"We have a 9 year old quarter horse gelding whom we bought 4 years ago. When we bought him he had cracked feet. We thought getting him on a good diet and getting him out of Washington State and down to dry Utah would help his feet. We put him on Necessity and after 6 months, our farrier asked what I was doing different, as he could see the difference in the hoof growth. We now have great feet on this horse after 1 year on Necessity." "I have two geldings on Necessity with Glucosamine & MSM. They are both 24 years old. Before I switched to Necessity, I had both of them on Corta-Flex for about 1 1/2 years. I didn't seem to notice a difference with them in using Corta-Flex. The one gelding had been diagnosed with a mild case of arthritis in one of his front knees and at his last check with the horse chiropracter she mentioned that his knee seems to be doing much better since using Necessity. He is not stiff on that knee and he is bendin and flexing better. I also noticed that after I started using Necessity, within a few months he seems to have more energy. My horses eat the liquid much better then pelleted supplements I've used in the past. I also like the fact that there are a lot of vitamins and minerals in Necessity than other joint supplements I've used in the past. I've tried probably 6 to 7 other joint supplements trying to figure out what works for my guys and Necessity is the best. The price is very reasonable too. Spread the word.." Starr Wirth "I cannot say enough good things about the product Integrity Hoof and Joint Supplement. Since I have started my horses on Integrity, I have seen definite results. There has been a marked improvement in their performances. They are running harder and their turns are snappier. Now I no longer have days where they feel stiff and sore, they are moving much more freely. My farrier cannot believe the difference it has made in my horses feet. Gone are the brittle, breaking hoof walls, now we are finally able to keep shoes on with no problems! I have not used another product that has shown me the great results that Integrity has."

"I had the pleasure of attending one of Kelly Yates seminars a few months back. What a super nice lady!! Your product was promoted by Kelly, and several students were eager to purchase your product. I've been feeding Necessity with Glucosamine for close to 10 months, and several students complimented how shiny my horse's coat was during the seminar. My blacksmith also complimented on the excellent condition of my horse's hooves!! I am amazed in the overall improvement of my horse, she is looking awesome and performing great!! I wanted to share my thoughts with you regarding your awesome product." Thanks
"My ten year old daughter has a 12 year old red roan AQHA mare she runs barrels on. To be honest, she was gorgeous before we put her on Necessity with Glucosamine, getting many complements at shows as well as inquiries as to selling her. But she was a finicky eater as she wouldn't drink away from home and was beginning to act arena sour. After feeding Necessity with Glucosamine, she now cleans her feed, her hair and coat look wonderful and I have been able to cut her Purina Strategy down. She has more energy and stamina but she is much calmer and able to be controlled by my 10 yr old. The offers to buy her happen every where we go! (SHE IS NOT FOR SALE!) We are so pleased with the results we put our 3 yr old gelding on Necessity with Glucosamine who is a barrel prospect in training. We bought him from a ranch in Oklahoma in January. He had been in pasture during the cold Oklahoma winter and I kept him in pasture during our winter here in Texas. Needless to say his hair was very long, dull and coarse. He wasn't shedding that long hair much at all and continued to look dull even though I groomed him daily! He has a very sweet personality but was still an ornery little kid! Until Necessity! His hair is shedding, coat is shiny and soft and I notice a calmness I didn't realize I missed before. He is currently at the trainers and is able to stay on task and is doing very well. I also have a yearling and a 4 yr old in training that are being put on Necessity with Glucosamine. We are excited to see the changes in them as they progress. My daughter has qualified for the NBHA youth world show this year on her mare. She says after we started Necessity with Glucosamine she could notice a difference in how sweetie turned the barrels. She said her horse has more strength and forward motion. I think it's because Necessity has made her feel so much better. Along with that she now eats all her feed and is getting all her vital nutrients. Thanks guys and gals for developing such a wonderful product. My equine family thanks you as well."
