Dear Springtime,

I am writing to tell you how pleased I've been with your products. We have 6 horses and 4 dogs, and all of them are on Springtime supplements. Our horses are on Gamma, Bug Off Garlic, occasionally Bee Pollen and Spirulina Wafers, and I've recently started them on J-Flex Concentrate. We've seen significant improvement and dappling in their coats.

Doc, our 10 year old Percheron gelding, has a coat that is so glossy and dappled. He looks wonderful in his natural coat, even without spray on shine products. He really doesn't need anything but a bath to show his vibrant coat. Doc's coat looks wonderful on Gamma.

Recently, the night before a draft horse show, I spent forever washing him and Rock, our other 18 year old Draft horse. That's a lot of acreage per horse, at 18'2 and over 2,000 pounds. Of course, the next morning, Doc and Rock looked like they had rolled in dirt and a manure pile. We didn't have enough time to do more than squirt the worst of it off with a hose. But their underlying coats were so vibrant that just a thorough grooming made them show ring ready. My husband Mike was really impressed with the quality of their coats this year on your products.

Fly control is crucial for Doc, because he came to us with a docked tail. He has no fly swatter in summer! We know the Bug Off Garlic works, because when we ran out all the horses had flies, whereas before there would only be one or two that would alight and then immediately fly off.
