"I purchased Marley in September 2023, he came from a hunting home where he had mainly hacked over summer. The first 3 months of ownership were great, he had a nice laid-back temperament and I was hacking out with friends.

Once we started to enter the winter months his personality changed, he was getting stressed coming up onto the yard, shouting for the other horses, wouldn’t stand still and his body language was different, he almost had a permanent stressed look on his face. He went from a horse that I could hack for hours to one I couldn’t even get on without him being tense and bucking. This got to the stage where he wouldn’t even take a step forwards without him reacting in some way.

I started to do some research into his past, using his passport I was able to trace and contact old owners, one of which told me that she had been advised he had, had ulcers in the past. This made sense with the time of year, less grass on the fields and the behavior I was experiencing. I did some research into ulcers and with the help of nutritionists for recommended feed brands I changed his diet and maintenance, making sure he had plenty of hay and a diet to support the

stomach. He started regular physio where we found he had discomfort mainly on the right side around L4 vertebrae again another symptom of ulcers. 

I decided to give Marley some time off, to give his new feed and maintenance regime time to kick in. Looking back now at pictures his coat started to look dull, he lost a lot of condition over his back, giving the appearance of a dipped back, I put this down to it being winter being rugged and not doing any exercise.

After about 5-6 weeks I spoke to my local vet who advised they had a scoping clinic day coming up so I booked Marley in, to my surprise he scoped clear! Could it be that the change in the maintenance and diet had worked? But he was still stressed and unhappy. I spoke to a friend who had a horse diagnosed with ulcers she told me all about the hindgut and mentioned EquiNectar. I went to the website read all the information and asked some questions on the “chat” all of which was very informative. I decided to give EquiNectar a go.

I started to feed EquiNectar once per day at the recommended anount advised, within 1 week I started to notice a difference. 

Marley’s droppings were a much better consistency, he just seemed much happier…we are now nearly 3 months in and wow the difference in Marley is

amazing. He is no longer stressed coming up onto the yard, he stands in alone happily, his eyes are calm and bright, he just looks happy and a picture of health with a shiny coat, his back and topline is improving. We have done lots of in hand and ground work to start building him back up and just recently have started to ride again where he has shown no objections.

EquiNectar has been a complete gamechanger for Marley and Me.  The advice and support that the team provide is outstanding, they really do have our Equines best interests at heart.

Thank you Equinectar."