"I have been a Veterinarian Technician for 23 years. I have had the opportunity to compare products, prices, and most of all results on all the different products including those that have not been released for general distribution. I have not found any other supplement as complete and affordable as the Necessity products. I have had wonderful results from Necessity with Glucosamine since October 2001 after being introduced to the product. My barrel horses, THIS BRATS PACKIN and LITE METAL, have shinier coats, better hoof condition, soundness and less anxiety just to name a few. Not only do the horses benefit from Necessity, but so do the owners. It is much easier to feed one complete nutritional and nutraceutical supplement, not to mention how much easier it is on the budget."
"I have tried several other supplements on my horses and they all fail in comparison to Necessity with Glucosamine! For example, my seven year old Barrel/Pole Gelding, Timmy, was showing signs of soreness in his shoulders and was difficult to handle getting in the gate. After one month on Necessity, he wasn't sore and his muscle tone has become more defined. He has calmed down and is easy to get in and out of the gate at competitions. I feel that your product is well rounded and gives the horses everything they need in one simple application! I wish that everything could be this simple and cost efficient. Once again, thank you for developing such a great product.
"I have a 16 year old Quarter Horse mare. She was losing weight, seem stiff in her back end, and her hair coat was bad. Two vets looked at her and did some tests. Both vets could not tell me what was wrong with her. I finally went to the web and started searching for answers. I stumbled on to your web page and read your results. I have to admit I did not want to spend the money on another product, but I decided to give it a try. After a month, my mare looks and acts like a different horse. She is eating again, moving better and her hair coat looks great. One of the vets came by yesterday to check on her and all he could say is I do not know how but what you are giving her is working. Thank you!"
"We bought a mare at the end of October and she needed more weight and her coat was also dull. We have seen a vast improvement in both her coat and weight since we began using Necessity. We now feel comfortable that she's in breeding condition and plan to breed her this weekend. We are purchasing more Necessity to use with our other pleasure riding/broodmares. Thank you very much."
"I found Necessity through an e-mail trial offer. I was extremely skeptical because I thought, if it is so great why are they giving it away. When I received my bottle I hesitated to use it because it seemed like there was no way one product could be able to do so much. The part that made me realize I needed to give it a try was when I looked at all the junk I was currently giving my horse and how much money I was spending. When I realized that the poor guy was on at least 4 different things I was stunned. So the thought of one product doing what 4-5 were doing was extremely appealing. The best part was I not only got a FREE bottle, but a great instruction pamphlet to tell me how to feed this stuff. Within two weeks I noticed a difference, Rappy was eating his grain better, I was able to cut back on some of his other feed and he seemed great. I am too embarrassed to admit EVERYTHING I was giving him thinking I was doing what was best for him. I am lucky he didn't go on a hunger strike. The real convincing factor for me was when I noticed a difference in his coat. Living in Maine a hair coat can take a real beating in the winter months. To add to that we had a horrible winter and having just given birth to my son I was not able to follow my blanketing routine as much as I would have liked too. April 1st came and I was mortified to see his long hair and almost no luster, I thought I would have better luck showing a sheep. I knew I would never be ready for my first dun factor class on May 19th and then we got even more snow and cold weather. I was basically going to give up on hoping to place at the first show. But then there was hope, Necessity. We finally had some warmer weather, it stayed above freezing, and I saw the hair really start to shed. That was not the best party, his coat was starting to shine and his hair coat was looking soft and smooth. I was literally stunned at the difference and I am thinking now that I may be able to actually pull this off. I knew my normal hair coat supplement would have not given me the same results and that one supplement alone costs almost as much as Necessity. The best part is Rappy seems happy and content and I know that I am getting everything I need in one supplement rather than 4 or 5 and I don't have to worry about anything reacting badly with anything else. Not to mention how much money I am saving, which actually means I will just use that money to buy other stuff to spoil him. I would be very surprised if someone actually tried Necessity and didn't like it. I am not usually one to rave about a product, especially something like a feed supplement, but this one is worth raving about. I am proud to say that with Necessity I feel that I have a happy and healthy horse and that is all that really matters."
