Feeding powdered coconut oil for white line disease and coat condition in horses
I am a BELIEVER! All my barrel horses have always been plagued wi th white-line. I have had Junior for 9 years and its always been difficult to keep rear shoes on him because of the white-line and I have tried LOADS of products for it. I have been using Power Stance for about 4 months, and today my farrier called to ask what I have been doing. He said all my horses feet (even Juniors) look extremely healthy. And no sign of white-line anymore. He said because of the recent weather conditions, all his other clients feet are full of it. All are also sporting nice shiny coats, looking and feeling good! Thank you Fauna and Power Stance!

CoolStance copra for welsh ponies
We are a very small Welsh Sect. A stud in Lincs. I was I was looking for something I could feed to such a variety of ages of ponies, (from foals to 33year olds!) Also a couple prone to Laminitis. The Feed Specialist at our local store recommened CoolStance Copra. Not very convinced it was all she said. I tried it - that was nearly 3 years ago - and I am still feeding it and recommending it to aother people. I as I say, I have such a variety of ages - Foals, yearlings, brood mares and 2 Golden oldies - a mare 33 and a gelding 20.
They all thrive on the CoolStance copra -most imortantly I have noticed if the amount of milk, the mares make.
I recently sold a 3/4 bred Spanish colt, the lady who bought him was so impressed she wanted to use CoolStance Copra - and had to get it from miles away, from her.
So I would recommend Coolstance Copra ro anyone who has a real mixture of ponies/horses - it is so easy to mix and I just adjust the ratio of feed to suit.
By the way even the dog likes it!!!

Powdered coconut oil for lameness in horses
I have 2 huge success stories to share with you about PowerStance. First, my 12 year old AQHA barrel horse Chester, foundered about a year and a half ago, during the course of the founder, he abcessed many times, but the last time he abcessed, it started tracking towards the bone and created a massive infection. I was told that if it continued on its path, surgery would be the only way to save him and that would require removing a quarter of his foot. Not only did he have the infection, but he had not been sound in over a year, would hardly move and every step was painful. The vets were at a loss on what to do, they could not figure out any way to make him comfortable. I began using PowerStance the beginning of October of 2009 and within 10 days of starting it, he was more alert, moving around a lot more and was not quite as lame. After a month, he was 100% sound at the walk and almost that at the trot. Today, in January of 2010, he is 100% sound and being legged back up to start running barrels again, the vets cannot find any sign that the infection was even there, only way we know it was is the x-rays from several months back showing it WAS there. The vets can't understand how he miraculously started doing better, but I know it was the PowerStance. Aside from being sound, he looks and feel great and is back to my old horse again, I am looking forward to rodeoing on him again!
My 2nd success story is with my 14 year old AQHA gelding, Dinero, who is also a barrel horse. Dinero has always been a hard-keeper, I could pour feed to him and he would still stay thin, not have a shine to his coat. I began feeding PowerStance to him to try and help keep his weight up and to help with his appearance, I ended up getting MUCH more. Today, Dinero looks and feel AWESOME, he has better stamina then he ever has and runs harder then ever. He is currently winning or placing at every run I take him to and getting faster at eveyr one. He does not get winded as easily and recovers much quicker now. I believe PowerStance has helped in mine and Dinero's recent success and I feel we will only continue to get better.
I have 8 horses and now every single one of them gets PowerStance everyday, I am a true believer in this product and now recommend it to everyone.

CoolStance copra for healthy arabs
Rhonda Davis (River Valley Arabians, AZ, USA) "I had been on a premium low starch diet for over 3 years and began to notice how important the NSF contents of different feeds are. I was fortunate to find CoolStance and thought it was an unusual product being that it was coconut. I suggested it for a friend of min e for her laminitic mare and bought a bag for myself to see how the horses liked it. They immediately accepted the new addition in their food.
Once I heard how remarkably my friend's mare was doing on the feed, I decided to compare the NSF of CoolStance to the other food product I was using. I decided right then and there to switch feeds altogether from the cup I was adding to their diet to approximately 2 pounds and eliminating the other food.
I love to research and I read on the internet that university studies are currently recommending low starch diets to prevent and eliminate diseases. I also learned that coconut is one of the "perfect" and healthiest foods for humans and thought it would have to be the same for horses too. The more I learned about CoolStance I realized it was not just for horses with Cushings Disease or laminitic horses, but would be excellent for prevention of all the 5 man-made equine diseases such as ulcers, tying up, laminitis, colic and founder.
Coconut is very alkalizing; thus neutralizes the acid that is built up in the horse. The traditional grain products such as the starch in sweet feed, corn oats and barley are very acidic forming and it is the acid that causes disease. Disease cannot live in an alkaline inner terrain and can only live in an acidic environment. I realized this product is amazingly healthy for horses!
My yearlings and weanlings will be healthier and not be encouraged to develop epithisytis and OCD as they would be on high starch diets. They will be able to fatten up and prepare for the sales barn without the fear of surgery facing them in the future.
Also, I live in Arizona with high temperatures during the summers and found this feed to be completely safe for the horses, where normally I would have stopped feeding gr ain for those few months. Not only did I go through the hot summer with less fear of foundering them by using this feed, at the end of the summer, their coats were incredibly shiny. Many people said it was like looking in a mirror and of course wanted to know what I was using. I have told many people about your amazing product!
A bonus in using CoolStance is that the feed never developed those pesty little mealy bugs, and that saves me so much work in not having to clean out the feed room twice during our hot summer.
I ask these questions to my fellow horse friends:
- Why wait till horses are overloaded with acid and showing disease before you put them on a healthy diet?
- Why let your horse suffer from any of the diseases that grain based diets create?
- Why pay the vet bills from the disease created from the high starch diets?
I love this product and wish to thank you for creating such a wonderful healthy product line that will help protect horses from so many diseases in their lifetime. I hope people use it as a preventative and as a substitute for the traditional heavy grain diets early in a horse's lifetime
