Anti-inflammatory & Musculoskeletal Success Stories
Dear Springtime,
I just want to tell you that I cannot believe how powerful this Bee Pollen is! I put my horse, Violet, on it less than a week ago, and she has improved her stamina by leaps and bounds in just a short time. I would describe her as "delicate" — you had to ride carefully and lightly. She would not engage her hind end at the lope, and she would tucker out very quickly. I rode her yesterday and pushed her just a bit to see how she was. It was like riding a different horse. I can't wait to see how she is after a month of the stuff! I purchased the Bee Pollen on your recommendation after telling you that last year she lost all muscle in one side of her face. The previous owners did lots of vet work, but no one could figure out what happened. She had been lame since then. She's on a combo of J-Flex and Bee Pollen and she is blossoming. Thank you so very much!! Jenny Zogg, Wisconsin

Dear Springtime,
Three years ago I purchased a horse, Yoda, who was navicular, laminitic and had been treated for EPM. He had many issues, which I addressed with barefoot trim, diet, movement and herbs. He had an odd way of moving which I initially thought was due to his hoof issues. But when they recurred almost three years later they were diagnosed by my vet as a recurrence of EPM. I tried her recommendations which were acupuncture, etc. He still had the collapsing hind. I also tried a course of homeopathic prescriptions…no change. I remembered that I had seen the hind end malfunction when I first got him, and that it had gone away. I was doing a lot of herbs and the like at the time. I thought it might be Bee Pollen, and when I put him on it (double dose), he immediately started to improve. He went from barely being able to walk, to floating.

Dear Springtime,
My Kiger mare was very badly damaged at a breeder's. I spoke to a friend who uses your products. I called your office and was recommended to use C-Complex. Two years later, my mare is doing wonderful! All our horses are on C-Complex! If I ever have a problem, I'll call my vet then I'll call you.
Sincerely,

Dear Springtime,
First of all let me make it clear that my horse, Trouper, does not, nor did he, have any problems when I selected the Springtime Gamma as my free item the last time I ordered your products for my dogs. I ordered the Gamma because of the information I read about it and felt this was one way of offering additional calories in the cold months without upping concentrated feeds… I had wanted to see if the Gamma might keep Trouper from losing any weight during the numerous frigid snaps here in Tennessee.
Now that we are on the backside of winter I can say for sure that the alterations in Trouper's body are not only noticeable but also seem permanent… Not only did Trouper not lose any weight, but Trouper put on muscle-weight, high on the croup where his pelvis attaches to his backbone, across the top of his scapula and the large muscle on the inside of the rear legs at the back.
I cannot tell you what a joy it is to purchase a product that not only does what it claims it will, but goes even a little further, thank you.

Dear Springtime,
I've enclosed photos of SC Splash's Valley Girl, alias Magic, taken when I bought her in January of 2009, and today, June 30, 2009. She has been on Springtime Gamma. The difference in her haircoat and muscling is amazing. I've used Gamma before on a mare I showed in halter, with the same great results. Thanks for a great product!

Dear Springtime,
Last year, my 24 year old Pinto/Arabian, Cloud Dancer, was in very poor health due to the poor quality of hay we had to use and the simple fact that he was 'getting old'. My daughter had a copy of your catalog and while looking through it I came across your pages on Springtime Gamma and Breather Powder. I decided to give them a try. Last summer, I had him on both of these products and I was amazed at the difference. He maintained a healthy weight and was able to maintain normal respiratory function. I was amazed because our veterinarian had been unable to help us. I can't thank you enough for your wonderful products. They have saved my favorite old gelding and given him a new lease on life.

Dear Springtime,
My name is Kate Bacon. I'm 16 years old and ride an 18 year old Thoroughbred/Appy gelding named Jack. When I was 12, I decided that I wanted to begin a career in rodeo. After just one fall of rodeos nearly every weekend, Jack was stiff and sore after each long ride to and from the rodeo. My mom and I thought that this was natural because of his hard life as a ranch horse and his old age (16-17 years old at the time). Then a friend told my mom about J-Flex Concentrate . We thought it was worth a try. WOW! We started Jack on J-Flex Concentrate late in winter. I was amazed at the difference in him. He ran better and was maintaining healthy mobility.
Jack is 18 years going on 19 now and we are still running competitive barrels and poles. He looks great and is healthy and happy. He will be my official mount this summer as I am the queen of the local rodeo court. Thank you so much for developing a product that is so wonderful.

