I don’t notice a difference but it’s a like a vitamin that the horses lack in grain but need.
Helps with my grouchy fresh mares!
Wonderful magnesium supplement
This is a great magnesium supplement for horses. It is easily absorbed and really helps to alleviate tense muscles and calm overreactive horses who have been deficient in this mineral. I had to introduce this supplement very gradually to my mare as she does not seem to like the taste (and to be fair, it does kind of smell unappetizing), but she has become accustomed to it over time and now eats it without a fuss.
Shipping was really fast! Have only been feeding the supplement for about a week so I don't expect drastic improvement but a spook yesterday was significantly less "atomic" than last week and we resumed work immediately. Will see if it's a trend. If so, 5 stars!!
Quality product.
Palatable and pleasant smelling. Portly pony hasn't been on it for very long so I cannot offer information on the effectiveness. So far things look good.
We started feeding this to two of horses 30 days ago and have found a noticable difference in there nervousness. This has been a great addition to our feet program.

A vet suggested giving magnesium to an ex race horse I have that can't seem to remember anything. He will spook at the same jump time after time like he's never seen it before. He also had trouble doing clean changes. After the Mg, he seems much more mindful of things he has seen before...but the most amazing thing is he now has automatic clean changes.

My horses like it. They take it easily, but they are not finicky eaters.
I started my gelding on this a few weeks ago because he was so spooky and had a hard time focusing. Within a day or 2 I started to see it working. I'll definitely be keeping him on this!
One of my larger horses likes to act up and cause small problems when being trained . since I put him on magnisium 5000 he is much happier and does his job the way we wnat him to.

We give this daily with morning feed to both of our horses. Generally feeds and hay do not contain adequate levels of magnesium. After confirming not a training issue, a friend recommended magnesium supplement to help our horses' nervous and distracted behaviors which can be symptoms of magnesium defiancy. Both horses responding well. Healthy coat, temperament and better attitude. Recommend.

My horses love these pellets. Great support for their metabolism and mood.
Great, palatable product in pellets... My horse is picky but he will eat this!

For my EPSM/PSSM Type 1 horse, this product is perfect. Easier to feed than a powder, the pellets provide the high levels of Mg my horse requires without turning him off his feed.

I use this to help calm my horses. It also helps relax tights muscles and help reduce the chance of founder and cresty neck in horses prone to this condition.
Horse eats it up, stopped his muscle twitches within days!
When I brought my new TWH home, I observed he had pretty bad muscle twitching at times, a common sign of magnesium deficiency. I ordered this product after careful research, and I'm extremely happy with it! Within days my horses tremors completely disappeared! And have never returned! He never batted an eye at the taste, ate it right up! I highly recommend this product!
Great product! Have used it for the past 5 years for nervous horses and it really helps.

Fantastic Results
I rcvd a recommendation from my barn owner to put my 12 yo mare on magnesium for her excitability (while being lead in or out, she would canter on the end of the lead rope, not listening while being ridden, not relaxing etc...) Within 2 weeks, I have my mare back. She is calm and relaxed on the ground and under saddle. My mare is picky about different textures (powder vs pellet). She gobbles this right up. I would recommend this supplement to anyone.

Love this supplement
Love this supplement for my OTTBs. Now with any supplement, you have to give it 6 weeks to get into their body and make a change. My chestnut mare OTTB went from a fire cracker off the track, (of coarse with training as well) to a very sweet, willing to work and driven mare. I also have another OTTB big 16.3 gelding that was angry all the time, crabby and I believe body sore. After a few months on magnesium it has turned him around to a willing to work partner.The only thing I do not agree with with Horse.com is when I earn a coupon, like 30% off...Don't just take 3% off my purchase.... Totally not far and may make me shop for this product elsewhere even if I have to pay a bit more because of untrue discounts
Love this product. I use it on all of my high stress horses and have noticed great results.

My Arabian mare needs the extra magnesium, to focus during training, it helps keep her calm at shows and in new places, it also helps to manage her ulcers.

