Client Testimonials

Sully is a 3 yr old Appaloosa Gelding that I brought up from Texas in the summer of his weanling year. When he arrived he had a thick course terrible coat that really concerned me. No amount of grooming or good diet of “commercial” junior feed was helping. Then we noticed he was going bald and started scratching on anything and everything. We did blood test, skin scraping, skin biopsy and all was fine. We finally narrowed it down to a soy allergy and my vet wanted him off any commercial feed right away. We switched him over to oats and within a couple days he stopped itching. With Sully being a baby I knew he needed more nutritional support than what just hay and oats would give so that’s when the hunt for a soy free Vit/mineral began. My search quickly lead to Mad Barn Omneity. Sully has been on it for almost 3 years now and I couldn’t be happier. His coat is amazing, super shiny and soft. His feet get constant compliments from my farrier as well. He matured beautifully without any growth issues at all. I recommend this product to everyone! Omneity will always be a part Sully’s feed program.

Finally made the decision to purchase a family friend and found the perfect match in my very young 3 year old mare. She’s an amazing addition to my family as even though she’s young she’s so laid back and easy going even my 4 year old daughter can lead her around! We are re training her from a western reining pony to a jumper. Can’t wait to see my girls in the show ring with her. Having been a former co-worker with Scott I knew I’d have the best, most researched supplement out there and wouldn’t trust anyone else but him to keep our little girl healthy!

I have been using Mad Barn products for around 8 years and am happy with the results.
My gelding is 24 now and has PPID.
I switched from Omenity to Amino Trace + and have been using the Optimum Digestive Pellets and can happily report he is licking his feed tub clean again.
Thank you Scott!!

Use it love it encourage others to try it! Mad Barn is a great brand, great product, with great people and an amazing sponsor of events in our area!

Distinctive Bay, known as Eddie in the barn, is a 2013 OTTB who only raced a total of 8 times before being retired due to being a ‘roarer’. Originally purchased to be a sales horse, Eddie quickly displayed all sorts of potential and talent.

Eddie was given the winter of 2016 off and started up in the spring as a lanky 4 year old. He came with us when we went down to North Carolina for a few weeks in the spring and did miles and miles of hacking and even began jumping a few tiny cross rails. He had an easy summer and fall learning how to be in work as an actual riding horse, before starting back up again in 2018. He once again went down with us to North Carolina to start his season at his first dressage show. However, late that spring and early that summer he struggled so immensely with [redacted] he colliced. Helping him through the [redacted] was a long process, but throughout this we started eventing at the entry level, winning the division for the National Capital Region. As I went off to university that fall, Eddie went to have surgery to help with his roaring. It was decided that instead of having the full tie-back surgery, they would remove one vocal chord to give him more breathing room without the intensity of a surgery.

Having struggled with [redacted], keeping shoes and weight on throughout the summer we worried about his layup, but a month prior we had found MadBarn and had started Eddie on Omneity and Visceral +. These proved to help so immensely that this year we added the Performance XL: Electrolytes and magnesium to his diet as well and he has thrived! Shoes have stayed on (knock on wood), soles are thicker and harder, [redacted] have been kept at bay and he is an incredibly shiny and healthy horse. We moved up to pre-training at the beginning of the year and training halfway through the show season and this horse has been the best partner all the way through! Having just found out we won both of these divisions for the National Capital Region I could not be happier with how having MadBarn in his diet has helped Eddie perform at his very best and I’m excited to see where next year takes us!

Parker is a coming 4 year old paint gelding who has been on madbarn probiotic for 6 months now. I’ve owned parker since he was 5 months old so we’ve had plenty of time to spend together. I am training him myself to be an all round horse. I cant seem to pick a discipline and he doesnt seem to mind. Last year after moving parker to a new barn I noticed the stress of the move (and his constant growing) left him looking thin and dull. After I started him on madbarn probiotic I noticed his coat and hair became more smooth and shiny and he began putting weight back on. Hes been on the probiotic ever since. I’m also bringing home a retired standardbred gelding at the end of the week and he will also be put on the probiotic while he settles into his new life as a laid back riding horse.

Tucker is a saucy Welsh pony who competed in the small pony division of the Central West zone this past year. When Tucker became a show pony we put him on MadBarn Visceral + to help with any gut issues and also help with his hair coat and temperament. We can’t say enough great things about this product and what it has done for all our horses and ponies.

