I have been an Equine Products, Inc. customer for the last six years and have used many of their products over this time frame. I have consistently used Nutri-Plus and Mike's Original Bleeding Powder. Nutri-Plus is the most complete multiple vitamin/mineral supplement on the market in that my horses red blood cell and hemoglobin counts have been consistently held high over the extended racing seasons. I have found Mike's Original Bleeding Powder to help cure the root cause of this critical problem. It works to help strengthen the capillary walls through its unique combination of bioflavonoids (rutin) and vitamins to reduce the incidence of exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage.

I have worked with Equine Products, Inc. since the early 1980s. During this time I have used many of their products and found them beneficial to my horses overall health and performance. They consistently provide quality horse healthcare products. During the 1997 racing season I specifically found effective their strongest strength DMG product, Nutri-Plus, Tighten-Down Leg Paint, Nutri-Lytes and Carbo-Fuel. My horse, Val's Prince, completed a highly successful racing season with earnings exceeding $1,200,000 by winning the Hong Kong Jockey Club Cup. We were the first American trainer and horse to win this prestigious race.

My involvement in this family business started in my early teen years; working from groom through every aspect of the horse business to company president today. It has been said that, first hand experience is your best teacher. Equine Products Inc. (EPI) was founded out of this premise in 1981 by my father, Michael Procino, an owner and breeder of Standardbred horses in the Greater New York/New Jersey area. In 1968, my brother, Jerry Procino, opened a Public Racing Stable in New York and is currently training Thoroughbreds on the Florida racing circuit. For the past five years, the United States Dressage Federation has awarded my half-Arabian gelding, Que Sera, the all breeds award in 2nd, 3rd and 4th level dressage. As a successful dressage trainer and competitor, I use many products, including, Nutri-Plus, Nutri- Lytes, Egyptian Oil, and most of the herbs and homeopathic products from Equine Products, Inc. to keep my equine athletes in top condition, increase longevity and peak performance.

As an alternative practitioner specializing in physical therapy and massage for equine athletes, I have found that there is nothing on the market today like Egyptian Oil. I have used this product for over 10 years, for not only loosening up tight and sore muscles, but found it a great aid in keeping the flexibility in knee and hock joints. When used before riding or competition, it helps prepare your horse for a better performance. Over the years I have used most of Equine Products Inc. preparations and have found them to be very beneficial in the care and well-being of my client?s horses.

"The potassium (in Equine Products, Inc. Cherry-Flavored Nutri-Lytes Electrolytes) is higher relative to other ingredients than that found in most horse's sweat, and calcium is much higher than in sweat. But this may be a plus if the product is used during exercise with horses who tend to show calcium-related problems such as tying-up or thumps." "Sodium and Chloride are present in appropriate ratios but overall amounts are low because of the high-dextrose. Dextrose is higher than needed for enhanced absorption (would prefer more sodium chloride added) but this does make the product palatable. Good choice for racehorses receiving Lasix." Equine Products, Inc. is pleased to introduce a new, improved formula for Nutri-Lytes based on Horse Journal's recommendations!

Catchy Tune was not eating well and stayed in the back of the stall sulking most of the day. After she lost six races in a row, I sent her to the farm for a break. When she came back to the track, she was still the same, no energy and not eating too well. Someone told me about Re-Borne so I tried it on Catchy Tune. In one month, her energy was high, she was eating and her training has improved! I entered her in a race of the same class she was beaten previously and she win and paid $37.80 to win! This is a very good supplement that I am using and will continue to use on all my horses now!
