When we met our boy 6 1/2 years ago he was severely abused by previous stable staff, farriers, owners and cowboy trainers trying to break him. He was terrified of humans, became extremely protective of himself and would either flee if he could or when trapped he would come out fighting, trying to stomp to death the potential threat. He would have to be heavily sedated for any doc. appt or shoeing. The only thing that kept him alive was that he was worth a lot of money as a stallion. When he became ours we immediately gelded him, got a gentle non-resistant trainer, found compassionate farriers and doctors... spent lots of time building trust and teaching manners. But he still had PTSD when it came to his feet, he was unpredictable, would rear up, and crow hop with no warning, making it very dangerous and exhausting for everyone involved. Within 1 week of using Fortitude Equine, we went from 3 hrs to 1 hr.... our farrier told us whatever you are doing keep doing it. It has been year now, we are on our third container and his trimmings have been at less than 1/2 hr with no dangerous behavior for several appts. now, just lots of yawns, lip licks and deep signs. We are so thankful to have been given Fortitude Equine by a good friend who knew our struggle, because it was REAL!!!