Being a Natural Horsemanship instructor, I have the best ambassador for the principles that I teach. Once you have gained your horse’s trust there isn’t anything that they won’t give back to you. Dreamer is that kind of horse. For both of us.. it means that cross-training is just changing the venue… everything else is the same. However, none of this is possible if he isn’t in perfect health. Mad Barn supplements are a staple in our barn as Dreamer is IR and has Equine Asthma. With proper management, supplementing when necessary, Dreamer is a competitor and a partner. Amongst his latest achievements is IMTCA Open Champion…but its not about the ribbons :-)

Meet nick! I bought nick as a 3yr old from Adena springs retirement facility. I originally got him as a project horse but his dorky fun personality convinced me to keep him. Nick just celebrated his 11th birthday and couldnt be happier with this boy! Although we have never shown a horse I was told I’d be lucky to get anything accomplished with jumped 3′-6″ like its nothing. And to be be honest if it wasnt for Mad barns pro biotics he may not be with with us.At the age of 5 he has a scary collic that ended up putting as at Guelph university. Then we found out he has stomach [redacted].

We tried everything you could think off, spent thousand of dollars trying to keep his tummy happy and nothing worked. We had minor episodes every few months until we started mad barn! Not only is it a fraction of the price but we’ve had no issues now for 4 yrs! It was such an amazing product that i now have my 33yr old pony with Cushing’s on it and she is holding weight like a champ. So thank you for saving my boy along with allowing my pony to continue beings happy and healthy.

I recently bought pumped up kicks (aka santo) off the track. When he arrived home, he was a tad thin and displayed typical symptoms of [redacted]. Now with MD visceral and omniety, he’s happier and healthier !

Truuth moved to Canada this past May as a 2 year old Arabian gelding.
Upon arrival we assessed his body condition and put together a daily feed plan that was based upon the Mad Barn supplements that I intended to use.
After 5 months Truuth has gained weight and muscle and continues to grow taller everyday.
I trust Mad Barn for all of my horses needs….from the retired jumper, to my miniature horse with Cushings, and for Truuth, my still growing superstar endurance partner!

Dinastia loves her AminoTrace plus. There has been a huge improvement in her overall health and her feet since she has been on it. Dinastia and I work on French classical dressage, we have begun schooling more collection and are working towards piaffe.

Dinastia loves food, performing above airs for fun, and chasing bees.

My horse foundered a few years ago .. it’s has been an emotional roller coaster. I had him on different supplements, and they worked for awhile ….
I was recommended Amino Trace
I’ve been using it for over a year. I am very happy with it ! I’m riding Valero again ,( wasn’t sure I’d see the day )
He will be on this mineral , for life
Love the product and the company !
Excellent customer service.

This is Avion. She is the definition of an all around superstar. This summer she started to event with a 15 year old girl and they won four horse trials in a row. She can then turn the energy off and pack around her rusty stirrup owner in the hack division at local schooling shows. Just for fun let’s throw in some hunter paces and go exploring. And of course the ultimate babysitter, teaching toddlers the ropes of riding! She’s incredibly smart, not overly talented but she is as safe as they come and looks after her rider no matter what! Mad Barn is a huge part of her health program and she wouldn’t be as successful without proper gut health!

My horse died in 2017, but I still receive emails from madbarn and thought I’d give my testimony here. I had Lancelot from age (we were the same age) 12 to 18, then for 3 months at the age of 23 before he died of cancer.

He was an ex barrel racer, and already had arthritis when we bought him at 12 years old. My step mother introduced me to MadBarn when Lancelot and I were 15. Not only did he have arthritis but very sensitive hooves, we were always treating him for thrush. The supplements from MadBarn helped him so much, he was at the peak of his health! Running around all the time like a young foal. I bought him back at the age of 23 years old, not knowing he had cancer. For the 3 months he was with us, I could see how quickly his hooves’ health improved. MadBarn helped Lancelot until his very last days, and I will be forever thankful to you guys for helping us out.

This is “Fella” a Canadian Sport Horse gelding that I trained up the levels in Dressage from a young horse. He and I successfully competed to 4th Level with many Championships under our belt. He is now a wonderful School Master for an Adult Amateur.

When competing my horses I always worry about the stress that travelling and new environments can put on the horses. To have them work and compete at their best it is so important they maintain a healthy appetite when away from home. I have been feeding my competition horses Mad Barn Visceral+ for 5 years now and I have seen a huge improvement in all the horses. Its keeps their gut settled and their appetites strong so they can perform their very best.