Dear Springtime,
I wasn't kidding – your products are great and all our creatures benefit from them: human (Tonic Blend), canine (Fresh Factors), equine (DMG 5,600), J-Flex Concentrate, Breather Powder and Gamma). I have given Fresh Factors and information on it to so many people and they have been so pleased with it. Don't ever change. The enclosed photo is of my daughter, Mary, and The Griffin who is on Gamma, J-Flex Concentrate and DMG 5,600. He is now sound of wind and limb – he was seldom sound for more than a few days at a time and he had trouble with allergies. He was unrideable – head tossing, nose blowing, just miserable. He is now a happy, reasonable horse. So from the three humans, 14 dogs and five horses, a great big THANK YOU, Springtime!
Sincerely,
Susan Barrett, Pennsylvania

Dear Springtime,
Love your products. My 34 year old Thoroughbred gelding, Beau, and I have been using your wonderful products for almost 20 years now. I have two herniated disks in my back that have bothered me since 1973. I had taken Cartilage Concentrate* for a week when it dawned on me that it may have helped reduce the inflammation associated with training and competition. I was amazed!
During Beau's racing day, he injured his back when he flipped over in the starting gate. There were many days when he couldn't be ridden because of his sore back. After starting him on J-Flex Concentrate we never missed a day. He still had a "cold back" but within a 15 minute walk warm-up he was ready to do our dressage work. Beau was diagnosed with Cushing's disease 16 years ago. With his daily dose of medications and J-Flex Concentrate it has been able to maintain his occasional joint stiffness. At 34, he still enjoys galloping around the arena. He's amazing to watch as he does his laps. He still loves to run.
Thank you for supporting Beau's ability to naturally heal during his senior years.
God bless you,

Dear Springtime,
J-Flex Concentrate is a wonderful product! It gave life to my 16 year old Appendix horse named Murphy, who is now 25 and still going strong (a bit too strong, in my opinion :o). So now I'm using Joint Health Chewables to help my five year old English Mastiff support healthy joints after elbow surgery when he was a puppy. I've tried other vet recommended products that worked, BUT yours is night and day! Thank you again for helping the heartbeats in my life.
God bless,

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to thank you for giving my wonderful 16 year old Tennessee walking horse gelding his life back. A year ago he had the most wonderful show season. The Fashion Feature (AKA Big Boy) used to be a padded show horse. When my husband and I bought him four years ago we said good-bye to the pads and he really came into his own last year, winning 36 out of 50 blue ribbons in our open breed show association in the Piedmont of North Carolina.
Just as show season was about to get under way this year, he was spooked in his paddock in the middle of the night and re-injured what the vet determined to be an old injury to his right front pastern. The original injury probably occurred while he was on pads but nevertheless, he was somewhat lame. After x-rays and being on another supplement that the vet had recommended and no riding for about six weeks, I couldn't see much improvement.
Out of desperation, I called a friend of mine who has a 17 year old Arab that she shows on a regular basis. I thought if anyone could help me, she could (not knowing at the time that her horse was on any type of joint supplement at all). She told me about J-Flex Concentrate and gave me an old catalog. I figured what the heck. Nothing else had worked so I might as well give it a try. Am I glad I did! After just a week of being on J-Flex Concentrate, Big Boy is like a new horse. He moves like a horse half his age. I now look forward to many more years of showing this wonderful and incredibly beautiful animal…and it's all thanks to J-Flex Concentrate. I've told everybody I know about it and they are using it as well. Again, thank you for giving my horse (and me) our lives back.

Pat Ireland, North Carolina

Dear Springtime,
I am writing to thank you for your great product, J-Flex Concentrate. We are a wild burro and pony rescue with a program for disabled youth…we deal with a lot of older horses. Gayette, a 30 year old Mustang, had been a favorite of the kids over the last few years due to her gentle disposition. But this spring, Gayette started becoming very stiff and unrideable and we knew she was in a lot of pain. She did not want any of the kids to even brush her. This was a great disappointment to the kids. Everyone was very sad and the vet suggested that her time had come. Not willing to give up on her, we started using J-Flex Concentrate. Within a few weeks, she started to move around better and was excited to see the kids again. Now she is rideable and is back to being the wonderful therapeutic tool for the disabled children we deal with.
Once again, thank you for producing such a wonderful product. It has brought back the smiles to many a little face here on the ranch. And with your help and God's will, she will continue to touch the hearts of many children.
Sincerely and with great thanks,
Mark R. Jespersen, President/Owner of Dreamcatcher Ranch and Director of the Oscar Javier Ramirez Youth Program, California

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to send you a quick email to update you on my horse, Norman, who you featured in your sales catalog a few years ago (Spring 2001). So, here he is today. February 14, 2007 will be seven years since his injury (used J-Flex Concentrate to help recovery). I don't ride Norman anymore; he just enjoys doing tricks. I am teaching him to pick up a phone and hand it to me. He is 21 this year…Norman is a miracle! I also have my Hunter on a combination of J-Flex Concentrate and Springtime GL. This maintains his soundness and happiness. We are still jumping around courses and winning…
Thanks for making such great products!

