Go to smartpakequine.com and look at thoses supplements there, they usually have lots of reviews on their products.

Or you could look on horsetackreview.com

Hope you find something that works.

It would really depend on what your horse actually needs so far as diet as to whether any of these would be appropriate or not.

I'm curious as to why you would want to feed both Weight Builder and Fat Cat together? They are both weight gain products, just different ingredients and vit/min levels. Forget the fact that the Sho Glo and Joint Combo are also going to parall, here.

Or are you just tossing these out for comparison? You didn't really specify.

Might also be helpful if we had an idea of why you want to put your horse on a supplement, unless, again, this is just for comparison purposes.

I just wanted to see if anyone has any pros/cons with these products, my horse isn't on any of them.

I haven't had Gypsy on any of them, either, but so far as the weight builder supplements, I think the Fat Cat is a better product.

The Joint Combo is basically an all around maintenance type supplement, and I wouldn't recommend it for actual arthritic problems.

I've heard good things bout the Sho-Glo, but have never used it,lol!