Our horses are athletes and they require exceptional nutrition. After seeing great results from Visceral+, Mad Barn products will always be a staple in my feeding routine.

We bought Rusty almost sight unseen from a sale. He was skin and bone and sick. The picture is the day we brought him home vs a month later. Faithfully using Omniety as well as decent senior feed and hay.

Klyde is the kind of horse who have a mental of gold! He have 20 months old and my kids can ride him bareback. He’s my one horse in a life time!!
I have showed him this year in halter class and we win ! 

Angee est le meilleur cheval ! Toujours prete a apprendre à chaqun des cavaliers qui la monte !
Les produits mad barn aide a la qualité des ses sabots, crins, poils !

Hi, my name is Robin Hannah and this is my horse Kid Chrome. We were competing at the RRP in Kentucky. He was awarded 9th place in the Show Hunters and also Best Conditioned Hunter. We feed our horses Visceral+ and Omneity and swear by Mad Barn to have our horses looking and feeling their best!

As a hoof maintenance professional, I see very good hoof horn quality in horses that are on Mad Barn’s Omneity vitamin and mineral. I own horses, and I have never seen a crack in their hooves since they have gone on these products- for several years! I highly recommend Mad Barn to all of my clients and friends!

It’s amazing what a difference 5 months of proper vitamin and mineral balancing can make. As a professional hoof care practitioner, I recommend Mad Barn mineral and vitamin to my clients. Not only are they specifically formulated for our regional needs, they are free of fillers and carbohydrates.

I see quick improvements in the hooves when my customers start feeding Omneity: the wall connection gets tighter, splits and cracks tend to disappear, the frogs are stronger, the soles get thicker and as a result, the horses are more comfortable on all terrains.

For my clients with metabolic issues, such as Cushing’s and insulin resistance, we use AminoTrace+ as it is specially formulated for these horses. I’m always impressed with the results.

I’m also very happy with the great customer service. Scott always takes the time to answer my (many) questions. I really appreciate it. Thank you Mad Barn!

Aramis has been taking the following supplements from Mad Barn since December 2018:
Optimum Probiotic, Omneity, W-3 Oil, and Visceral + as needed. His coat has become very glossy and the blacksmith has noticed that his feet are even healthier. I will not do without it.
These products are now available at several points of sale, and even after buying, Mad Barn is always available for questions and personalized visits when they are needed. Thank you.

I am coming from an 8-day stay at the Upper Canada Village Horse Lover’s Weekend. My horse Indy is their ambassador for “relationship-based riding,” where she walks freely in the village among the crowd: 7,700 for two days of the weekend.
The visitors always comment on her beautiful coat. Indy’s farrier says that she has always had beautiful hooves, but with Mad Barn, her hooves are in “top shape.”

I feel like for horses to consistently compete at their best level, they need to feel great both physically and mentally. Visceral+ is a game-changer for our horses. It keeps them feeling physically great, mentally sound and keeps stress at bay.

My horse Bear’s Chill is your typical “hard keeper”. Being an event horse, he worked extremely hard (5-6 days a week). Despite trying many types of grains and supplements, Bear would not keep weight and never seemed to develop a top line. I quickly became discouraged and felt like giving up. I strongly believe that proper nutrition is the most important factor when it comes to a horse performing their best.

Last year I decided to make some changes when it came to my horses diet, which lead to some miraculous changes in his health and performance. I began a high forage and low grain diet. With minimal grain, and free choice high quality hay my horses health improved tremendously. However, this transformation would have not been possible without my favourite supplement/vitamin: Omneity by Mad Barn. With this vitamin supplement my horse was able to get his daily intake of vitamins without loading him up on grain. He developed a shiny coat, gained weight, and his hooves are looking better than ever! The pelleted version of the vitamin is wonderful, especially since he’s a picky eater. Thank you Mad Barn, my horse has never looked or felt better!

Flirt with Fyre’s first 50 mile race after having 2 yrs off on maternity leave and giving us a fantastic future star filly.
This was her first race using Mad Barn Performance XL electrolytes and she had a perfect day with all A’s and pluses on her vet scorecard and finished the race with a 44 pulse. Thank you Mad Barn for sponsoring this event! 😁❤🏆🥇