Dear Springtime,
I am very happy I found your supplements. My eleven year old gelding, Treasured, and I have a very special bond as most horses and owners have… I have been using the Joint Health Formula on him for a year, as he has joint pain in his right front knee. I have tried many supplements over the years (he has had this since he was two and a half years old due to an injury prior to me buying him) and many worked for a short time. The injury caused a lot of pain. I even had to stop riding him. In the winter time the pain would get worse and nothing would work. My friend, Audrey, told me about the Joint Health Formula and within no time he was running around with no lameness. I also noticed the swelling went away. Even the vet was impressed and asked what I gave Treasured. He is so different now. I love to watch him run around again like he is two. It is also a joy to be able to ride him again, as I thought I would never be able to again.
Having a natural way to help my horse has been a blessing - thank you!
Yours Truly,
Dawn Brent, North Carolina

Dear Springtime,
I have a well-loved little black mare named Baylee of no known breeding and uncertain age. She was purchased from a difficult situation approximately three years ago. Since buying her, I had been able to, until this last fall, ride her anywhere without problems. However, in the fall she began to show generalized joint soreness. It began with a front pastern, then it shifted to her hock, and then I began to be able to hear her joints creak when she walked. She no longer ran around in the pasture and she got very, very grumpy. It was obvious that she was hurting and riding was out of the question. We did liniments, massages, wraps, and just about everything one can do for joint issues short of putting her on permanent pain medication. It all helped somewhat, however, nothing really fixed it.
Then I remembered your Joint Health Formula from your catalog. In hopes of helping her, I sent for your Joint Health Formula and proceeded to load her up…. It took about two weeks of a moderately large dose to stop hearing her walk. Then the joint swelling stopped. Then I noticed she was walking much more freely. She has been on the standard dose now for about three and a half months and is now running in the pasture. She steps out beautifully and I am again riding her. Yesterday, when I went out to the pasture to visit the horses, she came running up to me at full speed. I cannot tell you how relieved I am to have her going sound again. She is beautiful little mare with a great deal of personality, and she is a great ride to boot. Baylee is the little black horse I always wanted when I was a child. And now that she no longer has any joint pain, she is back to being the empress of the pasture and she is no longer grumpy. This is great stuff! Thank you very much! You have a permanent customer.
Sincerely,
Laura Brooks, Ohio

Dear Springtime,
I have a 30 year old Quarter Horse gelding who is the love of my life. "King's Jet Bailey," otherwise known as Dudley, has been my equine friend for many years. In his mid-20s, he was diagnosed with ringbone above the front right hoof, had severe skin allergies from insect bites, and two years ago, had developed poor circulation resulting in edema in the sheath and belly area. My veterinarian attributed all this to "aging". To complicate these conditions even further, Dudley also contracted, and was treated for, Lyme's disease.
Over the years I have tried many different products to help alleviate these problems. The different supplements I tried helped to some degree, but not like Joint Health Formula! This summer I started using your Bug Off Garlic product along with Joint Health Formula. I figured that I have "experimented" with everything else, why not try Springtime. After three months of usage, I see a definite improvement in Dudley, both physically and mentally. My veterinarian indicated that Dudley does not look his age and she is very impressed with the quality of his coat. She says that Dudley's coat is better than some of the performance horses she works with! Dudley's ringbone has improved as well, gaining more range of motion in his front feet than he has had in years. As an added benefit, the edema in his sheath area is significantly less severe.
Over the years I have tried many supplements/natural remedies and consequently I have a collection of half-used containers of supplements that do not seem to work very well. I expect that the recently reordered containers of Joint Health Formula and Bug Off Garlic will not be in that category. Thank you, Springtime. Dudley's got the "spring" back in his step!

Dear Springtime,
This year, my 31 year old Palomino/Quarter Horse, Gold Cedar, became very stiff. He would lay down at night to rest his weary body and stay down until I went up to the barn in the morning. Because he was laying down for so long and he was so stiff and sore, I had to put a halter on him and encourage him to get up. I felt so bad that I started to get up between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. every morning and went up to the barn to get Cedar up on his feet. Sometimes, I could encourage him to get up with a carrot, and other times I had to put his halter on and pull him up.
Thank goodness I received your flyer about a new supplement called Joint Health Formula. After having Cedar on this supplement for three weeks, I had a much different horse. Ninety percent of the time, he is up before I go to the barn and the other ten percent of the time, he gets up as soon as he sees me at the door. He stands for a few minutes and walks in for breakfast. I no longer have to make my nightly visit to the barn. Cedar and I are so pleased with this product.
Cedar taught me how to be a good rider. He has won several year-end awards in the western division, he has participated in parades, in trail riding for the handicapped, and most of all, he is my buddy. He has always given unconditional love. So now that he is a senior citizen, I want his senior years to be all they can be and Joint Health is helping to make this happen.
Sincerely,
Beverly Hockenbury, New Jersey

