I decided to use this for my 6yo mare as a preventative. She’s running great, firing hard and loves the flavor so much, that she licks her bucket clean.

17 year old rope horse for my daughter hasn’t stopped this hard in awhile, optiwize has her feeling better than she has in a long time.
I will have to get a video soon, to show how well my 25YO mare is doing on OptiWize! She was diagnosed with Navicular syndrome a year and a half ago. The "latest" protocol at the time (I'd not heard about OptiWize) was an injection. I did not notice any difference in the mare's lameness after injecting her. She's been on OptiWize for about six weeks now, and rarely does a head-bob. It's going to be OptiWize for her for the foreseeable future!
Start my mare 5/16 as of this date the hoofs are growing out without new acid pockets and the white line is as healing. I’m hopeful she will be cured within the next 2 months.
Started using optiwise on my mare 3 months after her traumatic pelvic fracture she sustained from a negligent trainer . She has started bearing more wt through her leg and is getting stronger.
My horse has had a reoccurring soft tissue injury since I bought him. I started him on this product 3 months ago after we started rehab process and the joint capsule pain has subsided along with the iveralll inflammation in both front fetlocks. His comfort level has improved and ultrasounds show a significant change in density of the suspensory branches. We are well on our way to show again and will be using this as a pre caution supplement on all my horses going forward!! The ingredients are all what I would want in a supp element if I was investing to make one on my own!! Very impressed and also started my dog on the canine version :)
My daughter’s 19 year old Barrel Horse, Leo suffered a spiral fracture to his right leg November 29, 2022. We were told that IF he recovered, it would be at least September before we could start riding him. I put him on Optiwize around March. At our follow up visit May 10 the vet thought she was looking at the wrong XRay as his fracture was COMPLETELY HEALED!!! He is now ready to be ridden and we can start legging him up for barrels!!! I really feel that Optiwize has helped speed his healing tremendously!!!
Saves on injections to the point I haven’t had them in 2 years
I have had great results with Optiwize!My rodeo mare got injured last year pulling her deep digital flexor tendon in both legs. I thought she would never come back the same. I started using Optiwize She came back running like her old self and hasn’t missed a beat ! I couldn’t be more happy!
I started Optiwise before they made it for people. I mixed it into anything I could choke down… at my 2 week checkup after my neck surgery the doctor said he had never seen so much bone growth so quickly
I think this product has definitely helped my show horse in ways nothing else has! He now feels like a whole new horse under me!
This product is a game changer for my gelding. Have been using product for over a year and will continue to use.
My gelding feels better then ever 🌟 thank you optiwize
My 4 yr old mare was just diagnosed with early arthritis in her right jock. This must have been from her yearling year, she came off of a large ranch not messed with much. Since having her she was broke out at a 3 year old and ridden for only 2 months not hard. When I got her back she went back out to pasture as I had just had a baby she wasn’t restarted again until the next spring (4 yr old yr) this summer has been light work getting a good foundation. I have intentions on her being a barrel mare. So this news was devastating. Especially since she’s the last horse I have after loosing my two finished runners to an accident. She was my last hope, so after hearing she has early arthritis I was devastated. I had spoke to a few friends who had great success with Optiwize. I decided it was worth a shot. This is the 3rd week, she initially didn’t want to eat it and was being very picky. After some trial and error she’s eating it now no problem. I will say she is much more perky, not such a dead head. She doesn’t seem to have any pain in her back after I ride now either ( one of the side effects from her hock). And she’s moving much more fluently. As of now I’m going to continue Optiwize and re do X-rays next spring to hopefully see improvements before I get her injected.
The hoof growth and overall health and speed it’s added to this horse is incredible. Forever a Optiwize user!
My good mare was off last October and gradually got worse, to the point that she was living in soft rides and would only walk between the water and feed. I had her specifically shod, x-rays, the works. They couldn’t pinpoint why she was limping. I ended up feeding a small bag of Optiwize that I won at a barrel race, as I’m getting to the bottom of the bag I am now able to start trail riding her and she is 80% sound and getting better every week. We’re still not sure what was going on in her feet but grateful for Optiwize in giving me my girl back❤️
This supplement is worth the money! I bought an older horse that was very underweight, headed to slaughter and has a progressed case of ringbone. He has been on Optiwise for almost two months. He looks and feels great! Several time he has been seen running in the pasture. Did I mention he is 26?!
Optiwise helps the ole guy keep up with the young ones. Thanks for a super product.
She's still lame, but so much better even though she looks bad. The vet was out and looked at her the end of September and was surprised at how flexible her leg is and how well she handles her leg given the sized of the knees. she remains standing most of the time which the vet says is an indication that she is not in pain. If you review the 1st video I sent you, she was having trouble even moving a few feet. I'm hoping I can afford keep her on this product through foaling and the raising of the foal.
