What does GUT PROTECTOR do and what is the correct dose and how should it be administered?
GUT PROTECTOR is a dietary supplement that acts to maintain a favorable environment for normal
gastrointestinal function. It aids in causing stresses experienced by equine athletes not to produce what we expect from stress. The
athlete feels better, much better, and demonstrates it by behavior and performance in competitive events. Equine athletes eat better
usually showing increased appetite. Plainly, in no uncertain terms, they act HAPPY and race HAPPY. We always get back to the fact that
HAPPY HORSES WIN RACES…SOUR HORSES DON’T. The same goes for non-racing equine athletes…the dressage horses, trail horses, Tennessee
Walkers, rodeo horses, steeplechasers, and barrel racers…they perform much better when they feel well.
All horses are different but it is safe to say that if you can discern a problem, start dosing at 60cc(2oz.) twice daily. In a severe case
showing marked signs of discomfort or lack of appetite, stall weaving, crib biting, etc., begin at 90cc twice daily. After good
improvement is shown, usually by the end of week 2 and often much sooner, go the maintenance dose of 30cc twice daily.
What results have been achieved by horses fed GUT PROTECTOR?
Horses that were poor eaters soon exhibited voracious appetites. We have heard from owners and trainers that stall weavers and crib biters
were much improved after only a week to ten days on GUT PROTECTOR. Race horses have really turned around in performance. Windsong Legacy
raced on GUT PROTECTOR last year when he won trotting’s Triple Crown. Many other standardbreds not as talented as Windsong Legacy have
shown significant improvement. Mr Rainmaker was a 7 year old pacer racing in $4,000 claiming races… and not doing very well even at that
classification. He was put on GUT PROTECTOR(and BEP) and showed a remarkable turnaround. He has won many races, made a lot of money, and
lowered his race mark from 1:57 down to 1:55.4. We are particularly proud of the many Thoroughbreds who race on GUT PROTECTOR and do so
well on it. Frank Springer did and continues to do well using GUT Protector in his stable. In late fall of 2005, Jaguar City had won 6
races in a row. Leo and Lisa Gabriel faithfully use the product in their stable and their good filly Hail to Humor had one win and
5 seconds in seven starts. Chris Hartman’s barn has been consistently in the money and he is a steady and faithful user of GUT PROTECTOR
in his stable. Bernie Flint who rewcently joined the very exclusive group mof trainers with more than 3,000 career training wins uses
GUT PROTECTOR in his barn. Morris Nicks and Ralph Nicks, both very successful trainers, use GUT PROTECTOR. Finally, we are so proud of
Buff Bradley and the whole Bradley crew who have been using GUT PROTECTOR for their race horses. BRASS HAT, one of the best if not the
best aged Thoroughbred in the USA won the Grade II New Orleans Handicap in December, followed that up by dominating in the Grade
I Donn Handicap ($500,000) at Gulfstream, and just finished a very strong second in the world’s richest race, the Dubai Classic $6 million
dollar race. Just as important to us, Bradley’s filly Ella Belle went and won the Wintergreen Handicap at Turfway. Even more important to
us were the great reports we received from Linda Goorigian (CA) and Matt Jacobsen(KY) who had young horses who were expected not to
survive but who made remarkable turnarounds soon after being put on GUT PROTECTOR. We are proud of this quality product, make sure
everyday that the strictest quality control is observed, and grateful to the loyal customers who administer the product regularly to
their horses.
Can we administer GUT PROTECTOR along with other products?
Yes. There are no contraindications here. If you have your horse on Gastroguard or other quality products which work well on ulcers,
you can still use GUT PROTECTOR in conjunction with these products. Many people who were on these products, some of which are
prohibitively expensive, elected to forego the high priced spread and use only GUT PROTECTOR . Almost everyone who did wrote us
to advise us that they saw improvement in a very short amount of time.
Should we take the horses off GUT PROTECTOR when they seem to be doing well again?
No. When the horses are doing well, you don’t want to stop giving the product and allow the problems to recur. It is wise to lower the
dosage to a maintenance dose of 30cc. twice daily.
What do you think about putting 2 year olds or yearlings on GUT PROTECTOR?
If the two year old is being trained, that is a stress; if the yearling is being broke in preparation to being trained, that too is a
stress. It is advisable to use GUT PROTECTOR in these situations to prevent bad things from happening.
What exactly can BEP do for my horse?
BEP is really multi-purpose. We have noticed that it really helps many horses who show incoordination and probably are EPM suspect.
