Starting Gate Granules

Amazing for my horses that take any medication . This helps them and the gut . I give 1/4 cup 2 x a day in there supplement buckets. Helps with ulcers caused by Equioxx or Bute. Thank you for this product .

My 26-year-old horse requires Bute for life to alleviate joint pain. After a year of low dosage Bute, he was acting depressed, which indicated to me that he wasn't feeling well. We have a close relationship and any change in character is easy to read. I started him on this daily and within a week he was back to his cheerful self. I now give it to my other three horses as a preventative with gastric issues. I never run out! This is the remedy we needed.

I like to have this on hand if I need to give a horse bute or banamine for more than a couple days as it is proven to help guard against ulcers that can be caused by NSAIDs. I had to have a mare on bute for three weeks and had no problems with ulcers at all and I feel it was due to feeding this. I recommend it to all my friends. It’s also good to use when weaning a horse off omeprozole. I used to feed lecithin and apple pectin but the convenience of this is worth the little bit extra expense and the horses all seem to accept it readily

I have several friends who had great luck using this product, using it in tandem with ulcergard. Unfortunately it did not work out for my horse but I am happy to pass it along to a friend. Great customer service!

Great product! Delivered promptly

In less than one month our horse went from suspected ulcers, refusing to eat her grain at all, to eating it all and eating it first. Thank you Starting Gate!

So this is a gut supplement, and it seems to do its job relatively well. My gelding ate it right up and didn’t have any issues with the flavor or texture. However, I didn’t really notice any appreciable difference in his body condition or demeanor while he was on it or following that time.The ingredients are lecithin and pectin, which do have some research behind them, but given that these are the main active ingredients, I don’t know if I can justify repurchasing just for this. Additionally, the container at the listed feeding rate is supposed to last 3 weeks. I’m not sure if these supplements are accurately measured, but this barely lasted my horse a week and a half feeding the recommended amount on the container.Certainly better than a lot of gastric supplements out there but a lot to be desired.

UPDATE:5 Stars for customer service less 1 Star because my horse would not eat it.After posting my original review the company contacted me immediately offering a full refund. With that kind of customer service you definitely can afford to try this product.Not returnable so I wouldn't try it. My horse would not touch it. If he won't eat it it can't help him.
