SUCCEED Supports Stallion’s Weight Gain After Overseas Travel

Sharon Londono, manager of Oak Hill Ranch, is one of the first to complete the SUCCEED Challenge with her stallion Don Caruso. Meet Don Caruso and see how this gorgeous stallion improved in just 60 days on SUCCEED.

Don Caruso was purchased in Denmark for the purpose of being a breeding stallion in the U.S. for Oak Hill Ranch. As you probably know, importation on stallions is much more lengthy than for a gelding or mare. In fact, the average time they spend in quarantine is 45 to 60 days.

Don Caruso entered into quarantine, a little drawn up from the trip but nothing we couldn’t manage with some rest and fluids. That is where the problem began.

He fretted and never settled in the stall. He did not eat anything we offered, but nibbled on alfalfa hay.

Upon finally getting him out of quarantine and getting him to the ranch he started fretting a new. We tried turnout, light work sessions, ulcer meds and again a smorgasbord of different food items.

Don Caruso Before

Heather Blitz, our former trainer, was back in the area and helping us with our current trainer when I mentioned my problem. She recommended SUCCEED. I said I would try anything!

Heather then got everything set up and the product arrived. I was very happy that we could administer the first doses orally with the paste, since he wasn’t eating.

Within a relatively short period of time his appetite improved, he started settling in his surroundings and began gaining weight.

On July 14, 2010 when we started using SUCCEED, Don Caruso weighed 1,104 pounds. By September 3 his weight had increased to 1,325 lbs. If that doesn’t impress you, look at the photos!

How SUCCEED Supports Healthy Weight Gain in Horses

In performance and other stressful situations, it may be difficult for some horses to maintain their weight. The best way to help a horse pack on much-needed pounds is to make sure that its digestive tract is totally healthy. When the stomach, intestines, and hindgut are working their best, your horse will get the most out of its food. And when it feels better it will eat better too. These all-natural ingredients in SUCCEED promote weight gain specifically through:

• Oat flour rich in a soluble fiber called Beta glucan moderates transit time in digestion. This allows for increased digestion of processed feeds in the small intestines as well as a moderating the release of sugar into the bloodstream.
• Amino acid L-Glutamine helps build the villi (ripples in the gut wall), maximizing surface area for greater nutrient absorption.
• Specially processed oat oil in SUCCEED is rich in Polar Lipids, specialized fat molecules that coat damaged tissues in the gut and provide an amazing conduit for getting nutrients into the bloodstream.