Dear Springtime,
I have a 14 year old Paso Fino mare, El Dorado Echo, which had foundered for the second time in December before I purchased her. She did really well until this summer, and then Echo was lame for more than a month and even bute didn't help relieve her pain. She could hardly walk at all, but after a week and a half on your Joint Health Formula …we started seeing dramatic improvements – no more stiffness and she was a lot less creaky and cranky. She hasn't had a lame step since. My daughter, Emilee, has barrel raced with her and shown her in pleasure. Emilee and Echo did go on to win 2nd place in showmanship at the county fair which is an accomplishment when we couldn't get her to walk hardly at all a month before. It is so wonderful to see my Echo back. Thank you so much for a great product.

Dear Springtime,
Brown, my big brown quarter horse, was overly used and abused for over twenty years until he came to his retirement home last year. Having more than his share of aches, pains, and stiffness, I put him on your Joint Health Formula this year. At age 21, with a year's rest and your supplements, he is once again enjoying racing the other horses in the pasture, and going for trail rides. Two of the horses in the barn were so upset that Brown was now beating them, they told their owners they wanted Joint Health Formula, which they now are on!
Thanks for my old Brown back, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
Thank you for making Longevity for dogs. We adopt retired greyhounds and one of ours developed joint problems late last year at about age nine and a half. She started limping every time she got up from a nap. In our opinion, she was too young to take the usual vet drugs that can end up destroying their liver and other organs. We had used Springtime products that helped our Cairns' coat health years ago and were looking in the catalog for something that might help us with this other problem. We decided to try Longevity. Within a few weeks, the limp was gone. It has been half a year now and there is no sign of any problem. All the dogs are getting it and they just passed their senior dog blood work and annual vet checks with flying colors.
Since then, we have ordered Joint Health Formula to give to our horses. We have seen a noticeable improvement in the 11 year old Quarter Horse, Charley. He used to slouch and now stands tall and straight. He appears to have grown half a hand and we don't think that is possible at his age. We acquired his last filly before he was gelded and started her on Joint Health Formula even though she just turned two. We just purchased a 10 year old Belgian and when he arrives at our stable you can bet we will start him on Joint Health Formula. I have highly recommended your products to anyone who is experiencing similar problems with their animals.
Thanks for your help!

Dear Springtime,
This spring, my getting close to 40 years old horse, John Boy, started limping really bad and his front legs were breaking down. I bought him when he was 16 and he has been solid all these years.
I have never used any joint supplements, but received your catalog and decided to try your Joint Health Formula on Johnny. I thought maybe I shouldn't expect too much because he was getting bad and because of his age. Within three weeks I started to see he wasn't creeping out of his stall in the morning, he was walking out. Then, at about five weeks he trotted out a few times. Then, one day he must've remembered he could lope and off he went outside. He's sooo much better now, not perfect, but he trots when he wants to, and if he feels like a little buck or lope, he doesn't hesitate.
Johnny says, "Thanks, Springtime!"
Me, too!

Dear Springtime,
I just had to give you an update… In May, I increased Roswell's Joint Health Formula to prepare him for our first show back after being off a year and a half because I gave birth to my daughter. On the day of the event, I also gave him Performance Paste. I was blown away by Roswell's gaits. They were better than they had ever been in the five and a half years I have owned him. He came right out of the stall with no lunging, and showing normal Inflammatory responses. His gait had such freedom and regularity while being light, supple, and very engaged from behind. We put down the dressage test of a lifetime. If it hadn't been pouring down rain and I hadn't made a bad call while riding, we would have won that event instead of placing fourth. However, since the rain seemed to turn every jump into a water jump and the stadium into a huge pond, I was still more than thrilled with the results…
Thank you,
Sarah VandenBerghe, Michigan

