“…each horse on our farm has a new lease on life.”

March 22, 2005 / Mt. Pleasant, MI - On their farm in Mt. Pleasant, MI, Adrienne & Eric Goffnett have several formerly homeless horses. Most of them have had health issues and were sold off or given up on. The Goffnett’s have taken them in, but it hasn’t been easy. The vet bills began piling up and the health of the animals did not improve despite of the best efforts of all involved.

This changed in October of ’04. Having called all the vets and experts she could think of and not knowing what to do next, Adrienne asked Eric if they could make one more run to Johnstons Elevator in Clare, MI to look for something that could possibly help their situation. There she came across SweetPro Feeds, EquiPride (which Johnstons had recently taken on). After much debate with Eric and calls to SweetPro, Adrienne decided to try it.

The first horse they started on EquiPride was a 14 year old thoroughbred named Lalique. This horse was a well-known professional jumper in Michigan but had developed a cracked front hoof from the coronet down which nothing seemed to help. She also had a dull coat and hay belly. So she was sold off to the Goffnett’s and later began to colic regularly and refuse feed despite their constant attention (they couldn’t leave the farm!), fresh water (which she wouldn’t drink), daily stall cleaning, vet examinations, experts consulted and the best hay & feed they could find. However, after 10 days on EquiPride, Lalique began to drink her water and eat all her rations. Since then her coat has become shiny, eyes bright, her split hoof has healed and best of all – no more colic! The Goffnett’s are thrilled with her recovery and Lalique feels great. She’s happy and her thoroughbred spirit is back!

After this success they put their 17 year old Belgian mare, Missy, and Eric’s prized 12 year old Belgian gelding, Markey, on EquiPride. Missy had an ulcerated eye, that was swollen, blinded and constantly ran. They had tried many remedies to heal her problem without success, until they put her on EquiPride! Within a few short months Missy’s eye has completely healed, is bright and she can see again! She now acts like a 2 year old.

Markey on the other hand had a sinker/rotated coffin bone in his front right hoof. He was treated by many different farriers who worked hard to try and save him, but nothing seemed to help until EquiPride. The front of his hoof from the coronary band down was missing and in three months, not only has the coffin bone rotated back, but his hoof has grown out 3 inches and is still coming on strong. In another 3 months he should have a whole new foot! Adrienne says he now feels like he can pull Michigan to California thanks to EquiPride!  (see August 2005 pictures below)

In addition, there are a number of other horses on the farm the Goffnett’s have taken in to save from neglect. All of them are now thriving on EquiPride and looking good!

Adrienne and Eric say that, “…each horse on our farm has a new lease on life.”
