Melissa Janssen - Dressage by Me

"I really came to believe in this product and already within a short period of time. I really noticed in my horses a difference in eating behaviour, training behaviour and they were very happy and calm in their heads, especially at the times when I ask something of them, but also when they are just being nice horses and in the pasture or stable."

Melissa's story

"I am grateful and proud with the opportunity to best provide my horses with the right supplements that will serve them well for their health and well-being but also apply to their daily routine for training and working towards competitions, transport, other stressful situations in strange locations.

I noticed the difference very soon, as I have had my light tour horse from foalhood, so I know and feel him through and through. He is actually a difficult eater though and I was amazed at how tastefully he ate this with his slobber. In the past, I was fed a lot of supplements with difficulty and actually noticed minimal or no difference. Mastic Horse Treatment is very easy to use in that my horses also like it and so it is easy to administer."

Easy to use

"There are many different factors my horses have to deal with besides their regular, structured training and living schedules. Think of transport, moving, heavy training, different types of accommodation, competitions and possible overnight/stabling at yards. I will be saddling my stallion this spring and of course he does suffer from his hormones and besides, both horses are also high in blood.

I want the best for my stallion knowing that he is going to experience and experience and learn a lot. When my light tour horse was young, I was never really able to find a good product until I came across Mastic Horse Treatment! I find it a nice and easy product to use. And of course my light tour horse strains mega hard for training and sometimes sees some spookiness in the ring which then makes him too spooky. In addition, it is my worry child as he is very sensitive in character and likes to eat with long teeth."

My horse back in his skin

"The young stallion just always got it over his afternoon lunch so kibble with carrots... He ate it like that. My light tour horse Dreamy-boy struggled with the move for a while and then I mixed it with apple sauce in his slobber and his other supplements for muscle maintenance. In the end, both horses now eat it very easily in the chunks, muesli or in the slobber.

I actually noticed a difference with Dreamy after only three to four days, especially in his behaviour. With training, he was less irritated and it seemed like he was no longer bothered. The stallion is now completely calm in his open stable, mill and paddock. He was often a bit distracted anyway. I think he is totally comfortable in his skin now. He looks so contented."
