Amazing stuff!! I was using the probiotic for my horses and started my gelding on visceral+ and it’s helped him so much! His whole attitude changed and hes happy! Thank you!!
Mad Barn Supplements Worked For Us!
We used a custom Mad Barn product for 9 of the 13 months we rode from Canada to Guatemala in 2017 and 2018.
Last December Scott made us a custom product that was highly concentrated. I asked for a mix specifcally for hooves, joints and digestion. Something I could carry with me while riding Roxy. On our trip, we rode up to 420 miles a month with a load up to 255lbs.
I really do believe this product helped Roxy stay in peak shape throughout the trip. I used it in soaked feed, whatever I could get along the way. Even better was when I also mixed in sunflower or canola oil, up to 1.5 litres per day.
Ask Scott about the MacLuckie Custom, it has vitamins, minerals, amino acids and probiotics…and no extra anything…
Here’s Roxy before, during and now after the 8000 kilometer trip.
The last photo is from mid October, 1 month after the trip ended. That’s Fernando Paiz beside me with his current endurance race horse. He also uses Mad Barn products. This is what he had to say about Roxy:
“I finally got the chance to meet Chris and Roxy in person. As an endurance rider, I’ve been very lucky to have the chance to ride and meet some of the top horses in the world.
I must say that Roxy is one of those celebrities that has impressed me the most.
We went for a fun ride and could really notice how much Roxy liked cantering around the hills of Itzapa. I was also impressed by her body condition. Chris: what you do is magic. You always find a way to feed her the best. Big congratulations as well to Mad Barn supplements for co-sponsoring Roxy.”
Thanks Mad Barn for making me the best “travel weight” product possible!!!
Chris and Roxy
I’ve tried just about everything over the past year to keep weight on spanky and nothing has given me the results that Mad Barn Omneity and w3 oil has! He’s keeping weight on while still growing and his coat looks amazing. All of our colts are looking and feeling great, as well as our boarders horses! Very impressed with madbarn supplements!
Just a little #madbarn appreciation post! Pulled juniors blanket off for the first time in a couple weeks, to give him a little TLC while he’s on winter vacation and I sure was not disappointed !!! This horse is a HARD keeper at the best of times, and thanks to mad barns W3 oil, he has NEVER looked better!!! Especially in NOVEMBER! He’s usually a woolly mammoth by now!!! 😍 and my old man Poncho is looking better than ever at 20+ years old (nobody even knows 😂) Poncho has had the last year off, and prior to that very light work as a weekly pony horse at the track, poncho was pulled out of a field less than a month ago and started on just 30ML a DAY of W3 oil and the little yellow pill. All I can say is I’m just shocked at how amazing he looks! Believe it or not, he is back to light work, teaching the kids how to rope and he feels just as good as he looks! Thankful for my Mad Barn oil, and the little yellow pill (nrf 2) !
I can’t get over the difference in him since putting him on the Visceral +, he carries his weight better, has filled out considerably in his top line, is less cinchy, and never leaves a meal unfinished. We also swore by the Performance XL all summer, I was at ease knowing he would always drink while on the road.
I feed the Omneity Vit/mineral and love it! Visceral will be added once training start as well for [redacted] prevention!!!

Good afternoon, I just wanted to share with you my experience with your product. In the spring I purchased a very well bred lovely paint mare. Being a show horse she has been campaigned and hauled. Two weeks after brining her home we noticed that she was uncomfortable and her stomach was all tight. I believe she had been on a supplement at the show barn I bought her from and the added stress of a new strange environment had her upset. We suspected [redacted] as is common with show horses. I went to my local tack store and asked what they suggested. Your visceral + product was the choice. It was one of the most expensive products on the shelf but if it worked and made Tilly comfortable that was fine. Within 2 days there was a drastic improvement of my mares condition. I could tell if her dose had been missed based on the consistency of Tilly manure and her general attitude. Your product was working so well for my mare the barn owner put their stallion on it and his transformation has been striking. I’m happy to report that after 5 months Tilly is not showing signs of [redacted]. A combination of turnout excellent nutrition visceral + and a more relaxed lifestyle seems to have allowed them to heal. I am confident that your product was a key component in this success. I have a happy healthy relaxed show horse. Thank you for this product.