"I just wanted to drop a note to let you know how wonderful Necessity is! My barrel horse Appy, had some kind of growth in his left eye. I had the vet come out and look at it and he said it looked like an infection. He had me putting antibiotic in his eye for 4 weeks. The eye was showing a little improvement but not much. The last week of this treatment my free sample of Necessity arrived. I put Appy on it immediately. Appy has been on 2 oz. a day with his grain and pellet ration and it has been three months (with no antibiotic in his eye). I checked his eye and that little growth is completely GONE. I know the Necessity has helped his immune system! I was amazed at other noticeable differences in him since starting him on Necessity, his coat is so shiny and such a bright white and soft too, his hooves look great, he is not so 'hyper' all the time, and he keeps his mind on his work! I am so impressed with this product we have all three of our horses on it now and I have been recommending it to all the horse people I know! Can't wait for the next shipment to arrive! Thank you so much!"
"Within two weeks of supplementing my 15-year-old mare with Necessity, I saw a noticeable difference. She has always been high-strung and a hard keeper. It was especially difficult to haul her, because she would not eat or drink away from home. After feeding Necessity, I am so impressed and pleased with the way she is performing. Now when I haul her she cleans-up all her feed and drinks plenty of water. Before competition she is not as nervous or anxious. She is toning-up and gaining weight - she looks and feels great! She is finally really starting to perform! Thank you for such a great product!!"
"In just one month on Necessity, I have seen a big improvement in my 7 year old mare. She is more focused going into the arena and she is quicker around the barrels. Also, her coat is shiny and her muscle tone has improved immensely. I'll be adding Necessity to my feeding program for all my horses."
"I have 3 horses that are currently on Necessity and I am extremely impressed with the results. I won a second in my first Pro-rodeo this year and my daughter won a second in a very tough jackpot that included many WPRA and IPRA champions. This past week she won a second on my horse at a MRCA rodeo. The horses are feeling better than I have ever seen them and are working super. Thanks for a great product."
"Since using Necessity, I have noticed that Turbo's coat has more shine, he is loosing his winter coat much faster and his hair is very soft and silky. When compared to the other horses who are on the same feed program minus Necessity, Turbo is MUCH further along in shedding and has a much more shinier coat. I've also noticed a calming effect on him at the last competition, he wasn't nearly as uptight as he can get and instead actually seemed to really enjoy himself instead of being nervous."
"Necessity has really made a difference in my horses. They are acting much better than they have in years. They feel better and are now more willing to work. This is truly a remarkable product."
"I am feeding Necessity to my barrel horse and I have noticed a great increase in energy as well as his coat clicking out much quicker than usual for this time of year. I love your product."
"Necessity is a really good product. I've been very pleased with the results as I'm currently in 2nd in Utah for American West Barrel Racing. He has more drive and feels way to good! I have a number of friends that are using Necessity as well and one of them is on the hunt for the finals."
"My horse likes Necessity so well that when I come home from work he starts calling to me as soon as I get out of my truck. He is full of energy now. He likes to get out and play. I am so happy to see my pride and joy so happy and energetic."
"Colby is a very picky eater and she doesn't have much of an appetite. After two weeks on Necessity, her appetite has improved, she is more alert and she is gaining weight. I love this product and would recommend Necessity to all horse owners who want to improve their horses."
"I received my Necessity and boy, do my horses LOVE it!! They are so excited at feed time now and their heads do NOT come up from the feed pan until they are done! I need to order some more form you. They are starting to shed out now and their attitudes are wonderful after feeding Necessity for a week."
"After feeding Necessity with Glucosamine to my 14 year old mare, she displayed a noticeable and continuous decrease in anxiety. Also, her coat is shinier and muscle tone is more definite. I have also found it to be very palatable for my pick mare. I would definitely recommend Necessity with Glucosamine to anyone!"
"My horse Chantilly Lace goes crazy over Necessity. I swear she would 'nurse' it out of the syringe we sue to dose it out. She is getting over a upper respiratory flu and she wasn't taking her medicine so we disguised in in Necessity. She nearly sucked it out of the dosing syringe...NO LIE."