Horses like it
I was told this helps with calming a horse down and allows them to focus better. I think it does help
Palatability: 5
I have been using this product on an older Cushing's horse and also a younger nervous horse with great results on both!! Calmed the nervous horse down considerably. The Cushing's horse developed soft soles but after using MVP magnesium 5000 my farrier noticed his hooves are healthier and he isn't as tender. I love this product and will continue using it!!!!

works great
Had my spooky Arab mare on this for 7 months then thought I would take her off to see if there was a difference in her....wow does she need this product, she lost all focus and became nervous again, afraid of her own shadow....put her right back on it and she is slowly coming back to being a calm horse again.
very pleased
Not only did i get a better price over the company that I usually buy from, there was a complementary package of horse cookies included! I thought that was awesome! Thank you!
Used for muscles
Used for heavy workouts during the summer for one horse (2 scoops daily) and as a natural calmer for another (1 scoop). Seems to help. Horses eat it just fine. I am 1 month into the product.
Works well for Spookiness
Within 2 weeks I saw a huge difference in my generally very spooky OTTB mare. I had tried a few other "calming" supplements, none of which contained a lot of magnesium. This worked well for her.
Palatability: 5
Good product for the money
My Arabian Gelding tends to be a little nervous in new situations. I thought I would try this & was surprised to find it did help him. My husband even noticed he was calmer.
Magnesiun 5000 Vet recommended
My vet recommended my horses have magnesium 5000 on a daily basis as i was having problems with hoof abscess. since I've been using this product i have not had one abscess.My horses like it as a treat. I give it to them when I first arrive at the barn.
Well worth the try
As the owner of a warmblood (shire body and thoroughbred brain)I was looking for a product that would take the edge off of her hypersensitive nature without drugging her. She would work herselfinto a sweat over leaves, birds and sounds, always on guard.This product works beautifully, better focus, comes down from a nervous situation quicker. Product is tidy and easy to dispense, no taste issues.
Palatability: 1
Great product
I have been using this product for over a year now. My horse looks so much better and I have recommended this to many of my freinds. I tried the more expensive fancy stuff, but it didn't work near as well as this does.
Great supplement for my gelding!
I use this both as a calming supplement, and for its beneficial muscle support. I have been very happy with it, and my horse is a picky eater. He has never turned these pellets down, and it helps take the edge off of him!
won't be without it
I had my arab/saddlebred gelding on this supplement and decided he didn't need it. was I wrong!! he can be pretty animated :-)). when I put him back on the maintenance dose, he became my sweet, cooperative boy once again. he will stay on this indefinitely.

Is this used in cushings, I have a 9 yr old min and have read this could help?

BEST ANSWER: I bought the Magnesium 5000. My Arab mare had a swollen hock it was arthritis I was giving her another product and it had Glucosamine in it plus all the other thing to help with joints, she then foundered on her left front, it was from the injury on the right rear hock. They tested her for cushings and was on the edge, I read an artical that a horse with cushings should not take Glucosamine so I started giving her Magnesium 5000. I believe it is helping her, but not sure if it is helping the cushings until I have another blood test this spring. Hope this was helpful.

I would reccomend using it for your mare. I bought it for my two mares that have metabolic syndrome. I'm hoping to prevent cushings. It has worked great for my mares, it helps to support the metabolism and thats exactly what you want for our types of horses. If you get a chance to look online most recommend mag as a dietary need for the horses, some dont get enough anyways. Hope that helped??
I have a 26 year old quarter horse with cushings. He takes medicine, but I also give him magnesium, as it is suppose to help. I only have to give him 1/2 a dose of perigold and his levels are normal. Magnesium also calms horses and keeps things balanced. It is really a good supplement for horses that are worked hard!

Can this be fed once daily?
A shopper
on Dec 14, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I feed it to my older mares, once per day. They handle it just fine. My two competitive horses get theirs broken up with two feedings since they get grain twice a day.

I fed it to my show mare 1x a day. Seemed to still work just fine.
