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!
Shes 31. After starting OpiWize, her stiffness is subsiding and shes feeling better everyday.
My gelding is a few months away from turning 34 yrs old. I have seen significant improvement since starting optiwize the past year. His movement looks way less arthritic to the point no one would ever guess his age!
This really helps our 16 year old gelding running the barrel pattern with less pain
I have both of my boys on this now! My 12 year old and my 20 year old. Neither have been lame in months!
21 year old 1/4 pony has been on optiwize a couple of months. The last month I have been maintaining him on it with one scoop daily. He is doing awesome. He no longer stumbles at a walk, trot or lope and the head-bob is GONE! This stuff is amazing!!! He feels years younger.
He had a tendon sheath injury. Has bounced back, and much sooner than the first time.
My 10 year old Cowhorse tore his meniscus one year ago. Following surgery, PRP treatment, Noltrex and 4 months of stall rest with hand walking he was still at level 3 lameness. I turned him out in pasture with a 30 year old mule and started feeding him Optiwize. In the past 5 months he has improved enough that I am trail riding and long trotting with no signs of lameness. I may never show him again but am grateful to be able to enjoy riding him . I plan to keep him on Optiwize for the rest of his life.
I use Optiwize for my older semi-retired show horse with great results. I started to use it on the young mare I am leasing and I saw a huge improvement in her movement, coat and well being. The results are amazing!
I’m going on my 3rd bag of Optiwize and honestly feel like it has helped my mare who has had several injuries throughout the years, to feel better. She is going out on the trail and acts so much happier.
Great Product! I would highly recommend it. This is one of the best joint supplements on the market. Lori Lester
Batman hasn’t been roped on since Sept/ first of Oct 2024. So excited to bring him back to the roping pen. Thanks to Optiwize.
Works really well!
I have had my granddaughter's POA on Optiwize for the last 3 years (I think it has been that long) and he is doing wonderfully! I will always keep this pony on Optiwize!
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