"In the past, my mare has always been one of the last ones to shed her winter coat, not this year. She is shedding like crazy and her coat has a healthy shine. Her increased energy is incredible. She has been a 3D champion but I ran 1D for the first time and placed 7th. I am so impressed with your product."
"My clients commend Necessity's ease of use and palatability. The most notable improvements I have seen in the horses on Necessity are hair coat and appetite."
"After using Necessity for one week my seven-year-old AQHA gelding improved his barrel runs by over a 1/2 second, which resulted in winning the 2000 Minnesota WSCA State Championship in barrels. This product has definitely improved the overall quality of his coat, as well as mental attitude in my training program and in his barrel runs. I feel his stamina has increased giving him the extra power and energy needed to complete a full barrel run without losing quality time."
"I fed Necessity to a yearling filly in preparation for show season. In less than a month, her hair coat began to shine and her appetite improved. I was so impressed with Necessity that I now feed it to my weanlings. They are gaining weight and shedding out beautifully. Adding Necessity to my regular feed eliminates dust and settling, and my horses really like the taste."
"I noticed a considerable change in hair coat and muscle tone within two weeks after feeding Necessity to my futurity colts. The shine and vibrancy of color was very impressive as was the physical conditioning and endurance. I have used a lot of supplements in my training program over the last 15 years and this is definitely the best yet."
"Necessity provides the precise formulation of vitamins and minerals to guarantee shiny hair coats, healthy hooves, improved muscle tone and increased performance. The ease to use pump makes feeding Necessity a pleasure. I am extremely satisfied with Necessity and would recommend it to any horse enthusiast wanting to ensure proper equine health."
"I feed Necessity to my weanling foals, and I am not experiencing the problems generally associated with weaning. The foals are slicked off, their appetites are good, and they are gaining weight. Necessity entices the foals to eat because they love the taste."
"We have been feeding Necessity to an 8 year old gelding I run barrels on and a 5 year old mare that I planned on taking to the futurities. In less than a month I could see a huge difference in hair coat. But my gelding seemed to worry less! Best of all neither horse got high at all."
"Necessity has become a MUST in our feeding program for broodmares and futurity colts. Since I have started feeding Necessity there has been a very noticeable change in muscle tone as well as coat condition. My horses are utilizing feed more efficiently which in turn as cut down on amounts of feed as well as costs."
"Recently, we took the best of every feed and compared them all to see what would work best for our horses. Of course, we want what's most cost effective along with an easy non-complicated feed program. Necessity was the best so it has stayed with us! Every horse is an individual, and I feel, needs to be fed accordingly. Necessity, however, works for all of our competitive horses, which I think says a lot for the product. It's nice to know that my horses are being taken care of and not receiving an over-toxicity in their feed. Thank you!!"
"Things have been blustery, cool and rainy here in Hawaii. Our "winter". The challenge in this weather is to keep our horses from getting "rainrot". My horse got it very, very bad right before I bought him in February of 2002. However, he has not had it since and I attribute a lot of that to Necessity giving him such a strong immune system. I keep him clean and give him Betadine baths, but I know the Necessity is a big part of it. Best wishes and thanks for all your help."
"Gittin' Even is my 11-year old daughter's 18-year old gelding that she barrel races on. We record all of our times from back when I was running on him. My daughter started running on Gittin' Even at the age of 6. Her times have gotten faster because my daughter (Delainya) has gotten older and wiser but so has Gittin' Even. This gelding has a heart as big as he is but we've learned that special care will keep him running. We started supplementing Gittin' Even with Necessity two years ago when Delainya attended her first Sharon Camarillo clinic. With the special care we give Gittin' Even, which includes Necessity, Delainya has been able to place in the 1D open consistently. Sure she's my daughter but I believe Necessity has helped keep Gittin' Even at the top of his game. The times do the talking." |

"The Necessity product within the 1st month of use had remarkable improvement in performance of our show horses and has given the stamina, and agility. and attitude it takes to show in the ring. We also use the product on our running horses, here again it has had remarkable improvement in there ability to run and flex around a barrel. The endurance of both the show and running horse is far more than expected of them."
