Read some of the great letters that customers have written to us... Hello, My name is Eve. I called you yesterday morning from Florida. My neighbor had given Jubee a dose of Banamine but we weren't seeing much change. She still wanted to lay down and her mouth was clenched tight and her gums were white. You were right about the taste of ECR. As soon as we gave her the first dose, Jubee started smacking her lips, licking and swallowing, and her lifeless eyes perked up. We did spill a little and the first time I pushed the plunger too hard and fast, and a little bit came back out of her mouth, but I guess we got enough in her. Within less than an hour of taking ECR she was back to eating grass. She drank water from the pond twice, and urinated. She is pooping normally, and today, the only way you'd know anything had happened is she got scraped from laying in the sand, around her eyes, on her hips and neck. Thank you for taking my call. I'm a believer in ECR! Eve Jubee is the pretty red mare on the right. When I saw her looking near death on the ground yesterday, so cold and lifeless, I realized how very very much I love that saucy little minx! Thank you for saving her life!
Dear Bruce, Thank you for sending a fresh supply of what I now refer to as Sunny's magic medicine. Sunny is my little Appaloosa mare, who has always been a little dainty, but healthy (except for progressive retinal atrophy), until about four years ago, when she developed a severe case of colic. After our local vet did what he could for her, we went to the nearest surgical equine facility, which was several hours away. Sunny survived her colic surgery, and has done well for the most part with the exception of a tendency to colic easily now. I have found that a sudden change in temperature, different hay, or booster vaccinations will now cause her to colic. The worst so far this past year was when we got a sudden cold snap overnight. I awoke to find her already very bad. She didn't want to get up, her eyes were rolled back with pain and fear, and her legs stuck straight out. I thought I was going to lose her for sure. Our closest vet is an hour away. My farrier had recently told me about Equine Colic Relief, and I had, despite my skepticism, ordered a supply to keep on hand. I ran to get a bottle of it, and, after getting Sunny to her feet, managed to get most of it down her throat. Then I blanketed her and walked around awhile. Just to be on the safe side, I gave her a second bottle. After about a half hour, she seemed more comfortable, so I let her go to the corral. After another half hour, she was back to her usual self, and wanting breakfast. I could hardly believe it. Then our old horse Shotgun got himself cast in the run-in. he must have been there at least two hours before we found him. Even after getting him away from the wall, he didn't want to stand up. His heart rate was over one hundred, and his guts were ominously quiet. I brought him electrolytes in warm water, which I syringed into his dry mouth. Then I gave him a bottle of Equine Colic Relief, covered him with blankets for the night, and hoped for the best. When morning came, I dreaded going out to find a dead horse. Shotgun was not only alive, but, when he saw me, he hauled himself to his feet and walked down to the water tough for a drink. So, for now on, I plan to never be without at least a half dozen bottles of Equine Colic Relief in my barn medicine cupboard. Sincerely,
My horse, Bri, started to colic on Thursday night, Sept. 17, 2009 after I noticed she went off her food and was laying down in the mud and rain outside her stall (she hates to get wet) and looking at her sides. The vet came out that night and her vitals were ok so he gave her a shot of Banamine and thought she had a mild colic and would shake it by the next day. The next day-Friday, she still wasn't eating, drinking or pooping and was starting to get dehydrated so the vet gave her oil to move her and water for hydration through a tube in her nose and did a rectal exam where he didn't find anything abnormal. On Saturday morning he gave her a shot 2x to get her bowels moving and more water through the tube but still no movement. Saturday late afternoon when he came to give her more water as she was getting more and more dehydrated, she started refuxing through her nose and he said that was all he could do in the field-he thought something was blocking the water from being absorbed.
I couldn't afford to take her into a animal hospital. Sunday she still didn't poop but ate a little and drank a little and had stopped refluxing through her nose. I had hope but when I went to the vet's house to pick up more Banamine and he told me sometime when a horse ruptures inside they feel better before they crash. He told me later he was waiting for my call to put her down. On Monday, Sept 21, 2009, after 4 days of colic, a friend told me about Equine Colic Relief product that she saw online and even called to see if they had a distributor in New Mexico. They told her that they had delivered 2 bottles to a feed store here in Santa Fe. I went down and got it. I thought what the hell did I have to lose and I was desperate. I though if she had a twisted gut she would die anyways so it was worth a try. The info on the bottle said it would take 99-200 minutes to relieve a compaction.
Bri had her first movement in 75 minutes and many more after that. She was completely over the colic and back to her old self in a couple of hours. That was 2 weeks ago and she never showed another sign of colic since. Equine Colic Relief really worked for my horse Bri, and I liked how the ingredients are all natural. I only wish I had known about it earlier before I incurred all the vet charges. I would recommend this product for anyone who thinks they have a compaction colic with their horse. I was estatic over how it stopped her colic. Thanks for your wonderful product!

