Cosmo

Since Platinum, he has slowly become the most best-attituded, shiniest, willingest, soundest, mellowest, go-i-est and not to mention, one of the most loved horses at our barn.  My trainer calls him, “perfect”.  I have worked SOOO incredibly hard with this horse on all levels.  He was quite a challenge to say the least-when we bought him, and I was a first time horse owner to add to that!!  My daughter and I both ride him.  And to talk about today, she just rode him  in our town’s 4th of July parade (seriously, a miracle!) and we can basically, these days, ask anything of him-jump some jumps, trail ride, ground work, walk our son around-who has Autism, teach a beginner to canter, and just mostly have a ball riding around the ring!  Anyway, I am proud to say I give our horse your product, THANK YOU PLATINUM, from my heart.

In the all horse gratitude my heart can hold.

Nils

Nils is a 20 year young Norwegian Fjord Horse. He is one of my school horses, and teaches 5-8 lessons each week, both children and adults. He’s my teaching partner and my friend, and Platinum gives him the healthy edge he needs to stay alert and take great care of my students, whether they’re learning their posting diagonals, their canter leads or out on a hack. When he moved to our farm in ‘07 he was really quiet and stoic. Now that he knows his job and the routine of the stable he is the reporter – whinnying to the other horses when he goes into the arena to tell them he has an important job! He always looks great, but since he’s been on Platinum his coat has bloomed, he’s much more nimble and seems happier. I love being able to rely on him to give my riders exactly what they need day in and day out. He’s a great horse, a humble horse.

Remington

I rescued Remington in 2004. He was a big beautiful TB that while had very nice gaits had many problems associated with him, he had a severe problem with cribbing, (he would not even stop with the miracle collar) he developed such huge face muscles in the front of his ears when you put the collar on to tight it would just slip back behind his ears. He also has ulcers and a bad history of colicing (according to his previous owners, I didnt know this until I researched his previous owners). On the morning of November 2008 I went out to Remingtons stall and noticed he had been rolling in his stall, he had bascially a hole in the middle of his stall (more…)

Jake Euer Valley Meadow

When I bought Jake as a two year old in November, he was lame in the left hind fetlock (P2), with the beginings of Osteoarthritis. I took him home and started him on Platinum Performance CJ and laid him off for a couple of months. I have been without a horse for over fifteen years and all I wanted was a trail horse to enjoy. Well here he is seven months later on our first big overnight trail ride and he was awesome! Thank you so much for giving me the horse I knew he could be!

Houdini-Clearwater

That Darn Houdini (aka Houdini) is a 17-year old OTTB, currently showing Second Level dressage and about ready to move to Third Level. He is active and athletic, which makes it very hard to keep weight on him. He has also had two leg fractures since he came off the track, so joint maintenance is a high priority. He has been on Platinum Performance for about 18 months now and his conditioning is the best it has ever been and he is moving and working comfortably than he ever has, despite increased demands. The only change in his routine has been adding Platinum Performance to his diet. Thank you for a great product!

rio2Rio

This is Rio, he was a rescue horse in mid march of 2008. Rio could hardly walk around a round pen with out getting sore, this 4th of july weekend, we went on a 5 mile ride that gainded 1,200 in elevation up loose rock and muddy hills. He didn’t miss one step and was ready for more when done! He has been on Platnium Performance since i got him and I think it has helped him a ton! Above are the before and after pics, Rio doesn’t look like the same horse any more! Thanks!

Pepto

My horses name is Pepto’s A Remedy, 8 yr. old Red Roan Stallion. Pepto is currently showing in cutting competition. He showed a couple of times and was not haveing good runs. He got real sick, came so close to loosing him, it was unreal. We did not know what was going on with him, but the vets and Pepto won the battle. He was also having some stifle issues recently. I started him on Platinum Performance CJ, and he has never looked better than he does right now. He is so sound right now, I can’t beleive it. He has been through so much, and to finally see him healthy makes me sooo very happy. I have also started two more of my horses on Platinum.  Thank you for a great great product.

Dustee

This is my horse Dustee!! I have owned him for 11 years now. He has been on Platinum Performance most of those years. It made a huge difference in him after I started him on it. I really saw him transform from the inside out. A couple of years ago he developed allergies to something that comes out in the winter. I spent two winter seasons trying to figure it out with no success. I called you guys for assistance with his case and you had a product that you thought could help him. I purchased the skin and allergy product and I have not seen a hive on him since. THANK YOU, PP!! More recently my horse CAST in his paddock and has some major ligament and soft tissue damage in his pastern/coffin areas and once again I enlisted the help of your staff for this issue. I am continuing the use of the Platinum with increased scoops and starting the Osteon product for him as well. I have great faith in your product and with that and his stall rest that my boy will come back as strong as he was!!! Thank you again PP for the awesome products and always having a awesome educated staff to help me/us when we make those calls!!!

Olympic Silver medalist Gina Miles saw 3 Day Eventing for the first time, at the 1984 Olympics as a young girl.  Today, she trains her horses at a farm in Atascadero, CA, on the very same fences she watched those Olympians fly over in Los Angeles 25 years ago.
