Nutrition is the basis. You have to have the right nutrition to maximize your horses performance. Core Balance has very high standards in their ingredients and the levels are properly balanced.
Justin Ritthaler, DVM

It’s a proven fact that nutrition is a very important factor in the performance horse. The science is there now. When competing, I believe Core Balance has helped my horses start strong and finish strong.

Core Balance is a vital component of many customer/trainer programs that have utilized Parker County Equine Aquatred for rehabilitation, returning the equine athletes to the performance arena, and conditioning services, keeping them performing.
Chuck Drake, Parker County Equine Aquatred Manager

Performance horses have to have the proper nutrition to reach their full potential of their natural ability.
Jeffery Foland, DVM

Over the years, I’ve been approached by several different equine supplement companies wanting me to endorse their products. The Core Balance product line was the first one I’ve used that I could actually see and feel a difference in my horses. That’s why I feed my horses Core Balance.
Matt Gaines, Cutting Horse Trainer with winnings over $7 million

I have been using the Core Balance products on the good mare, One Time Choice, the 2013 NCHA Open World Champion. Because of Core Balance, she has experienced minimum soreness problems and stays in peak condition better than any horse I have ever ridden.
Chubby Turner, Cutting Horse Trainer with 3 NCHA Open World Championships and winnings over $2 million

There are a lot of nutritional products available out there and many of them are inexpensive. Proper nutrition is expensive. You need to go with a reputable company like Core Balance. With Core Balance products, you can actually see the difference in the horse.
Bruce Hebbert, DVM

Core Balance products are the best supplements available. They keep my horses energy level up and recovery time short. I need them to give their best and Core Balance helps them do just that.
Paul Hansma, Cutting Horse Trainer with over winnings $5 million

Having used Core Balance products for almost two years now, I find that the horses look better, feel better and recuperate faster from day-to-day training.
Jay McLaughlin, 12 Open World Championships and winnings over $1 million

After feeding the Core Balance products for years, there is no doubt that my horses have an edge in appearance, soundness and stamina. Core Balance will continue to be an intricate part of our program.
Tim Smith, Cutting Horse Trainer with winnings over $5 million

I know how important nutrition is to the equine athlete. I have noticed that horses on Core Balance have less injuries, they respond quicker to my therapies, and generally feel better at the end of a show than they did at the start.
Kendra King, A Step Ahead Performance Horse Therapy & Rehabilitation

Since switching our barn to Core Balance, we have seen nothing but positive results. Our horses have never looked, felt or performed better! We recommend the entire line of Core Balance products to anyone looking to gain championship results.

For all the miles we have hauled our horses,their condition, endurance and soundness has been excellent. Many of them were being shown twice a day, many days in a row, and they look and feel fabulous. Thank you, Core Balance.

From the foal to my best show horses, Core Balance gives me the peace of mind I have given my horses the most complete supplement on the market.
Tim Smith, Cutting Horse Trainer with winnings over $5 million

Over the years I have used several supplements to enhance the nutrition and performance of our cow horses and cutters. They are bright and working great without being hot. Their coats are slick and shiny. The overall change in their appearance and energy is very evident. Core Balance has made me a customer for life. If you want to get the most out of your horses, feed Core Balance.
Terry Ratto, NRCHA Hall of Merit

