Ella started to have breathing problems a few years ago, especially when it was hot and humid. I consulted with my veterinarian and tried a few different respiratory products, but she is a picky eater and it was a struggle to get her to eat them. While looking in the SmartPak catalog for a pelleted respiratory supplement, I noticed a story from someone who had used SmartBreathe for their horse. As an added bonus, the supplement was available in pellets. I decided to give them a try, and when I offered them to her, she gobbled the pellets up and looked for more!
I saw a difference in Ella’s breathing within a couple of weeks of starting her on the supplement, even during a hot, humid spell of weather. She is now almost twenty-nine years old and still doing great! If it weren’t for SmartBreathe, I think I would only be able to ride at a walk with maybe a little trotting here and there. Instead, she’s able to trot and canter for thirty minutes at a time with just a few short breaks!