Dear Springtime,
I would like to tell you about the horse [on whom] I'm using Springtime GL. He just turned nine years old. Cash is a very large Quarter Horse with small feet. My 13 year old daughter, Sarah, bought him to run speed events with. We knew right off that he was a little front-ended, just how bad was found out when she started his training. I ordered your product after reading your testimonials about much older horses. I figured that if it was natural, it couldn't hurt! Well, it helped! His flexibility and mobility is maintained and he has learned that he can stop on his big rear end. He has much more flexibility and has taken two whole seconds off of his speed event times! My daughter runs against about 20-25 kids, 13-17 years old, and places first and second. In open age barrels, running against 30-40 year old adults and teenagers with as many as 60 in the class, she places in the top six! We knew by looking at his papers he would be a great horse. We just needed to take the time to find out and support his problems.
I know that people have used your Springtime GL on older horses. But, if you have a younger horse that is worked hard on its feet and legs, such as barrel racers, ropers, cow horses or racers, this would be a great product to get started on.
I would also like to say thank you for the very nice people on the other end of the phone when I have called to place my order.
Sincerely,
Georgia Fleming, Mississippi

Dear Springtime,
I am writing to let you know how truly effective and wonderful your product is! My 12 year old Appaloosa mare, Midnight's Magic, has been on/off with joint stiffness for over a year despite numerous vet consults and alternative approaches. It has been so disheartening to me. Finally, I decided to start Mattie on Springtime GL with the blessing of a new vet. INCREDIBLE – within a few short weeks, Mattie began to noticeably show normal flexibility and was much more "relaxed".
My 22 year old gelding, Juniper, had been injected by a vet for a degenerative joints in his hind right. After seeing the success of Mattie, I decided to add J-Flex Concentrate and Springtime GL to his treatment. I can't believe it. For the first time he freely and "actively" took the right lead in a canter with maintained normal mobility! I really believe these supplements work and quickly!
Thanks again,
Candace J. Schoch, Pennsylvania

Dear Springtime,
I just want to take the time to thank you for your amazing products. I have attached a photo of Quacker, my 14 year old half Tennessee walking horse. Quacker foundered five years ago. Several options did not help much and all the vet offered was to put him down because at one point he was experiencing discomfort to the point he could not get up. I was ready to make that painful decision, but then I read some of the good success stories in your catalog about J-Flex Concentrate. So I decided it couldn't hurt to at least give it a try. He made an amazing recovery on J-Flex Concentrate! Now he is back to being the good, sound riding horse he used to be. He's full of life and spirit, and loves to run. Thank you so much Springtime for giving me my horse back!!
Sincerely,
Emilie Schmudlach, Wisconsin

Dear Springtime,
I got a new barrel horse that was well known to have an alley problem. I took him away from the barrel for six weeks, put him on J-Flex Concentrate Concentrate and had him worked on by my chiropractor. I brought him back to barrel racing; he went back to winning and never had a problem again. I believe in J-Flex Concentrate 100%. I did double his J-Flex Concentrate for about a month, but now I give it to him once a day. One thing I can say for Springtime products is that it is unbelievable in the results I get. This is the only additional vitamin I give my horse.

"With the help of J-Flex before patrol I do not have a sore horse the next day."
Dear Springtime,
I have a 24 year old Peruvian Paso, Chanchi, which in 2000 was diagnosed with severe joint problems and needed to be put down. I, however, couldn't do it and I searched until I found Springtime. Chanchi has now been on J-Flex Concentrate and Bug Off Garlic for four years. The x-rays show no joint problems and he is back on active duty – that's up to ten hours in the saddle a day on all terrains. With the help of J-Flex Concentrate before patrol I do not have a sore horse the next day. No leaning or walking on eggshells. This is truly a wonder of a product, and boy, did I try the gamut of stuff out there. Yours worked wonders for Chanchi.
Thanks and good health,
Jamie Trujillo, California

Dear Springtime,
I wrote a couple years back to tell you how great your J-Flex Concentrate was working for my Thoroughbred mare, Mirage. Mirage is now 26 and still going strong thanks to her daily dose of J-Flex Concentrate. She loves to be ridden and everybody thinks she is much younger than her age. I can't thank you enough for making such a wonderful product. She is still one of the most comfortable horses to ride and will always be on J-Flex Concentrate.
I have also gotten my boyfriend hooked on your products for his dog, Kobe. Kobe is seven years old and gets Fresh Factors every day. Kobe thinks that Fresh Factors are a "treat" and will not eat his food until we put them in his dish. Kobe still acts like a puppy thanks to Fresh Factors.
Thanks so much for making the high quality products you do.

