Review: Majesty's Flex Wafer

If you're looking an easy-to-feed and palatable joint supplement, then you'll find it in Majesty's Flex Wafers. Whisper has put these wafers to the test for the past two months, and I've been thoroughly impressed.

Majesty's Flex Wafers are joint supplements all rolled up into an appealing horse treat. You feed one per day, and your joint supplement is taken care of. I was attracted to these for a number of reasons - Whisper's on many supplements already, and this would be one less powder that I'd have to add to her feed. The price was also super appealing - I got a bag of these which would last 60 days for just under $40.

There are many benefits to these wafers. I love the fact that the supplement is fully contained within this wafer, so there's no waste in transferring a powder into your horse's grain bucket, then to his stall feeder, and then having him only ingest some of the powder. You know that your horse is getting the full dose, every time. Additionally, the dosage is fool-proof - no under-dosing or over-dosing.

These wafers are clearly super appealing to horses - Whisper, who can be a picky eater, gobbled these right up. It was easy to drop them into her feed, but I started feeding them by hand after each ride as a treat.

Now to the actual supplement aspect of these wafers. These wafers contain 2500 mg glucosamine, 2500 mg MSM, 1250 mg yucca extract, 600 mg chondroitin sulfate and 500 mg ascorbic acid. You can feed one per day, or can double the dose to two per day for horses in competition. I fed one wafer per day and noticed positive results in Whisper. She seemed to move more comfortably, and the time she needed to fully warm up decreased. Her joints had previously been popping at the walk as I rode, but after about a month on these wafers, the joint popping went away entirely.

All in all, I'm really pleased with Majesty's Flex Wafers. I think they're a much-needed solution to the issue of waste when feeding joint supplements, and they're so convenient it's wonderful. I would be keeping Whisper on these long-term, but she was just diagnosed with Cushings. These wafers contain apple and molasses, both of which have high sugar contents, so I'm forced to take her off of these wafers. However, I'd definitely recommend them to owners of horses whose diets are not restricted by Cushings. You can read more about Majesty's Flex Wafers here.

Review: Mare Magic

Mare owners, rejoice - Mare Magic truly does work magic on cranky mares. Or at least on my cranky mare. Don't get me wrong - Whisper's sweet demeanor is what attracted me to her originally. But last year Whisper's crankiness grew worse and worse. I tried a whole slew of approaches, including treating her for Lyme and ulcers, having a chiropractor out, doing regular full-body massages, and carefully checking the fit of her tack. But still, she persisted in just being....grouchy. She was grumpy on the ground, constantly pinning her ears at me and at other horses, and just wasn't happy. Where had my sweet mare gone?

Enter Mare Magic. After being on Mare Magic for less than two weeks, Whisper's gentle nature began to emerge again. After a month, she was back to the kind mare that I love. While she certainly still has her attitude, she's not constantly cranky and is much more willing to allow other horses and humans in her space bubble. She's happy, relaxed, and content - I couldn't ask for more.

Suffice it to say, I'm thrilled Mare Magic all around. Made of dried raspberry leaves, this supplement is palatable and my picky mare readily eats it up. It's provided excellent results in Whisper's case. Best of all, Mare Magic is super affordable - it costs about $15 a month.

I'm sharing this review as evidence of what Mare Magic has done for Whisper. In her case, it worked, but every horse is different so you might not see the same results. I'd also encourage you to do a medical workup to make sure that your mare's moodiness isn't originating from a physical issue like ulcers, Lyme, or pain somewhere in the body.
