dressing."

"All the nutritional benefits of Chia, especially regarding the
issues of sand and omega 3's, are the whole reason for feeding it.
We have many horses with EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome), the
equine version of diabetes and the cause of most founders as
circulation to the hoof is impaired. I know the benefits of Chia
for regaining and maintaining total health in horses. We have
people from all around the world that visit our forum and Chia is
one our topics. Chia is a more economical choice with the same
benefits of other products. "
