Hi,
Does anyone use chaste tree berries for cushings ponies? If so what results did you get. I read an article online about them and would be very interested in anyones opinion that has used them.
Thanks
 
Hi, i used them in liquid form for our cushings mare. Helped with her attitude. She got had become more grumpy as the cushings progressed. Had good results with this and highest recomended dose of electrolytes. However each cushings pony has proved to be different (we have had five over the years), has been a bit of trial and error with regards to supplements. :)
 
Hi I use the powdered form on my cushings pony. Only started a few weeks ago but would be interested to hear other people's results, and also how much dosage people give their horses/ponies.
 
I've heard that they can work quite well in the short term - but it depends on how severe the cushings is.

I know Prascend is expensive, but it does work.
 
I have only heard good things about them.