My mare coliced last night. It was down near zero and I was glad I had a bottle of Equine Colic Relief in the truck to give to her. I used a bottle on her last year and it worked great, so I was sure hoping it would work this time too. She definitely had an impaction going on - she had stood in one place without moving a step all day long and ate only a little hay, and she didn't drink any water. I knew I caught it pretty early, just as she was starting to hurt. I gave her the ECR and had to leave her. I turned her over to God and left. Well, He came through for me - God & the ECR - she was alive and well this morning! She was eating and drinking like nothing had even happened. I am so greatfull I found your website and your great product. That's twice it saved my girl. I'm definitely going to spread the word.
I can tell you that it doesn't freeze very easily. It has sat in my truck for months where the temperatures have been down around 24 BELOW (first week of December), and it still wasn't frozen!

Hello Bruce, While sitting in the vet hospital waiting room, I read an advertisement for Equine Colic Relief. Having lost a mare to colic, I was interested in what the product had to offer. The vet bill was over $300, and we lost her anyway. So, taking a chance on $89 was worth a try. We have a lot of horses, so I decided to get your 3 bottle deal. I sure had no idea that I would need all 3 of them before the week was up! Turned out it was the best money I ever spent. #1 On the morning of July the 1st, I went out to feed our 7 year old mare and found out she was pretty sick. Usually she paces back and forth waiting to be fed. But this time, she was laying down, dropping her head against the ground, groaning and showing no interest in her food. She wasn't impacted but definitely in pain. I gave her the 4 ounce dose of ECR, walked her around for a short while then left her alone. Within 30 minutes she was completely over it and pacing and hungry as usual. I've never seen such a quick and complete recovery from colic before. #2 Just over 24 hours later, I went out to the pasture to feed the mares and noticed one didn't come in. Her back legs were extended and she wouldn't pay any attention to me. I brought her in to be by herself in hopes of giving her a dose of ECR. She took the ECR with no problems. By this time it was storming and I headed to the house. I went back out about midnight, maybe six hours later and there was a small patch of manure. By morning she was ready to eat and I had no concern about impaction any longer. #3 Just this evening, when heading to feed, I noticed one mare not heading for the hay and almost tip toeing around. She's normally pretty spooky and we weren't sure how she would take the ECR but she took it just fine. That was an hour and a half ago. Right now she's up and eating like nothing ever happened. That's three for three!!! This stuff just works! I would highly recommend this product. The delivery is fast and easy, as well as the results. I am a firm believer and I won't ever be without Equine Colic Relief. I just got on your website and ordered 3 more bottles. Please send them asap. Nancy Castle, Deming NM
May 2009: My husband bought your product a few months ago, but I was hoping that I would never be in a position to have to use it. Last week, I left my Thoroughbred gelding alone for an hour in his paddock, and returned to find him lying flat in the paddock covered in sweat and breathing heavily. He stood up when I called to him, but he continued to paw like he wanted to lie down again. I injected some IM Banamine and called the vet, but she was at least an hour away. When my horse continued to act uncomfortable, I got a syringe and your product and gave him the entire bottle in two syringe doses. He didn't object to the taste at all, and swallowed most of the first syringe-full and all of the second one. Within a few minutes, he appeared more comfortable, and, by the time the vet arrived, he was strolling around the paddock and grazing comfortably. The vet said his bowel sounds were very active, and, although he still had some gas, he had started to pass it (and had already passed some manure when I loaded him on my trailer). Ordinarily, my vet would have given him some oil, but it was not necessary. She gave him some more medication in an abundance of caution, but he was fine. TD
Hello Sir, We have a 30 year sorrel gelding named Sam. One night about 3 weeks ago we had just fed and he was laying down and not eating. We got him up and started walking him around. We then got the Equine Colic Relief ready and gave him 2 syringes full. We then continued walking him. Within the next 20-30 minutes he was passing manure and intestines were making good noises. We put him in the barn and he was acting his old self within the next hour. Thank goodness we had the stop horse colic. It was amazing how fast it worked! Thank you for your great product!

Thank you Bruce, Yes, this was my second order--the first one contained 3 bottles and yesterday I had to try it on a horse that was uncomfortable and trying very hard to colic. I caught it early and got the bottle down him and after about an hour or so, he was out in the front yard, eating grass like nothing had ever happened. He had obviously been down several times during the night (the night before) and rolled to the point of scratching places above his eyes. We had been giving him medication for EPM and all of the blogs and forums said to watch out for colic in the 2 to 3rd week after receiving it, as it would cause a "die off" of the protozoa that causes it, and sure enough, he colicked right on time..! Your product is literally a life saver! Thank you! Allison Bennett/Bennett Farms Sport Horses
Bruce, Your colic medicine made a believer out of me on the first try. I went down to feed and my racing Arab was on the ground. I got her up but she only took a few steps and went down again. I thought I might be calling my neighbor that has a Bobcat to start digging a hole. I thought about the Equine Colic Relief medicine that I had purchased from you and figured that I would give it a try. I gave her the prescribed amount and the threw a halter on her to lead her with me down to get the paper. Within 15 minutes she was alert and strutting like she was in a show. Within 25 minutes there were road apples on the road. Complete recovery!! Thanks!!! Harlan Williams Elbert, Colorado |