"His gait is now free, no more pulling, grinding his teeth,or throwing his head."
Dear Springtime,
In December of 2002, I traveled to Canada and bought a 17.1 hand, 11 year old Thoroughbred, Roswell. He had some issues with pulling on the bit and shaking his head but I thought this was nothing compared to my last horse. Months went by with no improvement, so I put him up for sale. I told my trainer I could not ride this animal. Roswell's gaits were too rough; I felt I had to be adjusted after every ride. I put him in 90 days of training to help sell him, but buyers were still having the same issues that I had. …I was very frustrated… One day, I noticed a catalog I had never received before…I started reading the testimonials and thought, yeah, sure, whatever, but for some reason…I decided to order the Joint Health Formula. Your customer service was wonderful. I placed my order and it was on my door three days later… A few weeks later I decided to take Roswell for a lesson. As I was working him, my trainer approached us and said, "What do you have that horse on now?" Now that was gratifying. Roswell and I started our eventing career last year and have been getting a ribbon every time. His gait is now free, no more pulling, grinding his teeth, or throwing his head. He is getting in stride without a problem. Thank you, Springtime, you saved Roswell, surely.

Dear Springtime,
As always thanks for your great service! Recently, I've ordered from another mail order company and their shipping was expensive. Thanks for keeping your rates so low.
Thought you'd also like to see how great my colt is doing on Springtime's Bug Off Garlic and Gamma. As soon as Lark, my Percheron colt, would eat, I gave Gamma. This is a picture of him at four months old (yes, only four months!) He is 13.1 HH and getting more of a beautiful build every day besides his healthy shine.
Thanks!

Dear Springtime,
In March, I lost my Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred mare, Scarlett, to colic. She was almost 24 years old and had also suffered from joint issues for many years. We decided she needed help and had tried other products without success before we discovered J-Flex Concentrate. The J-Flex Concentrate results were amazing! Within about a week after starting the J-Flex Concentrate, she was moving more easily and was kicking up her heels like a youngster again! We kept her on it for about a year and then decided to try to stop it and see if she would be ok without it… big mistake! She was so stiff and slow moving and obviously needed her J-Flex Concentrate restarted. I'm not sure how long she stayed on it, probably at least six or seven years, but I have no doubt that it greatly increased her quality of life. She shared her pasture with my husband's 15 year old gelding, Doc, and had no problems keeping up with him.
We also use the Fresh Factors and the Joint Health Chewables for all five of our dogs, ranging in age from seven months to nine years. They all love the tablets and get excited when it's time for their "vitamins." They are all happy and healthy, running, playing, and enjoying their lives!
Please feel free to use any of this unsolicited letters in your catalog. I am enclosing pictures of Scarlett and Doc, as well as our five dogs, Yogi, Jojo, Dixie, Dolly and Jake. (As you can see, none of them appear undernourished or neglected!)
Thanks again for such great products! We are definitely big fans of Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
As per our phone conversation today, enclosed is a check for Joint Health Formula supplement for horses.
Also enclosed is a photo of my horse Bella, a 13 year old Hanoverian mare who is training in dressage. She has been helped with this supplement by supporting a normal inflammatory response from her left hock problems.
Thank you so much,

Dear Springtime,
Wow, what super service! I just got an email confirming shipping and my shipping number, and I only put the order in a couple of hours ago. My horse thrives on your products. His registered name is Snappy Count. We call him Snappy, but at times we refer to him as "Count Snappy" when his Thoroughbred blood leads him to act like royalty that I am to wait on hand and foot! Actually he's a very fine old gentleman. He would not be sound at 27 and still enjoying trail rides if it were not for Joint Health Formula. He's a retired show jumper that has severe joint issues, but you would never know it. We have had a very tough summer with poor hooves so I am hoping your Hoof & Coat Formula will give him stronger hooves. Deciding whose product to try first was a 'no brainer.'

Dear Springtime,
Your products are fabulous. I have written before about my little dog, Albert. Albert passed away last April at 15 and a half years old. He is still on your website and I truly believe he lived his last years in complete comfort and happiness because of your products.
When Albert passed I got a new Boston Terrier/French Bulldog mix puppy named Samson. We knew he was "different" right off the bat but got him anyway. His mother had tried to eat him as a couple days old puppy, so he has a massive, deep scar on the left side of his head and some scar tissue on the right. He had bad balance, always stumbling, leaning, bumping into things, and even falling over. We figured that he had suffered head trauma in the accident with his Mom. The veterinarians we go to give us advice on the things we could look into to help him… surgery and medication. I am very much against medicating my animals unless it is a last ditch effort. He was a ten week old puppy and just as happy as could be, and he didn't know he was different.
After a couple of months, Samson started rolling. He would shake his head, fall over, and roll several times. Then he would jump up and run around. Talk about shocking the first time that happened. Well, three veterinarians and a lot of emotional turmoil later, I signed over the puppy. We just could not find out what was wrong with him. A week went by and they did not put him down but rather found a foster home for him. I called and wanted my baby back, and got him back! I figured that I adopted him knowing he had some issues and needed to help this little guy the most I could.
Then, while getting his shots, the vet tech cleaned his ears and found Samson was lacking something that pretty much explained all his actions. He has no opening to his ear canal on the right side! This throws his equilibrium and his balance off. WOW, what a discovery! Upon finding this out, I immediately put him on Fresh Factors and Longevity because they both are great all around products that can help with inflammation. Since we could not see in his ear canal, we did not know if there was inflammation or even normal ear anatomy in there. Fast forward nine months, Samson is still running, playing, destroying toys, and being as obnoxious as a puppy can be. We have not done surgery on his ear because he is very happy, not in pain, and knows no different. He has adjusted himself to live with his "uniqueness," no longer rolls and his balance is getting better and better. I truly believe that Springtime products have helped him along this crazy journey we are on. We will continue to use these products as I feel they have been a huge benefit for him. We also use both products mentioned above for our long haired dog that has terrible skin allergies. He no longer itches after taking these products. Thank You!
I also have my horses, 20 year old Leo, and 22 year old Nandy, on J-Flex Concentrate. It is unbelievable how they are able to get around. I am still competing on both of them in barrel racing and Nandy will be helping two young girls in 4H this year.

