Equine America Vita Biotic

[RachelB]

Has anyone used this stuff before? Noticed any changes? My horse is currently on about five supplements seperately and although they are working, I think it may be cheaper and easier to give her one all-round one like Vita Biotic. She is doing better than she was on her GP supplement so that's really what I'm looking for, although I'm also hoping the probiotic will help her actually use all the energy I'm pumping into her, rather than being an idle so-and-so until I let her out in the field!
Opinions appreciated!

Not heard of it personally, but just curious as to what supps she's on?

Vita Biotic is very good stuff. Perked up a "quiet" horse quite well, and does what it says on the tin!!

She's on Equivite Original as she's getting very little hard feed (just chaff at the mo), Equine America Bleader Gard to see if it helps stop her nosebleeds, salt as she pees and sweats for England (!), and Hilton Herbs Reflex just while she's stabled more over the winter, will be off that when they change to summer routine and are out more. She is naturally a very laid-back horse which is why we bought her, but she does have a tendancy to not use any of the energy I feed her unless she feels like trashing her field! I just need a bit more energy for myself but obviously don't want to put her on any more supps as it can't be good for her! So if I had her on Vita Biotic I'd take out the Equivite and not have to worry about giving her another probiotic supp or something.
Most of the supps are experiments at the mo as I've not had her long, when the packets/tubs run out I'll take her off them to see if they have worked!

Excellent sounds like good stuff then, thanks KatB!