Huge thank you to Mad Barn for the amazing opportunity for the boys to be the Canadian Ambassadors for the 2018 RRP Thoroughbred Makeover ! Mollydooker (Luke) and Cotton Sails were just gleaming ! Mad Barn was instrumental in taking Cotton Sails from this 936 lb, 3 year old to the eye catching guy he is today!

I can really say after following Julie Vigneault ‘s suggestion and Catherine Vigneault with thanks to Mad Barn Visveral and oil for Shakira’s Potomac bacterial infection was catastrophic on the stomack and all digestives system…
The improvement and protection against the antibiotic and bacterial attact was amazing recovery.
That is the greatest product one can use for the needed horses.

Place an order friday at 13:30 and arrived at my home in Quebec monday at 14:00. Wow great service!!! Thank You.
For those of you Thoroughbred lovers, you might remember Grand Arch (earner of $2 million in his racing career). I’ve had the honour of helping with his nutrition with his amazing human partner Sarah MacHarg of Passport Sport Horses in Kentucky. He was Reserve Champion tonight of the War Horse Division at the Kentucky Horse Park. I’ll be there to cheer him on at RRP next month! Grand Arch uses Visceral, Omneity and our W3 oil (also known as liquid gold) #madbarn #crazygoodnutrition. Congratulations on an amazing job and good luck on the road ahead.

I’ve been using Mad Barn’s Visceral for a year now for my 7 year old OTTB, and I’ve been very impressed with the results! I’ve tried multiple different [redacted] supplements and this is the first product with which I have seen a significant improvement in his behavior. I love that it ships right to my door and is actually affordable compared to many of the other products available or daily [redacted]. I have also started using their electrolytes and Omneity minerals and have been very happy with those products as well. Thank you Mad Barn!

I can not say enough good things about Mad Barn and what it has done for our horses overall nutrition. When I contacted Scott Cieslar about two years ago I was exhausted from band aid solutions to help with our horses gut issues. I was spending a lot of money on Omeprazole but needed daily maintenance. Ace would just about flip over backwards when we would saddle him and wasn’t running really tough and Rocky would buck and swish his tail with his ears pinned back during a run. I tried the Visceral + and after two weeks the difference in their attitudes and performance was incredible. It’s easy to order, shipped right to my door!
Scott recently came out to our farm and did a complete nutritional evaluation on our feed program right down to testing our hay. He has put together an easy to follow program that continues to help Ace, Rocky and our newest addition Pilgrim, be successful in the rodeo pen or just happier horses overall.
I HIGHLY recommend Mad Barn and all they have to offer!
Love the products, excellent customer service! Definitely recommend!
Vanquish was the champion of the 1 – 1.10m division today in jumper land. Powered by #madbarn #crazygoodnutrition
Mad Barn is the best! Placed an order on Thursday afternoon and received it today! So excited to start my new horse on Visceral Plus!
She did 80 km in a humidex of 44C earlier today. She finished with all A’s and +’s meaning she was in perfect metabolic and muscular condition. Keeping her well hydrated was essential and we depended on Mad Barn electrolytes to replace lost salts during sweating and to encourage drinking! Mariah has excelled since we switched to mad barn products.
J’utilise Mad Barn depuis le début. J’ai toujours aimé leurs produits. Mon cheval de course a fait des merveilles sur le viscéral. Et actuellement mon cheval d’équitation est sur l’omneity et l’huile w3 et elle a l’air et se sent AMAZING. Elle est allée à son premier spectacle le week-end dernier à Old Orchard et s’est classée dans chacune de ses classes avec une 1ère, 2ème, 3ème, 5ème et 6ème. Merci Mad Barn !!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been using Mad Barn for about a year now. Started my 14 year old TB on Visceral+ and noticed a huge improvement. After a few months switched him to their Optimum Digestive Health Pellets. He’s done amazing on both products. Recently he’s shown signs of hind gut [redacted] again and have just put him back on Visceral+. This is the only product that seems to truly [redacted].
I love that the company realized the Visceral+ pellets tested in competition due to the chamomile ingredient. This company is so amazing they removed this one ingredient so that customers didn’t have to switch to the paste a few days before competition. A company that listens is amazing. Their customer service is astounding, quick and helpful. Their shipping is also just as amazing. Usually my order is in my hands within a day or two. I absolutely love this company and am happy to continue purchasing from them.

