Why Horse Owners Choose Equine Chia

Horse owners across a wide range of disciplines use Equine Chia to support digestion, metabolism, coat quality, recovery, hydration, appetite, sand clearing, and whole-body wellness.

These stories reflect real experiences from performance horses, seniors, metabolic horses, rescues, picky eaters, and horses needing digestive support.

Sand Clearing & Whole-Horse Wellness

“I originally bought Equine Chia for sand-clearing benefits because my picky Thoroughbred would not eat anything with psyllium in it.

Now my other horses are benefiting too. My spotted draft has reduced inflammation and laminitis. My Quarter Horse cross has a remarkably smooth, soft coat.

The 24-day challenge works!”

— Cindy, Washington

Metabolic & Rescue Horse Support

“Dieting, obese and insulin-resistant horses are hard to feed, but Chia makes an amazing result in helping keep them from having blood sugar spikes and lows.

Hershey is a rescue horse that arrived very malnourished. Just four weeks later he looked like a different horse. Chia was instrumental in his recovery.”

— Casey
The Golden Carrot Horse Rescue

From Ulcer Discomfort to Happy Performance Horse

“I want to share what Equine Chia has done for my horse. My horse increasingly became worse to the point of completely refusing the barrel pattern. Guessing she had ulcers, I was told to put her on Omeprazole.

I prefer the natural route when feeding my horses, so instead I researched Equine Chia and all of its benefits.

After two months on Equine Chia, you can see the huge difference in FelinasLadyMohawk. She is eager and happy to enter the arena and run. I believe Equine Chia is an essential ingredient to all of my horses’ health.”

— Dreux LaVelle Clark

From Defensive Rescue Horse to Loving Companion

“I have a rescue Thoroughbred with ulcers and stifle problems. Within a few weeks on Equine Chia, his moods completely turned around. He became a loving, wonderful horse.

When I got him, I could not approach him. He would try to attack me, bite, and kick. All along he was trying to tell me about his stomach problems.

On three occasions I ran out of Equine Chia and after a few weeks his behavior went back to the way it was when I first got him. After three times of this, I am convinced Equine Chia is the answer.”

— Jenna, Southern California

Senior Horse Mobility & Performance

“My 20-year-old mare Luna suffered lameness associated with aging joints. After about a month on Equine Chia, she was striding out of her stall with no swelling or stiffness.

She went on to win a Jumper Championship at 3'3" and fox hunted for over two hours with no bute before or after.

One thing for sure—I am not willing to take her off Equine Chia.”

— Sue, Vermont

Senior Horse Wellness & Mobility

“We love the chia seed! Our Quarter Horse is now 36. We chose chia seed to treat him for sand colic.

After three months, our vet said his heart murmur improved and he has more mobility and flexibility in his joints.

Thank you for a great product!”

Equine Chia is naturally low in sugar and starch, making it a useful whole-food option for many horses needing metabolic-conscious support.

— Grace Moore, with Gunner & Lil Sue

— Pauqel Incari, Oregon

Picky Eaters & Palatability

One of the strongest themes in the testimonials is that horses willingly eat Equine Chia, even picky eaters.

Testimonials

— Liz

“My picky eaters are eating the seeds straight out of the bucket and come running when they see the white bucket.”

— Lisa Parkhurst, Richmond, Virginia

— A.D., Horse Owner and Veterinarian, Maryland

“We have picky eaters and they clean up Chia eagerly.”

— Sharon, Oregon Horse Ranch

Rescue & Senior Horse Support

Equine Chia is also used by rescue owners and senior horse owners looking for simple daily support for digestion, condition, recovery, and whole-body wellness.

— Nadine, Project Spirit Horse Rescue and Rehab, Oregon

“Hershey is a rescue horse that arrived very malnourished in June. Just four weeks later he looked like a different horse. Chia was instrumental in his recovery.”
