Study 2: |

This
30 years old pony has suffered from a mysterious skin condition
for the last 11 years. Despite intensive veterinary help, including
blood samples, tissue biopsies, hair and horn examinations the condition
has been diagnosed as atopy of unknown origin. His coat was dry
and pale in colour and sparse with areas around the head. |
|
The skin over his neck and trunk was thickened and corrugated with
raised papules and lumps. His tail growth was very poor, leaving
him with little to swat the summer flies. For the last four years
his coat would shed in the early Spring, with little re-growth leaving
him nearly bald! |
|
 |
|
 |
He
had been treated with all manner of antibiotic, antifungal and similar
preparations to little effect. His owner had supplemented his diet
with a leading American hoof and skin supplement at the full dose
for years and subsequently a variety of herbal preparations, again,
none of which provided any significant improvement. The pictures
above were taken while he was receiving the supplements. |
|
Since receiving
Formula4
Feet his coat has shown a dramatic change. The colour has altered
from being a dry light colour to a much richer chestnut colour.
He has grown 12 inches of tail hair and his hair loss and papule
development on his neck and trunk are much improved, though not
yet perfect. The skin is no longer thickened and corrugated. AND
this is the first Spring he hasn't been left bald when he changed
his coat. |

|
Additionally,
his farrier has remarked how much stronger his hoof horn is for
an elderly pony and that he shows far fewer dark marks and cracks
around his nail holes.
His owner
commented; "Of all the supplements I have tried over the
last 23 years, Formula4
Feet has resulted in the most improvement in my pony's skin, tail
and hooves. I have never seen him looking better."