Well, it’s been a little over two weeks since I last chatted with you while we were at Paso and when asked how we like the Core Balance products, I shared with you that I hadn’t truly noticed a difference. I could tell by the look on your face that you were baffled by my reply .... and understandably so. When a person puts their heart and soul into something and truly believes that what they are doing is right ... well, from personal experience .... it is so disheartening when others don’t feel the same. It is obvious that the Core Balance products are your "baby!!!" You suggested that I wait until I finish the tub we had before I make a firm opinion. Well, I need to tell you that finishing the tub will not be necessary. The change in Catlight in the last two weeks is amazing!!! He didn’t show well in Paso ... but that was due to bad draw and bad cows. There were a couple of moves that he made that were impressive ... but the style of work he displayed was inconsistent. One move he was diving into the cow, the next move he was deep and level. It wasn’t until the following weekend, while we were in Brawley, that we were able to truly see the changes. While Harry and I were viewing photos in Ted’s trailer, we went through all of the shows we had been to so far during the year .... AzCHA and SDCHA. Nearly every single pic of Catlight stopping hard and into the cow showed that he was way down in the front end. This has been a style that has been pretty consistent since the we first bought him....strong, hard stopping, with a big move (but usually lower in the front end). Mind you, not every stop is like that, but the huge majority have been. It wasn’t until we went through the photos that Ted had taken during the SDCHA show held 3/17 - 3/20 that we were able to see a consistent change in style. The photos showed Catlight, time and again, dropping deep in the ground and level. Comments from several of the trainers during the course of the weekend were positive as well .... Jason Taylor said, "I don’t think I’ve ever seen Catlight look so good." (Harry jokingly told Jason that Luke (Catlight) had finally realized that the rock grinders weren’t coming off.) This last weekend at Brawley was probably the best show of this year .... and granted, there are a lot of factors that come into play in our sport .... but it is so much easier to get the marks needed from the judges when your horse presents itself with style along with it’s strength and capability. So with all that I’ve shared with you, I am sure that you realize that we will be keeping our horses on the Core Balance products.

For any horse in a training barn that wants a good baseline, all-around supplement, it would be the Core Balance Training Formula. It has a good joint protectant with the rest of the proper vitamins and minerals.
Justin Ritthaler, DVM

Core Balance Training Formula gives the horses the building blocks to repair.
Hayden Upton, Cutting Horse Trainer

In performance horses, nutrition is critical. It’s very important to have the proper nutrients in the horse’s diet so when he needs them, he gets them. The Training Formula does a really good job of doing that.
Bruce Hebbert, DVM

Core Balance has made a noticeable difference in my barn with muscle recovery. I was pulled toward Core Balance because of the superior quality of ingredients and the lower cost difference. My show horse, Cat Diesel, was having problems with the stress of showing and hauling. Keeping weight on him was impossible, but with Core Builder, in a matter of 30 days, he put on weight and has maintained it ever since! I am a proud and convinced user of Core Balance products.
Adan Banuelos, Cutting Horse Trainer

After using all of the Core Balance products for three years now, I have no doubt that the product works. My horses are sounder than ever and I know when I ask them for their best, they are ready to perform.
Gary Gonsalves, Cutting Horse Trainer with winnings over $3 million

Since starting my horses on all the Core Balance products, I’ve been very pleased with their looks and performance. The Training Formula has improved their overall condition, and I am especially impressed with the results I am getting with Core Builder, which I feed to those horses that need extra weight or muscle. The Core Motion has helped several of my horses with their joint issues and I can see and feel a noticeable difference.
Austin Shepard, Cutting Horse Trainer with winnings over $5 million

We’ve been feeding Core Balance products since November 2010 and our horses have never looked or felt better. Along with the Training Formula, we use Core Motion and Core Builder. The difference Core Builder made in 30 days time with our 3 year old is amazing! He bulked up and is so much stronger. We highly recommend Core Balance to anyone looking to give their horses the best.
Stephanie Haymes Roven, 2008 NCHA World Champion Non Pro

My six year old gelding was diagnosed with cartilage damage in his stifle and as a result of the damage, the cartilage left in the stifle was minimal. I was told that if I kept showing him, that pretty soon he would be bone on bone and in pain for the rest of his life. Of course I didn’t want that, I just wanted him to be as comfortable as possible so he could live a long healthy life and enjoy his retirement. I stopped showing him with the knowledge that I would probably never get to show him again, but that was fine as long as he was pain free. I started him on Adequan and Core Balance Training Formula and Core Motion and in four months the cartilage in his stifle doubled! Last Friday I got the vets approval to start showing him again. In two weeks I will show him in Paso Robles, which will be his last aged event show. I never thought I’d be able to show him again. Thank you Core Balance for giving me this great opportunity!
Kelsey Weeks

