We absolutley swear by it. When we got my sisters tb hunter he was so so thin and an awkward eater, Pink Powder is a probiotic/feed balancer ever since he has been on it he has done well and isnt thin plus he never has that "tucked up" look even after a days hunting. We are that impressed with the results we got, we darnt take him off it!!!
 
it can be fed as an additive to ensure that the horse is receiving enough vitamin/minerals, ie a bit like a balancer, esp if they are on reduced feed quantities.
Also can be fed in the run up to a big show/stressful situation and also after travelling or after receiving antibiotics as a probiotic/ or to older horses, for digestion or as a pick me up if they have been under the weather.

I've used it quite a bit and its worked fairly well- however have found other probiotics to work much better if they have had digestive upsets.
 
Thanks guys...My boy is just coming back into work after getting a fractured pedal bone he was on box rest and lost alot of his condition he ws hunted last year and was ready for showing season he looked fantatic just as this happend in may feel like im back to square one if i started feeding pink powder should i stop feeding my other vit/min which is benevit also does pink powder cause any exciteability?
 
yes I would feed either Pink Powder or your Benevit but not both as that would be a waste of money!

NAF would probably be able to advise you , and no it didn't make my horses excitable!
 
It's great. My mare always has a bit of a sloppy bum and its sorted that problem out. It's only about £13 and a tub lasts for ages.
 
I've fed it to my horse who is grazed on a paddock which encompasses land that used to belong to a dairy farm. Most of the horses and are probiotics or wear muzzles in the summer. The grazing is rich so pink powder was just the thing to stop my horse getting tummy upsets. His colic (I reckon he's had about 20+ episodes now) is always spasmodic colic and on nearly all the ocassions I have fed him three bute and put him on the walker for 20 mins and the colic has subsided. This is what the vet told me to do. Obviously if he doesn't get better I have to call the vet out. however, I am sure it was the vet that told me that you should only feed one tub of it and then swap to something else for a few months, but I have fed it continually to my horse for about 2 years and he has been fine on it. I think it is a brilliant product and very economical to use too.
 
I have used it on my mare when she lost condition. When we upped her food, it was just going straight through her and the pink powder sorted it out completely.
 
My mare's droppings were really loose and smelly when I got her. She was on a course of probiotics when she arrived with me as it was a big journey and change for her then I put her on PP; first as a probiotic and then as a balancer and she's done fantastically well on it.

My gelding was poor when I got him; again gave him a course of probiotics and now he's on PP and looking great.

If your horse is coming off anti-bs or a stressful period then I'd do a course of probiotics first and then use PP as a probiotic (4 scoops for a horse) and then a balancer (2 scoops). If you speak to your vet or NAF they'll be able to advise you re the use of probiotics.