Thank you Mad Barn for providing such fantastic products that don’t break the bank! I started my 13 year old mare who was a cribber on Visceral on April 9th, less then then a week later she had completely quit cribbing. She went from cribbing every time I looked while wearing a crib collar cinched tight, to not cribbing at all and she no longer wears her crib collar. Thank you thank you thank you! Even when run on [redacted] meds she continued to crib. This is life changing for her and for me!

Thank you Mad Barn for taking the time to talk with Cierra and myself we look forward to trying your products .
Excellent products! I tried Visceral for one of my horses after it was recommended by a friend and I saw such positive changes in his manure, coat condition, and attitude that I am now planning to try it with my stallion who is starting his competition and breeding career.
Thank you Mad Barn once again for the great products you produce. Lolita finished 2nd on the 120km and was Best Condition! This GIRLS WAS ON FIRE!
Great quality product. We received our order very promptly
My horse, Sundance, has been on Mad Barn’s Omneity formula for the past year now. He has gone through a major transformation since he has been taking these supplements. His hooves were in terrible shape and he lacked stamina. Today,his coat is shiny, his hooves are phenomenal and he has tremendous endurance on trail. The Omneity formula has enhanced Sundance without having him gain additional weight or making him high strung.”
In addition, Scott Cieslar, is a wonderful businessman who is extremely kind, efficient and knowledgeable. He truly is all about customer service and goes above and beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend Mad Barn for your horses’s nutrition. I, for one, definitely look forward to doing business with Scott and Mad Barn for years to come!
Pony Profile Time!😀
So I have had quite a few people ask me about how I keep my horses and so I thought this could be something fun to post and possibly interesting for others.
I’ll start with my true gentleman, Reagan aka Campaigning❤️🐎
2009 OTTB, 16.1h
Expert cribber, will eat ANYTHING, very easy going personality, prone to impaction colics(Ulcer flareups make him go off his water), gains weight easily but loses it just as easily, the sweetest horse you will EVER meet.☺️
Turn-out: All day, 8-9 in summer. In winter 8-8 or earlier if weather is gross. *Reagan comes in over night so we can monitor his water intake very closely.
Feeding: 9 flakes spread out over 3 feedings, summer when grazing is at its best 6 flakes
*hay consists of half 1st and half 2nd cut. And grazing as much as he wants.
“Grain”: Omniety Vit/min supplement by MadBarn, Visceral by Mad Barn(this is to keep his ulcers at bay), Mad Barn oil
Summer-2 cups flax and 1 cup oil is added to his diet, he was showing at Preliminary level eventing.
*when travelling and at shows his Visceral is doubled.
In winter his shoes are removed and I let him get all furry just to give him a little down time. I hack out quite a bit more in winter so the furry coat keeps
him nice and cozy.❄️🐴❄️
Stay tuned to see who’s next???😀
Super happy with his weight, it has never been this good. His cribbing is pretty much non existent and his feet look amazing. Pulled his shoes and they have held up and he was sound to ride the same day. He has struggled with poor feet since I got him 4yrs ago. The Omniety is a huge factor for his improved hoof health as well as reg. and consistent excellent hoof care.😊
AMOUR AMOUR AMOUR AMOUR cette entreprise et je ne dis pas cela parce que Madbarn me sponsorise, mais parce que je fais sincèrement confiance à leurs produits à 100%. Mon OTTB est un peu gênant avec la consommation d’eau et a eu plusieurs coliques d’impaction graves, dont l’une aurait pu se terminer très mal. J’avais donc besoin de savoir ce dont il avait besoin, Scott et Mad Barn arrivent !!!!! Je voulais un bon produit, honnête et fidèle à lui-même, sans ajout de produits de remplissage inutiles ou de sucres inutiles, etc. Alors ma BADO, nommée Campagne, participe maintenant à des compétitions de niveau préliminaire sur le foin, l’Omniety, le Viseral et le lin moulu. Son poids est GRAND et son cribbing n’a pratiquement plus rien. Tous mes autres chevaux, qu’ils soient en compétition ou non, sont sur Omniety et n’ont jamais été aussi beaux, y compris ma croix TB semi-retraitée de 19 ans qui a eu besoin de chaussures toute sa vie et qui vit maintenant pieds nus et heureux !!!! J’adore vraiment ce truc, ça marche et j’ai confiance dans les ingrédients et Madbarn et mes poneys ont l’air AMAZING !!!!! Yay Mad Barn !!!!!!
