Manna Pro Weight Accelerator for Senior Horses – Weight Gain and Muscle Support Supplement with Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Flaxseed – High-Calorie Feed Topper for Horses – 8 lb Bag

After going through a hard winter and my sorely lacking knowledge in equine nutrition, my aging mare lost a noticeable amount of adipose fat and body condition (Went from a 5-4 to a 4-3 on the Henneke chart). After a few weeks of research and learning from my mentor, I stumbled across Manna Pro's SWA. I noticed that all of the ingredients in SWA (aside from the artificial caramel flavor, which is forgiveable) are quite a dream for older horses. Antioxidants Vitamin C and E to help stop arthritis, Omega-3 to reduce swelling, Protein for muscle building, Fats for restoration of adipose tissue, Biotin for skin and hoof health, and Probiotics to restore the horse's natural fiber-digesting process. And it doesn't interfere with the trace mineral supplement that I feed, and has turned out to be a wonderful addition to it. Bravo, Manna Pro! After only 4 months of steady, slow improvement, and proper care in addition to SWA, my mare is back to looking herself and seems happy to be back at work with our riding and adventuring.(Assuming you've already spoken with your equine veterinarian) here's a tip about getting the most out of SWA: Regardless of whether you're using this supplement or not, horses require exercise and constant access to quality, low sugar (less than 10%) hay. Being without constant access to fiber (hay and forage) is one reason why horses start to lose good body condition. Why? 1) Horses never stop producing stomach acid because (in the wild) they're always eating grass/forage. Without a constant supply of chewed grass and saliva in the stomach, the acid-dumping creates an acidic gut. 2) Horses naturally have a plethora of bacteria in their hind gut, much of it meant to ferment/break down fiber. This bacteria can't survive in an acidic gut. And if horses go for hours on end without hay or forage, these 'good' bacteria starve and die off (their dead matter causing further problems than just poor digestion). The probiotics in SWA help restore the healthy bacteria ('gut flora') to your horse's digestive system. (We humans eat yogurt to do that). BUT if you want to get the most out of SWA, you can't go right back to the old routine of your horse not having (low-sugar, high-fiber) hay for hours. Why? Because you'd not be keeping the probiotics alive; they'd die off as you could feed more SWA, and then you'd be creating a bunch of dead bacteria in your horse's gut. That might exacerbate the problem you started with or create a new one. Rehabilitating the digestive system (and your entire horse) starts with feeding and diet. I think everyone tries to do the best that they can and that's great! Hope this helps you take it to the next level!

I recently adopted 3 senior horses. All under weight. I started them on the Senior Weight Accelerator in September it’s now November 19th. So far I have seen major improvements in all three horses weight. The white horse pictured was the most underweight of the three horses. He still has a long way to go but the progress so far is great. The horses were unsure about the powder being added to their grain at first but with a day or two they took to it just fine. Now they lick their buckets until every little bit of the weight accelerator is gone leaving no trace in the buckets lol. I’ve been doing 2 scoops in the morning and 2 in the evening planning on moving up to the max amount daily of 10 oz soon. If you’re debating on getting this for your senior or underweight horse….don’t! Just follow the directions and start off slowly. I introduced it very slowly starting with one scoop a day per horse. Work your way up and give your horse time to adjust to something new. I’m loving the results so far. If there’s one thing I wasn’t happy about I did recently receive a bag with a hole in it, which waisted a lot of product. I have ordered probably 20 or so bags so far and that’s the first bag I’ve received with a hole in it. Still hoping they do a subscribe and save option that would be nice!7 months in update…What an amazing difference! All three horses horses look completely healthy now. Weight is right where it needs to be and also a huge improvement in hooves and mane. Definitely recommend this weight gain!

Highly pleased with this product works wonderfully for my horses will purchase again!My horses are super picky, and have no problem with it! Definitely worth the money!

I’m very skeptical of a lot of “supplements”, but this stuff is worth the money. I have an older senior mare who looks better (and shinier too) after feeding this. I feed this alongside Triple Crown Senior Gold and beet pulp, and I find this mix has put weight and coat quality back on my horse along with adequate forage! Much, much easier to top dress compared to an oil. And it smells good too!

This is a good buy for a product that does well keeping weight on my 28 yr old gelding with teeth issues. He lacks up his feed and has a decent bloom for his multiple health issues.

We rescued a very underweight Haflinger and I decided to take a chance on this weight accelerator and my goodness am I ever glad I did! This is the 3 week difference and you can tell he is feeling 100% better! Thank you for a wonderful product!

My horse lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of it back using this. I will say-- mix it well with grain.

This stuff does work. I have a 26 year old gelding horse that gets this and is starting to built the weight back on. Vet suggested getting a high fat supplement added and it works. I'm very skeptical on what I give my horses but this does work.
