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.

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 photo is of Lancelot and I when we reunited at 23 years old, shortly before he passed away)

This beautiful dun is my mom’s horse that we played with in our gymkhanas this year. She is a registered 5 year old solid paint quarter horse. She has the sweetest disposition and a gorgeous mover! She takes everything we throw at her in stride and has very level head to her! My mom won a buckle with her in her novice division which is an amazing accomplishment for their first year together.

We purchased this girl last august sight unseen. We saw a video and fell in love with her instantly! She came from a well known show stable and was trained very well. She was giving us signs of [redacted] but getting her scoped wasn’t an option as we lived 5 hours north from a vet able to do the procedure. We decided to try her on the visceral mineral, I have seen other friends use this product with success on their horses with [redacted], and decided it was worth the try. Shortly after being on it there was a definite improvement! She still needed to be treated for the [redacted] but to see an improvement with this mineral before a treatment is amazing!! All my horse’s use the madbarn optimum probiotic. I love the madbarn products and love the research that goes into each and every product they sell.

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.

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! 😁❤🏆🥇

I have switched to Amino Trace Plus after almost two years of struggling to find ways to get my horses to eat individual nutrients based on hay analysis – no matter how ideal a ‘custom’ blend it is doesn’t work if they won’t eat it! I finished a 5kg bucket and just received my 20kg bag. My horses eat it willingly, licking bowls clean! It was very easy to buy online, and was shipped across country to me in less than 1 week! Happy customer here for sure

Since all of my boarders and personal horses are on Omneity, all of them have improved their coat/hoof quality. I also offer Visceral+ to boarder’s horses and mine. It does a great deal in making them a happy and comfortable horse that keeps their weight nicely!
My mare loves getting her Visceral+ as a treat after a ride! The services I get with Mad Barn is also always the best!
Thank you Scott and the team for your great products and services!

I’ve been clashing heads with this princess for a week shy of 3 years today 😳

Broke tailbone aside, I sure do love this fat pony. I hope we can maybe get it together this year and have some fun again. In the mean time I am happy to admire her dappled beauty all day every day 😍

Dapples brought to you by Mad Barn. #crazygoodnutrition

I LOVE them. Shes on the chunky side as usual with the grass coming up but cannot complain with dapples like that! I have to give props to Mad Barn here though. She is normally dappled out for most of the year on her own but its really impressive now that I swapped her to this!
