After spending time working in many top yards around the globe, I have found Brandes Formula to be best product I have ever come across to bring a horse back to full health! Any horses that are not thriving seem to improve almost immediately from being put on this stuff. It clears out any mucus in their lungs, and after racing, the amount of time it takes for my horses to recover has halved and recuperation time after racing is minimized. My horses now look great and I would have no problem in recommending this product to anyone.

"The Back Pad is part of our daily maintenance for all of our show horses and we have found it to be an invaluable part of our program. With regular use, our horses start out much softer throught their bodies; we have fewer incidents of back soreness and are much happier overall. I love that the unit is so portable and that it is very easy to use. Thank you for this quality product and for your support!