I have used both Core Balance and Core Builder with my young horses in training. This is an amazing supplement! In a lifetime spent with horses, I have never seen anything else make such a dramatic improvement in a horse’s body condition in such a short period of time.
Dennis Taylor

Core Builder is one of my favorite products. You can put a thin, not thriving horse on the Builder and see a pretty dramatic change in a month to six weeks without changing anything else.
Jeffrey Foland, DVM

We find Core Builder to be a valuable supplement both for horses rehabilitating athletic injuries and busy, upper level performance horses.
Dr. Russ Peterson, DVM

With Core Builder, you can get results in thirty to sixty days.

Since I’ve been feeding my horses Core Builder, I have seen nothing but positive results. They have bulked up considerably and have gotten much stronger in their workouts. The product has also produced multiple wins and placings. Overall, the horses have never looked or felt better in their years of racing, and stamina and recovery time is astounding! I recommend Core Builder for any trainer looking for a natural, winning edge!

In an industry where early maturity is imperative, I use Core Builder to enhance the strength and physical development of these young athletes.
Hayden Upton, Cutting Horse Trainer

My 3 year old gelding contracted strep myositis and quickly lost 400 pounds as a result of it. Three days after we brought him home from the vet, we started him on Core Builder. Thirty days later he had gained over 200 pounds! The weight gain was very impressive, and we were very pleased with the dappled, healthy hair-coat that came with it! His continued success on Core Builder enabled us to get him back in training a lot quicker!

Whether it’s in the hospital setting or in the arena, Core Calmer is an effective supplement to alleviate anxiety and get your horse in the right frame of mind. As an equine surgeon, Core Calmer has become an essential part of my arsenal by taking the edge off of horses that have sustained orthopedic injuries and require long-term stall confinement.
Dr. John Janicek Brazos Valley Equine Hospital Salado, Texas

I have used Core Calmer quite a bit with a lot of horses. It has a subtleness that a horse can handle the added pressure I put them under while competing when they are on Core Calmer.
Paul Hansma, Cutting Horse Trainer with winnings over $5 million

The importance of nutrition in a pregnant mare is very important. The Developmental Formula enables them to get the trace minerals and micro-nutrients in order for that foal to develop in utero and after it’s born.
Jeffrey Foland, DVM

One of the big issues as an equine practitioner is developmental orthopaedic disease in foals. It is multifactorial. The first thing is genetics, then biomechanical stress or traumatic injury, and then there is nutrition. As a veterinarian, nutrition in the broodmare is the one thing I can control. It’s really important to have something like the Developmental Formula to feed them.
Bruce Hebert, DVM

The pregnant mare’s nutrition is just as, if not more, important because they are building a baby inside of them.
Justin Ritthaler, DVM

Since we incorporated Core Balance’s Developmental product in our breeding program, we have seen significant improvements to our foals and the overall health of our breeding mares.
Casey Connally, RCJ Cutting Horses LLC Assistant Manager

We have been feeding Core Balance Developmental Formula to all of our weanlings, broodmares and recipient mares since July of 2013. The difference in our babies is stunning. They are bigger, have improved bone mass and their hair coats are shiny and healthy looking. Plus, all yearlings radiographed clean except one with a very insignificant OCD in her ankle. Since our donor mares and recipient mares have been on the Developmental Formula throughout their breeding season and gestation, we feel 100% confident that our 2015 foal crop will be even better that our 2014’s. We are huge believers in the broad ranging benefits of supplementing our breeding and performance stock with Core Balance. You have a customer for life at the Circle Y Ranch.
Nancy Pearce & Penny Youngblood, Circle Y Ranch, Milsap, Texas

Preventative maintenance in today's equine athlete is imperative. Core Motion is a great way to support joint health on a daily basis.
