Fenugreek... anyone feed it?

[_jetset_]

As the title really...

My friend has suggested Fenugreek to help with Grace's muscle conditioning and I am planning on trying it, but was wondering whether anyone else had used it for the reason and if so whether they had any success.

It is the pure Fenugreek.

its in alot of the herbal supplements already. i havent fed the pure version though

Yes we do.
It's supposed to work a bit like a natural anabolic steroid..
And it encourages fussy eaters.

Henryhorn, would you recommend it for a horse who has been off work for a while and is now back in full work to help condition the muscle?

Yes I feed that (with Linseed) and it's made a real difference to Ronnie. CBAnglo knows a lot about it - try PMing her.

We've used it on and off for years, mostly if something won't put weight on I remember how good it is and buy more.
Julie Dicker the horse healer was the person who recommended it to me and I have to say it's worked on everything I tried it on. I probably give about a desertspoon full a day.

I feed Fenugreek & Garlic combined. Fed together they enhance each others properties even further. Equus Health do several versions of the combination. One is called 'Winter Glow, Summer Shine' I think.
