Does anyone feed Creatine for muscle development?

[Sugar Plum]

Hi, I am working on building up my gelding's top line and wonder if anyone has any experience using creatine as a supplement for muscle development?

I think there is no quick fix to an improved top line. Correct and consistent work is the key.

All I know about it is that it is illegal to feed this to racehorses, so probably best stick to proper training and riding.

Leo walker, interesting article. I wonder why companies punt creatine as a muscle developer when it isn't proven (assuming your article is correct).
Other comments, of course exercise is key, feed will just make fat if it isn't converted to muscle. I am just looking at supplements to enhance the top line, not magically make it appear. If there was something available for a six pack in a can I would be first in the queue ?

There are no supplements to enhance top line though.

I use daily whey protein isolate in my old boys feed when i was trying to help in the development of muscle a few years back now together with consistent schooling/lessons, as it is apparently quite tricky to get muscle/top line development on a Cushings horse in his v late teens, and it did seem to work within months..coincidence.?... I have no idea!
