Hi Faye,

I just wanted let you know how much I appreciate all you have done for me and my horses over the past year. As you know, I was introduced to the HS-35 through a horse purchase from Splash’d w/Black Paint Horses in Ogilvie MN. I was immediately impressed with the product, which gave my horses a wonderful coat and renewed energy. I have had Arabians most of my life and used many different products, grains mixes and supplements without much success and a lot of expense. Due to your kind and knowledgeable direction we are all on a much happier, healthier and cheaper road of life. Although I don’t show any of my horses, I feel like they could step into a ring today and look like they had been conditioned and prepped for months without having done anything other than having given them a haircut and bath! I am including a detailed account of my most challenging horse story to date in hopes that my testimony will help other owners and the horses they love. You will note that I used three of the products you recommended: HS-35™, 911 Emergency Crisis Care Paste® and Cool Calories 100.® I feel that by using all three of the above ingredients in conjunction with a good diet of oats and quality grass hay, I was able to see such dramatic results in just 90 days. I have told several people about your products, but I have found that most don’t ‘believe it until they see it.’ Well, this is for all you skeptics out there.....!!!

Sincerely,

Maria Jefferis

“MISTY”

This first group of photos was taken at her previous owners, who unfortunately took a hard hit with the unexpectedly cruel Colorado winter and was struggling to feed 20-30 head. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to bring Misty home and put the products to the test and see the diamond in the rough I had found!

March 10, 2007 – arrived approx. 3:00 p.m., bright, but calm. Not sure how much [calm] was due to lack of nutrition or a combo of her good nature and poor eating. Per owner she was on straight alfalfa and grain, but amount unknown.

Fed her only 80% grass/20% alfalfa hay the first night as to not stress her; water

March 11, 2007 – a.m. gave one full tube of 911 Emergency Crisis Care paste, fed same free-choice hay and started on grain: 3 C grass hay pellets, 1 C alfalfa hay pellets watered down and mixed with ¼ C barley (rolled); ¾ C oats(rolled); HS-35; one ounce Cool Calories; water – p.m. same free choice hay & grain ration as am, water - didn’t mean to give the Cool Calories in p.m. and will see how she does. If stools are loose then will cut back to a.m. only and build on that amount.

*Plan: To buy her own good quality straight grass hay or high grass mix, whole oats, [free choice] white salt block and give a natural wormer (1x) for future feedings – should be able to do tomorrow and start at evening or Tuesday a.m. feeding.

*Goal: To increase grain to four lbs per day and Cool Calories amount up to a max eight ounces per day over the next 30 days and maintain that level for 30 days, then taper back down to one ounce a.m. & p.m., keeping the oats at the higher level to maintain weight gain over the next 30 days and re-evaluate after that.

March 12, 2007 – p.m. started on straight grass free choice, 3 C grass hay pellets, 1½ C alfalfa hay pellets, 1 C whole oats, HS 35, one ounces Cool Calories – no loose stools so far so will continue with the two ounces per day & increase per “Plan.”

March 13, 2007 – a.m./p.m. feeding as per March 12, 2007 p.m. regiment – wormed with Strongid® as was told just as mild as a natural paste based on weight * weight 800 lbs, 15 hands.

March 14, 2007 – increase oats to 2½ C per day, keeping Cool Calories at two ounces per day for now.

March 17, 2007 – increase oats to 3 C per day; increase Cool Calories to three ounces per day.

March 19, 2007 – all four [feet] trimmed: introduced to pasture after a.m. grain feeding and two hours of hay access.

March 20, 2007 – increase oats to 3½ C per day; increase Cool Calories to four ounces per day.

March 23, 2007 – increase oats to 4 C per day; increase Cool Calories to five ounces per day

March 26, 2007 – increase oats to 4½ C per day; increase Cool Calories to six ounces per day – turnout all day after am grain so not eating any hay in am other than the pellets.

March 29, 2007 – increase oats to 5 C per day; increase Cool Calories to seven ounces per day

April 1, 2007 – ** Birthday six yrs ** - increase oats to 5 ½ C per day; increase Cool Calories to eight ounces per day – continued to give free choice hay in PM but put on pasture all day.

April 12, 2007 – 30 days here, obvious weight gain as per photos below, very alert, energetic and feeling good.

April 13, 2007 – increase oats to 7½ C per day.

April 16, 2007 – increase oats to 8 C per day = 4 lbs: Maintain all rations until approx. May 17, 2007 and then re-evaluate.

May 14, 2007 – a.m. & p.m. 3 C grass hay pellets vs. any hay, 1 C alfalfa pellets, 2 C whole oats, ½ C HS 35, 4 ounces Cool Calories and all day pasture.

June 1, 2007 – reduced Cool Calories to 2 ounces per feeding.

June 2, 2007 – wormed with Exodus weight 950 lbs.

June 10, 2007 – reduced Cool calories to 1ounce per feeding as looking really good and almost “fat” – if she continues to look good in another week will omit all together and then start adjusting oats accordingly.

June, 2007 – took off Cool Calories – maintain other rations for now.

June 19, 2007 – all four [hooves] trimmed – farrier very impressed with her “new look” – ungroomed.

*Please note that 911 Emergency Crisis Care paste was used only once with this mare. In addition to helping “jump start” thin horses, it also has a multitude of other uses including colic, after foaling and for diarrhea (adults and foals). Anyone who owns, shows, breeds, races, trail rides or transports horses should keep a tube on hand in case of an emergency. In other words, if you own a horse, you cannot afford to be without one! (HS-35 Nutrition Consultant Faye Rudsenske).

**HS-35 is fed according to the weight of the horse and cannot be fed with any other fortified feed.
