Did you know that horses have 10 different muscles in their ears?
This allows them to rotate nearly 180 degrees and move independently of one another. Humans only have three muscles in their ears!

We love receiving all of your powerful stories, so keep them coming…
Just wanted to say thank you! We have 2 wild mustangs that we adopted about a month ago and our 14-month-old needs her hooves done badly. She’s been doing really good with picking up her feet but when the farrier comes, she gets very anxious. Your product, SynChill, allowed my farrier to finally trim all 4 hooves of my 14-month-old wild mustang!
Your product is amazing, and I am going to be ordering a box of 12 tubes! I have referred several other horse trainers I know to your amazing products.
Thank you,
Kali
New SynNutra Promoter
Hi everyone! My name is Melissa Lehmann and I’m very excited about the opportunity to promote and distribute SynNutra products. I am from Bemidji, which is a town in Northern Minnesota.
My daughter introduced me to barrel racing about 5 years ago and I’ve been hooked since. My equine partners are a 5-year-old bay mare I call Nina (MS Okeys Seis) and an 11-year-old sorrel mare called Rumor (FK Flyin Miss Elvis). In order to keep them as competitive as possible, it’s important to me to find products that are safe, effective, and non-testing.

When I’m not barrel racing, I work full-time in IT, and I have a 9-year-old son that keeps me on my toes. My daughter is off on her own enjoying rodeo where she competes mostly in barrel racing, but she sometimes enters the breakaway roping too.
Feel free to reach out to Melissa at 218-760-8430 and find her for a free sample.
