"EquiPride helped save Smart Dressed Girl’s life and return her to health."

Smart Dressed Girl, a quarter horse mare (cutting) from Rio Neches Ranch, inTyler, TX sloughed off her front hooves in September of 2006 (leaving only flesh around the bony column).  The problem began in June of 2006 and her condition rapidly deteriorated.  Nothing seemed to help.
 
By December of 2006 the veterinary bill was at $30K and there was no improvement.  At that time the decision was made to take her back to the ranch.  Jonathan and Erica Oland (head trainer and ranch manager) had recently heard about EquiPride and the great success people with laminitic horses were experiencing when using it.  So they  decided to try putting her on strictly Coastal hay and EquiPride as a last resort.
 
EquiPride was fed to the mare at double the recommended maintenance rate of 1 ounce per hundred pounds of body weight per day.  Because of its pre-digested (by fermentation) nature and its ability to help break down fully all of the daily ration, this rate of feeding was not a problem.  Her body merely absorbed more “tools” quickly.
 
Radiographs were taken during monthly veterinary checkups and steady progress began to take place.   By September of 2007 she had regrown new front hooves and is no longer lame.  Jonathan and Erica Oland credit EquiPride with helping save Smart Dressed Girl’s life and returning her to health.