It smoothes out their gait and they navigate turns much better. We have a strong sense that it acts against the coccidia that invades
the spinal cord and destroys the animal’s balance. Although we cannot make any claims, having done no research, we feel that BEP is
coccidiacidal rather than just being a coccidiastat. BEP also is used by many horseman who have horses that are lazy and not racing up
to their potential. It has turned many of these horses around and they want to race and try much harder to win . In this case, BEP is
administered to effect and should be used close to the time of the competitive event. There is nothing in BEP that could ever produce a
positive test but a lot of things in it that can give very positive results to horses who need a physical/psychological boost.
What dosage of BEP should I keep my horse on?
If used for better coordination, start the horse on 30cc twice daily and keep at that dose for about three weeks. Improvement should
be noted by that time and the dose may be able to be lowered to 30cc once a day. Remember, whether you use BEP or other products, there
is nothing in the product that will repair the spinal column damage already done by the pathogen. If you intend to use the BEP as a
performance enhancer on a lazy very laid back horse (who you know would do better if he tried harder), we advise using from 60cc to 90cc
close to the time of the competitive event. The BEP should be given by dose syringe.
Why do you refer to BEP as ‘the MOTIVATOR’?
We call it the Motivator because horses who have not been trying to win, and haven’t been winning, suddenly feel more aggressive and
competitive. They want to train hard, want to race , and really give everything to win. The also ran of today becomes the unbeatable
athlete of tomorrow.
Do you believe in nebulizing, when, and how effective is the B52 Nebulizer Solution?
I an a firm believer in nebulizing. You don’t need an expensive nebulizer but you have to make sure that you thoroughly disinfect the
part of the nebulizer going over the horse’s nose…before using it on the next horse. If your practices are sloppy, you will spread
infection rather than preventing or minimizing it in the barn. That obviously is counter-productive. I like to nebulize right after
the athlete comes in from jogging, training, or a breeze or work, and as close to the competitive event as possible.
B52 Nebulizer Solution is a very powerful solution and should be used NO MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AT A TIME. B52 Nebulizer Solution is an
ALL NATURAL herbal solution, and there is nothing in it that will produce a positive test. It can safely be used on the same day of
the competition. It cleans out the respiratory passages and breaks up the phlegm and mucous that can interfere with maximum breathing
during competition.
Exactly what is the B52 Respiratory Stimulant and should I be using it on my racehorse?
B52 is probably the strongest most effective respiratory stimulant you can use in racing. It is an ALL NATURAL solution that contains
more than 39 different herbs and eight essential oils. It is expensive and very time consuming to make and therefore is an expensive
product to use. If you are going for reasonably good purses, it is affordable but if you race cheaper claimers for lower purses,
B52 makes little sense. We limit distribution of B52 to customers of GUT PROTECTOR (and/or BEP) because they go so well together.
B52 will not help every horse in the barn and we always advise picking the situations where it will do the most good. It is better on a
come-from-behind horse than a front runner but it has been successful in both types. It will not overcome a lameness problem or racing
a horse with an infection. It also will not succeed in cases where the drive or ride is poor. However, consider that in the first 75
races where it was used, standardbred and thoroughbred, all different classes from $4,000 claimers to invite horses, at over 15 different
tracks, with many different trainers, …it demonstrated a 72% success rate for win/place. That’s something!!!
What is the difference between HEAL SALVE and HEAL SALVE FORTIFIED…how do we know which one to use in our stable?
We are so proud of these two products. Both of them should be indispensable staples in every horse barn, racing and non-racing.
Heal Salve does a great job against scratches, minor abrasions, hopple burns, and minor cuts and bruises. Heal Salve Fortified is much
stronger and works wonders on skin conditions that are very resistant and not amenable to early successful resolution. Horsemen/horsewomen who
have used both products rave about them and we hope that shortly they will be available in tack shops and training centers throughout
the U.S. They are affordable to use and ALWAYS produce a very satisfactory result.
What exactly is the Weight Gainer and how does it compare with other weight gainer products on the market?
Weight Gainer is a high carbohydrate extremely palatable product that greatly increases appetite which results in weight gain. It
improves the environment in the intestinal tract. It contains herbs that are bacteriacidal and often viricidal.In many cases they have
a beneficial effect where ulcers may be present. Because they are made with such high quality ingredients that are chosen for that
purpose, they produce extra energy for animals in competitive events. Weight Gainer is available only in a half-gallon size,
MUST BE SHAKEN WELL BEFORE EVERY USE AND MUST BE KEPT REFRIGERATED, and can safely be used on the day of competition.
