Despite discipline or experience level, any horse person can attest that buying a young horse is a gamble. Between still developing limbs, lots of energy in a small body, and birth defects that may not be recognized until later on in the development process, there are a number of things that can go wrong. This concern rings true for any young foal, but can be especially costly when the bloodline of the foal produces high expectations. Such was the case for Ann Evans’ weanling Big Hot Shot Whiskey, otherwise known as Otis. Otis came from the top bloodlines of AQHA NRHA stallion Whizkey On The Rocks and appeared to be destined for the same bright future.
Soon after arriving at his new home however, Evans could tell that something wasn’t right. Noticing a distinct lameness in the stifle area, she consulted veterinary help for an answer, but it was not one she was hoping to hear. After thorough x-rays, Otis appeared to have a developmental issue that would not resolve on its own. Then, Evans turned to BoneKare.
“After having Otis on BoneKare for a few weeks he was sound again,” she explained. “His joints were developing properly again and he was able to go back to being a healthy, active youngster.”
The product proved to be the secret sauce for the young superstar who has recently started his career as a ranch horse in breed shows and ARHA shows at three years old. His health was enough proof for Evans who maintains him on the product and has immediately put their new yearling colt on the regimen as well.
“We are a big believer in BoneKare and have recommended it to several of our friends,” Evans added. “We are so glad to have found such a wonderful product that actually does what it says it will.”