Your products are fabulous. I have written before about my little dog, Albert. Albert passed away last April at 15 and a half years old. He is still on your website and I truly believe he lived his last years in complete comfort and happiness because of your products.
When Albert passed I got a new Boston Terrier/French Bulldog mix puppy named Samson. We knew he was "different" right off the bat but got him anyway. His mother had tried to eat him as a couple days old puppy, so he has a massive, deep scar on the left side of his head and some scar tissue on the right. He had bad balance, always stumbling, leaning, bumping into things, and even falling over. We figured that he had suffered head trauma in the accident with his Mom. The veterinarians we go to give us advice on the things we could look into to help him… surgery and medication. I am very much against medicating my animals unless it is a last ditch effort.

Dear Springtime,
I'd like to comment on how good the Joint Health Formula is. My 16 year old, 16.3 hand endurance Quarter Horse fell last year and fractured his pelvis. It was a bad fall. A friend recommended the Joint Health Formula. Immediately, I started him on it. At his two month check-up after his accident, my vet said that in almost all the cases he had ever seen he would have had to put the horse down at the two month mark. However, he was amazed at how well my "Cowboy" was doing. It has now been nine months later and he is doing great – even get a little buck out of him every once in a while. We still aren't riding him, but if anything, he is a retired, happy, comfortable horse. Thank you, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
I have enjoyed your products for years. You had my testimonial under Real Letters talking about my 34 year old Thoroughbred, Beau. Beau passed away two years ago at age 36. He ran his laps around the arena that afternoon and played in a puddle of water, but two hours later, he had a stroke and had to be put down. We always said it would be a sad day if Beau couldn't run anymore. Thanks to J-Flex Concentrate, he never saw that day. I know he's running laps in heaven.
Thanks again,
Kristen Bushnell, California

Dear Springtime,
I have a 19 year old BLM Mustang, Yomba, with severe allergies, heaves and aging joints. I had already been giving Yomba the DMG 5600 DMG 5,600, and now he gets a half scoop of Joint Health Formula morning and night. I am happy to say that he hasn't had a steroid tablet since the Saturday after I started the Joint Health Formula. His breathing has remained normal and his neck doesn't have the "creaks" it used to have. Even with the sudden, cold weather changes we have had in Wisconsin, he is great, and that used to really cause a flare up. If I am seeing this kind of improvement in a week, I can only imagine how great it's going to be in the future.
I can't tell you how happy I am with this product. It's a lifesaver! Yomba is the best little man and taught my daughter and numerous other kids to ride. He is still full of life when he is feeling good!
Thank you again!

