TESTIMONIALS & CASE STUDIES( Calming) |
|
Maneline has been a lifeline !!! After trying many Calming products on the market for my Welsh Section D, I thought I was never going to capture his spirit combined with his extravagant action needed for the show ring. After a phenomenal first year after being broken we had great hopes for our Horse. He won many Novice Affiliated shows and Championships and at the end of the season was at the top in the Open classes. Through the winter he became more mature, stronger and a lot more spirited. This year as a 5 yr old he came out like a loaded gun (exploding more than once !) and we had to retire him from the show ring on more than one occasion due to his behaviour. I telephoned Venetia at Maneline to ask if she would judge a show for me and after chatting about the horses and my Welsh Cob she suggested that I tried the Mag-Restor. True to her word it arrived the next day and we haven't looked back since. The first time in the ring after using Mag-Restor the horse became more manageable and a pleasure to ride and we are now pushing onwards and upwards Thank you so much Maneline for creating a palatable powder which really works and has certainly restored normality back into my horse.

My horse is a 17.2 thoroughbred mare that is genrally a calm horse but she can become over sensitive in certain situations and become really tense and very sharp. In fact she lives on a very short fuse in certain situations. I know thooughbreds are often more sharper than most but I am also familair with them and consider this mare to be maybe a little over the edge. Along with this she used to suffer from frequent bouts of colic. After veterinary tests and various different feeds and routine we have eventually found a routine and feeding regime which suits her and she does not suffer anymore. However the cause to her colic was found to be mild sugar intolerence so she is also basically treated as if she were a laminitic pony. (I would also like to add that any kind of feed balancer containing either pro or pre biotics or yeast coultures are not suitable for her and increase the activity of her gut too much.) i.e very limited turnout in the spring and summer plus restricted turnout all year round due to very good grazing at the livery yard where she is kept. She is also given antacids to keep her gut stable. I did some research regarding magnesium and found that given her siutation and symptoms I thought it would be very beneficial for her. Also she does sweat quite a lot even at this time of year and she is clipped too. Many thanks, Jeanette
Thought I would give you some feedback from using the Mag Restor. It has made an amazing difference to my horse, she is completely chilled out and like a different horse. This morning for example people were in the stable next door but one to her drilling holes in the wall putting up a hay rack and she couldn't care less. One other thing I noticed as well is that she seems more supple and loose and relaxed in her work. She performed the best I have ever seen her move today and with a relaxed attitude too (possibly due to relaxed tense free muscles). I played about with the amounts a little to see what suited her and I am giving her 1 and 1/2 level scoops twice per day as a maintenance measure. This seems to suit her best. If I were contemplating taking her to her first competition I would increase it a little to be on the safe side though. I have tried a few other calmers with very little or no effect. I have tried other magnesium calmers too as I was convinced that this is what she needed however maybe the actual magnesium content in other products is not as high as your own. Many many thanks, Jeanette
We have introduced mag-restor as part of our weaning programme and found it to be highly beneficial. We have also used it when breaking and training young thoroughbred colts, we find them calmer, more settled and more supple. Trudy Goulding. End House Stud.
Case Studies. Welsh Cob, 5 years, 14.2hh Weight approximately 500 Kg (NERVOUS) Became nervous to shoe. Given 72 grams 1 ½ hours prior to shoeing, no hay after being given the Mag-Restor. Result: Horse stayed settled, calm and easy to shoe.
Thoroughbred, 5 years, 16.1 hh Weight approximately 450 Kg (TENSE AND EXCITABLE) General fitness work and galloping tense and gets worked up, to a point of knocking itself and generally causing itself minor injuries. Started Mag-Restor 4 weeks ago, fed 36 grams daily for 7 days and now maintained on 18 grams daily. Result: Has become quieter in itself and now much easier to work on the gallops. Also has stopped causing itself minor injuries.
Pony, 4 years 13.3hh Weight approximately 400 Kg (NAPPING) Recently broken, riding on well. 4 weeks after returning to inexperienced owner, started to resist leaving the field and spinning around. Then ridden by the person who broke the pony, who sorted the problem, taking only one occasion to do so. The pony then behaved perfectly for 3 days with the owner, and then reverted back to his napping . Given 54 grams of Mag-Restor 1 ½ hours prior to being ridden. Result: Made no difference to the pony’s behaviour.
15.2hh ¾ bred coloured mare 7 years. Weight approximately 550kg (GREEN & ATTACHED TO OTHER HORSES) Broken at 4, never properly weaned from mother, mostly worked in company or in an outside arena. Lacked confidence when ridden on its own, especially when hacking alone, apt to stop & spin around very quickly. Also did not travel well alone. Given 90 grams and hay removed 1 ½ hours prior to loading in a trailer. Result: Arrived at destination perfectly calm & settled and was then hacked out alone 2 hours later without any problems.

TESTIMONIALS ( Laminitis & Feet) |

Well this was how I first came to hear about the stuff. My name is Mark Johnson. I am a UK registered farrier whose business is steadily turning towards de shoeing horses. Whether shod or not diet plays a fundamental role in the health of the horses hoof. Without correct dietary help all shoeing & trimming in my view will have limited use It appears that magnesium is (or more to the point should be) an essential mineral available to all, but our land steadily becomes more and more deficient. The ramifications of this to our horses feet is that the enzyme activity controlling the basal membrane in the hoof, break down showing us signs of flare and epidermal lamina protruding through the white zone. Through the feeding of maneline's Mag-restore, it has been possible to return much higher levels of soundness and integral structure than I was able to do without the additive. My advice would be to do your own research on magnesium and don't forget the human benefits as well Happy hoof care! Mark
"My child's 10 yr old welsh pony was suffering from acute laminitis despite a strict management regime, frequent stable confinement and ongoing veterinary treatment. It reached the point of making a heartbreaking decision, and in a final last attempt to give this pony quality of life started to add Mag-Restor as a daily feed supplement. This pony has been on 20g of Mag-Restor per day for three months, and now leads a normal life on grass. He no longer runs to fat, and is sound 90% of the time. When not fully sound, he no longer ties up or exhibits the usual signs of stress associated with laminitis. Neither has it been necessary to administer the usual pain relief and anti-inflammatories during the peak summer months. I have been so impressed by this supplement and its cost effectiveness, that I have placed my 14 year old mare on the same. She is also prone to laminitis and has been on a well known imported product to guard against reoccurrence, at an approximate cost of £1 per day. She has been on 40g per day of Mag-Restor for one month now, and it has been reported that she has never looked so well." Tracy Stote, Somerset.
Footnote: This pony is still alive and well 3 years on from this testimonial.
