Did you know that horses have three pairs of salivary glands that can produce almost ten gallons of saliva every day?
That’s a lot of liquid!?

We love receiving all of your powerful stories, so keep them coming…

As a veterinarian, I am very skeptical about using calming products, especially all natural, FEI legal ones that don’t break the bank. My good friend told me to try SynChill paste. She used it on her event horses and said it works wonders. I was skeptical once again, but thought I’d place an order to try them. My mare was diagnosed with severe ulcers after her scope that proved to be impossible to treat. She was then treated for EPM and getting her back to work was a struggle, no magnesium, tryptophan, or any other product was taking off the edge the way I needed to feel safe getting on her. She was even deemed dangerous by 2 trainers. SynChill paste was my last-ditch effort. I waited the full 2 hours after administration to ride. She was a saint! My girl was back. We use SynChill paste religiously when we haul off the farm for lessons or schooling. I’ve noticed her focus is spot on she’s ready to work. She’s happy, comfortable and safe which is the most important thing!

Thank you,

Loving Preacher on GastroMend! He has been such a picky eater and hard keeper his entire life. He hasn’t been on it 30 days yet and even in the hot Texas heat he is cleaning up all his feed and putting on weight. He is looking amazing! Thank you!”

Thank you,

Team Rider Updates:

Synnutra Team Rider Daniel Bluman and Gemma W won the $300,000 LONGINES Hampton Classic Grand Prix Presented by Land Rover.
Bluman, two-time Olympic veteran and 2017 Hampton Classic Grand Prix champion, piloted Blue Star Investments’ Gemma W, a 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare, around the ring after five-time U.S. Olympian McLain Ward took the lead, finishing in a time of 36.790 seconds.
 
Bluman had the advantage of watching Ward’s round. “I was watching everything McLain did carefully,” Bluman said. “He’s a fast rider, and he loves to win this class. Then the crowd went crazy when he finished, and I had so many emotions at that point. I just said to myself that I was going to give everything – absolutely everything – I had. I was going to take all the risks, and I was going to beat him. I wasn’t going to be slower than him today. And it worked out.” “It was a really incredible feeling,” Bluman added. “It’s really special not only because it’s the Hampton Classic, but because it’s McLain Ward on his home turf. To beat him today is definitely going to be one that I’ll remember.”