I’ve been really happy with this joint supplement! I’ve noticed a difference in how my barrel horses feel and move, and I love knowing I’m giving them some extra support for their joints. I’ve even started putting my young horses on it before getting them started. Definitely a product I’ll continue using and would recommend to other horse owners! I don’t think I can feed anything else now!
I have used this before on my daughter’s older gelding who was showing navicular changes. After a few weeks he was amped up and literally knocking over trash cans due to more energy and feeling better. It was a noticeable difference. I’m on week 2 I believe currently and starting to show signs of feeling better and moving out better.
All four of my four legged babies are on Optiwize. It has helped my mate who suffers from laminitis and my pups who have joint issues. Love the ingredients. I have hoped for years that I would be able to find all these great natural ingredients in the same place. Now it is and I could not be more happy. It works on all four in addition myself and my mother are on it!! Thank you Optiwize!!
The product has been helpful as part of the big picture. The horse overcame an old roping injury and has thankfully become a phenomenal trail horse.
Our mare had pain almost every time she was ridden in her front feet/legs. We’ve been using optiwize for over a month and she’s not showing pain and can get through jr rodeos and riding with out limping. Thankful we tried this product. Our daughter loves her mare and is her number one rodeo horse.
My 20 year old Star Friesian gelding presented with a problem in his right hind fetlock. When trotting out he could not track up fully. Walk is fine. Vet said tendon problem. Researched it & found an article on Fetlock Hyperextension. I ordered an 8 pound bag, now on my 2nd 8 pound bag. Seeing some improvement in his trot, no video of that yet. Also, at rest he is standing on that foot much more & will let me pick up his opposite foot putting weight on his bad leg. I also have added vitamin E, Lysine, Copper & Zinc as per the article I found. I will continue with the OptiWize & see if I can get more improvement.
Optiwize has been a great supplement in helping our horse stay in shape and to help out her joints. Healthy coat and hair, great hoof growth and in health.we have been using it for over a year!
My horse loves the taste and looks and feels great
3 year old Streak in breaking and training clinic with his mothers brother Mac learning to pony. Thanks to your product by his fourth saddle, in two days , he was riding and Roping the Smarty Cow. his uncle is now our official colt breaker. Both in the best athletic condition and ready for the job.
All have both these horses on optiwize and it makes a HUGE difference. Running their fastest times!
I have been using optiwize for a couple of years now and love it. My horses overall wellbeing have never been better! Helps with the hooves, hair coat and joints. Great total body supplement!
This Emilee she has DSLD.I started noticing she was laying down more. Can across this product and decide to try it. So far she is moving. She has only been on it for 3 weeks, excited to see a few months from now
This horse had swelling in both front legs when purchased from recent sale. He’s a potential race horse and needed to be sound. I started giving him the optiwize twice a day on the recovery dosage and swelling is completely gone and he acts like a baby and plays like he should. Drastic change
I absolutely love OptiWize. The improvement in my boy's health and mood was very impressive. He went from being down, sad and grumpy to being him again. The first bag did the trick. He will be on it for as long as he breathes.
It’s great to see him rolling again!
My boy has ringbone and was unable to compete before Optiwize. Now he can and I love it. This stuff is great.
This is my barrel horse jazz. She came running out of the pasture for dinner time on May 17th 2026. She jumped and kicked up playing and caught her flank on the edge of the gate of her stall. The laceration was about 13 inches long, maybe more. We took her to the vet and they could not stitch it because it was in a high mobile area so they had to leave it open to heal on its own. We have already been using optiwize for other horses, and we decided to put her on it but at the loading dose and continued with two doses every day since then. As of August 19 she is almost completely healed. We believe optiwize has helped her heal so much faster and we are very happy with this product! Thank you optiwize!
My mare completely severed her deep and superficial tendons in her hind leg. After surgery, kept her on this and splint for 8 months and she's sound to be a momma! Would never know! Still on it daily. Recently she had a bout of laminitis due to lute. Doubled the dose for 3 weeks and sound as can be. Would never know it even happened. Will not be without! Thank you!
My 17 year old Barrel horse was slowing down a bit, sore, and we have taken him to the vet and have him on everything he needs to be on as far as maintenance, but this stuff!! It’s a miracle supplement! It has made our boy feel 100%! He runs low 18’s and is running amazing has his spunk back! He’s always had a love for rodeo, and he is a different horse with this stuff. My kids also take the human supplement, my son is a JC wrestler in college, and my daughter is a HS wrestler and runs rodeo. Amazing!
Best product I have used for my end stage navicular horse