Dear Springtime,
I started using your products when a friend suggested it for my (at the time) 9 year old Lab mix named Joy. Joy was having a lot of trouble getting up and down and she had a limp in her front leg from a pinched nerve in her neck. Three days after putting her on your Joint Health Chewables she was running around like a spring chicken and has been ever since. She is 11 now.
After Joy's wonderful success, I put my Bullmastiff, Hanna, on C-Complex after her knee surgery and had great results. Shortly after, my other Lab mix, Otis, also tore his knee, but instead of traumatizing him with a very costly knee surgery (he's terrified of the vet) I restricted his movements and put him on C-Complex. I'm ecstatic to say he was completely healed and running around like nothing happened in a short three months. And my pocket is $3000 fuller! I have all my dogs on Spirulina Wafers and Joint Health Chewables long-term as well.
I also compete with my Sachsen Warmblood, Erwin, in combined driving around New England and Canada in hopes that we will someday be able to go to the Para-Equestrian Worlds. This August Erwin suffered a moderate 13% ligament tear. So I of course ordered a bucket of your C-Complex and increased the Spirulina Wafers he was already on in addition to Bee Pollen, Gamma, and Joint Health Formula.
After six weeks on restricted movement his tear was down to the expected 8% and he was cleared for lots of walking. However, when he had his next check-up (two weeks earlier than he should have) we had a surprise. Instead of his tear healing down to the expected 4%, it was gone. My vet was so surprised, he said if he hadn't documented it he would never have know it was there.
Now I don't know exactly what healed him, but since I have seen the same results with the C-Complex on two of my dogs with knee tears, I have my suspicions. I will say that I will continue to use your products for the duration of my animals' lives. Thank you so much, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
I am a longtime client of your horse products. There are many choices of joint products on the market, and I've tried the others, but always come back to yours. The value and quality are unsurpassed.
I'm passionate about this product because it literally saved my horse. In April of 2012 my dressage horse "Gerri," a 12 year old Warmblood, was diagnosed with three injuries in his right hind leg; bone bruise in the foot, strained suspensory and crushed cartilage in the fetlock. I was told that the crushed cartilage would never heal. The vets gave him less than a 40% chance to recover.
I had been struggling to reach Grand Prix dressage for twenty-five years. Gerri went lame two months before my first show at Grand Prix. It was absolutely devastating, almost unreal. I was so close, and now it appeared it was over. To see a dream such a long time coming become squelched in an instant was difficult to accept.
The vets said to give him six months off. He would either be sound, or lame for the rest of his life. He had to be in a stall for three months, then three months in a small paddock. Before leaving the clinic, his suspensory was injected with anti-inflammatory. About two months into his rest, I started him on Joint Health Formula. The only other treatment was special supportive shoes.
I started him back to work after six months. He was completely sound. Every day when I went out to ride, I expected him to be lame. But then the months kept going by, and he stayed sound. He hasn't been lame since.
Finally, I realized my dream of qualifying for and competing in the regional finals at Grand Prix. Gerri and I came in fourth place.
I credit Joint Health Formula for giving me back my horse. I don't think this horse would be sound without it. He will be onJoint Health Formula for the rest of his life.
Thank you, Springtime,

Dear Springtime,
We have been using your Gamma to rehabilitate one of our horses. Charlie (a mare) came to us stressed out and underweight. A low-stress lifestyle, good grazing, and Gamma has been instrumental in improving her body condition. The pictures show her progress – before and after.
Almost forgot to mention – she is between 25-30 years old. She looks great and has a great spirit!
Thank you,
Susan Watkins, Virginia

Dear Springtime,
My 28 year-old Tennessee Walking Horse mare, Dolly, gaits the trails of Palos Verdes like she is 12. Since the day Dolly came to live in our barn at age 26, she has been receiving a scoop of Joint Health Formula as part of her daily supplements. In the early spring of 2015, we had several days of rain, which meant that we could not ride for over a week. When we decided the trails were safe, we tacked up, left the barn, and Dolly took a few bad steps. So back to the barn we went, and I immediately called the vet. It turned out that because she had missed her regular three-times-per-week, two-hour trail rides, the ligaments around her stifle were stiff. The vet recommended an anti-inflammatory drug, which I used, but I also increased Dolly's dose of Joint Health Formula to one heaping scoop per day. She has not taken a bad step since. I plan to continue this dosage, because at 28 and going strong, I want to keep her sound and comfortable for as long as possible. Thank you Springtime. Marlin Sue More, California

Dear Springtime,
I am writing to tell you how pleased I've been with your products. We have 6 horses and 4 dogs, and all of them are on Springtime supplements. Our horses are on Gamma, Bug Off Garlic, occasionally Bee Pollen and Spirulina Wafers, and I've recently started them on J-Flex Concentrate. We've seen significant improvement and dappling in their coats.
Doc, our 10 year old Percheron gelding, has a coat that is so glossy and dappled. He looks wonderful in his natural coat, even without spray on shine products. He really doesn't need anything but a bath to show his vibrant coat. Doc's coat looks wonderful on Gamma.
Recently, the night before a draft horse show, I spent forever washing him and Rock, our other 18 year old Draft horse. That's a lot of acreage per horse, at 18'2 and over 2,000 pounds. Of course, the next morning, Doc and Rock looked like they had rolled in dirt and a manure pile. We didn't have enough time to do more than squirt the worst of it off with a hose. But their underlying coats were so vibrant that just a thorough grooming made them show ring ready. My husband Mike was really impressed with the quality of their coats this year on your products.
Fly control is crucial for Doc, because he came to us with a docked tail. He has no fly swatter in summer! We know the Bug Off Garlic works, because when we ran out all the horses had flies, whereas before there would only be one or two that would alight and then immediately fly off.
