Life Data Labs (SO)Barn Bag Pleasure Performance Horse 11lbs(10)

My horse is finally eating this with his whole hull oats. It's only been a month so I haven't seen much results yet. Love that it is a 2 month supply. Price is sticker shock, but works out to $42.50 before tax. I also love the Smart pak equine of automatic shipping. Just one less thing to worry about. Thank you Smart Pac Equine.

I started my 2 laminitis prone Morgan mares on this about 6 months ago and shortly thereafter switched the whole herd, including a warmblood and thoroughbred, to this product. For the bigger horses I supplement with soaked beet pulp as necessary to maintain weight. I have a lot of grass in the summer and the horses also get free choice hay timothy mix of decent quality. The whole bunch of them look great, shiny coats dappled out that resist fading, good foot quality, good attitudes. My young warmblood is big, close to 18 hands , but not a difficult keeper...he gets no grain and is in light to medium work. It also works for my older, harder to keep thoroughbred and a 31 years young Morgan mare who looks like she is 15.

I have a fairly picky eater who just loves this stuff. It smells good to me even. I have in the past year decided for my horses to go the ration balancer way, and both horses are thriving. If this type of feeding regiment would benefit your horse I would definitely recommend this product.

Last year we bought a 10 year old minature donkey. This spring, she started losing her hair in patches. After blood test, we discovered her selenium level was low. Started her on Barn Bag and in about 3 weeks the hair is growing in and looking very shinny. She likes the taste too.

I have done intensive research on this product. I only want the best for my mare. Since changing her diet from a complete feed I have noticed a huge change in her coat, her attitude and her performance. She looks amazing, no weight fluctuations like before. She gets barn bag every morning with her Race Horse Oats, a 1/2 scoop of grass hay pellets and Timothy Hay. I don't think I will go back using the complete feed ever!

I bought this feed a couple of years ago to make sure my gelding was getting the proper nutrients as I wasn't sure he was getting it from the feed at the barn where I board. He is a VERY picky eater and I had tried numerous other vitamin/mineral supplements that he simply would not eat. This he loves! He always gets compliments on how he looks and has a lovely healthy coat and long beautiful tail that I contribute to good nutrition - and of course, good grooming! I have recommended Barn Bag to many of my horse friends.

Use on our overweight sidebone pasture pony we rescued. She's ALWAYS STARVING (or acts like we never feed her). I keep her on this to keep her metabolism up and her waistline where it needs to be since she doesnt get alot of exercise because of her limp.

I changed my horse over to oats after moving from a barn that fed really cheap nasty processed grain. It was literally like feeding them a McDonald's super sized meal twice a day every day. So after finding out how terrible that grain was for my horse I searched and searched for something healthy to feed. I even had a nutritionist out that took a ton of tests. So after sifting through a lot of decent products I decided to start feeding oats, I really liked that it was completely natural. But since oats don't provide everything a working horse needs I found this product and since using it for about 9 months or so I like it and my horse does too! I never saw a drastic change but my horse looks a whole lot healthier now. I recommend this product for anyone who needs a good supplement to pair with your horses oats! FYI, be sure to look at the feeding instructions, it recommends to split your horses doses into two feedings. It also states that in the Q&A part as well.

My 16 year old easy-keeper mare misses most of the nutrients from the pelleted feed that is fed at her barn since she gets only a small portion twice daily. Fancy gets the Hay and Pasture Balancer along with UltraCalm which I have given her for some time. She has begun to shed and her coat looks great and she enjoys the SmartPak supplements along with a taste of pelleted. feed.

I have had amazing success with Farrier's Formula. I mean, seriously amazing. It's transformed my mare's feet, coat, mane/tail, you name it. So, when she was already doing pretty well after about 6 months, I contacted Life Data Labs, and the originator of the product himself (Dr. Gravlee!) was kind enough to respond to my inquiries. He recommended that since my mare's foot condition was already taken care of, that I should switch to Barn Bag in order to give her more complete nutrition. Unfortunately, after several months on Barn Bag, I noticed a deterioration in her foot condition again, so I went back to Farrier's Formula (FF), and now, several months later, her feet are looking great again. So, I think that in my particular case, my mare (a TB) can't be off of the foot-specific nutrients in FF, and while Dr. Gravlee did say that FF and Barn Bag can be given together safely without overdosing on any particular ingredients (as there are several common ingredients to both products), I can't really afford to give both, especially since Barn Bag is more expensive than FF for the same amount, so I am just planning on leaving her on FF indefinitely, and am just trying to give her different types of hay to ensure she gets enough supplemental vitamins/minerals. Even so, I would still recommend Barn Bag to other owners whose horses do NOT have foot problems, however, as I honestly believe that anything made by Life Data Labs is high quality and backed up by rigorous testing, and their customer service is impeccable!! My picky mare also had no problem eating the Barn Bag or the Farrier's Formula.
