We receive many calls or emails on a daily basis from grateful customers expressing their appreciation. Normally, we would post these testimonials on our HS-35 Power tab, but the following were so powerful that we decided to post them on our home page (because we are seeing an overabundance of IR and laminitic/foundered horses that need help).
Feel free to contact the following individuals who have turned their horses around using our products. These testimonials were unsolicited.
If you have testimonials that you would like to share, or questions, please email faye@hs35.net.
As always, HS-35 is American made and owned.
Here’s the latest news from HS-35 clients:
Cresty Neck? A January Warning
Sue McKenna
Jasper, MN
I have four horses, two of which are prone to laminitis. In both, the first sign of danger is a “cresty” neck. The neck gets hard as a rock, with a massive bulge across the top. If you have it in your horse, you know what I mean. For me, it’s a red flag that an attack is building. I’ve also learned that a horse doesn’t always show the classic founder stance to suffer sub-laminitic damage to the hoof.
Because I feed these two mares only well-cured grass hay, I had been looking for a good, all-around, affordable supplement. I thought a vitamin/mineral mix might help support hoofs. I tried many of the commercial top dresses on the market. I still had problems. A trainer friend—who has a Cushing’s mare—suggested a product called HS-35.
I’ve used it now for about a year. After the first month, I simply put all four animals on it. One 50 lb. bag lasts one horse three months; the pony, six. It’s $47 a bag [Sioux Falls dealer].
This fall, winter coats came in thick and lush (and soft), and all have good, solid feet. The pony, which foundered last winter on all FOUR feet, is doing well. She runs freely. I have finally gotten her to a healthy weight, and she’s not constantly “rooting”—she’s satisfied with her hay. There is no longer a difference between the necks of the easy keepers and the others. I’ve also noticed tendons (one mare bowed her tendons—laminitis affects a lot of things) are no longer puffy.
I’m sharing info here, because while most people think Spring is the most dangerous time for a laminitis attack due to new grass (also true), my experience is WINTER is far more serious. A horse’s metabolism gets very economical in winter. It’s how Mother Nature designed it to survive. If your horse is even mildly insulin resistant, this seasonal metabolism shift can bring trouble.
One nice side effect of all this is how HS-35 has helped my checkbook. I have no need for expensive “safe” processed bag feed. For the two healthy animals, I can simply feed a little plain oats if I want. My hay goes further. My salt blocks last longer. My horses drink more water, so their digestion works better. (Less chance of colic)
If you are seeing the same thing in your horse and are interested in sharing info, please feel free to contact me. If you are interested in seeing what HS-35 can do for you, we now have a supplier near Sioux Falls. (Cathy Pirrung, 605-321-6402). I have absolutely no financial incentive in any of this. I’m just happy I don’t have to drive so far to get it anymore.

I purchased some HS-35 for my stallion a less than 100 days ago, and I currently have my boarder on it that came in in pretty rough shape (a 3 in body score). The boarder is doing WONDERFUL and has put on tons of weight, perked up and major coat (overall) improvement. My stallion, who was also going through some mysterious swelling at the time, has cleared up and not shown itself again. He is doing great on his new program.
Needless to say, we are very happy with the results of the HS-35 and straight oat feeding program, and so is my boarder’s owner. I am also trying to get my neighbor to simplify her feeding program and get her horses off the sweet feed and on the HS-35 and oats. I think it will save her time and money. If my boarder brings her other horse out in the spring I plan get him on it and off the Smart Pak. I also plan on getting a filly and another broodmare and plan to keep them on it as well.
Thank you so much!
