CoolStance copra for healthy arabs

"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 mine 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 grain 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:

1. Why wait till horses are overloaded with acid and showing disease before you put them on a healthy diet?
2. Why let your horse suffer from any of the diseases that grain based diets create?
3. 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
