Dear Good People of Basic,

We have a 17 yr old Trakehner Cross whom had fractured his coffin bone last July while eventing. After an extended stall rest period and specialty shoeing, we started him back to work. Not knowing how well he would recover we tried other supplements with no results. Then about a month ago, we put him on Regenerex. To our surprise his lameness issue is no longer an issue. He is happier, healthier and sounder then he has ever been. My daughter and I thank you for developing a product that works. All the others on the market can't compare to Regenerex, we are now customers for life!

PS....Thanks to Canter by Tack in Bolton Ontario for carrying this product, Andrea the owner, recommended Regenerex and we are forever grateful.

Twister and CALMINEX

Twister is a young Quarter Horse descendent of Major Bonanza. He loves to play by propelling his 1300 pounds into the air but one day he played a little too rough and hurt himself badly. The diagnosis was severe twisting of the ligaments and a bone chip fragment.
In August 2007 Twister had an arthroscopy and they removed the bone chip fragment.

After the surgery he had to be kept in his box nice and quiet while he recovered. It was extremely difficult to keep him quiet in his stall and after only 2 weeks of stall rest the stable owners decided to turn him out to pasture since he looked so miserable. What a mistake! Twister ended up re-injuring himself which required yet another surgery. The success rate of the 2nd surgery was estimated at 10 to 20%. The diagnosis from the vet was even worse. I was told that my horse would never be sound again and would not have a very good quality of life. I asked the vet if he was proposing euthanasia and indeed he was.

I love my horse so I decided to try the 2nd surgery. In October 2007 Twister underwent an arthroscopy wash. After the surgery and with the help of some strong medication Twister was able to walk but was limping a bit

I started searching tack shops and the internet for a product that would help in the healing of his injury and that is when I found the Basic Equine Nutrition products.
I put Twister on BIOMAX HA for his joint injury and it works really well.

In order to keep him quiet in his stall I had to inject him with a tranquilizer. I had already tried several calming products on the market but they did not work on Twister.

I called the Quebec representatives for Basic Equine Nutrition and explained my situation to Sally.
Sally told me “I recommend you use our new product CALMINEX to keep your horse calm in the stall. You will see it really works.”

After two days of giving CALMINEX I saw the difference. My horse is quiet and doesn’t even bother when he sees the other horses being turned out. He is focused on his ground work and does not get excited.

After five months of convalescence Twister no longer limps and is progressing normally in his rehabilitation.

Thanks Sally and Sylvain for all your help.

Hope all is well. I just had to write you a quick
email to tell you another Chondroflex success story:

My 10 year old English Springer Spaniel has had 2 hip
dysplasia surgeries, and she had really begun in the
last few months to act and feel "old". She never got
off the couch, hardly ate and could barely hold
herself up without her feet sliding out from under
her.

I pulled out the tub of Chondroflex and gave her 1/4
tspn am and pm and within 1 week there was a
noticeable improvement. We are on the 3rd week now
and she acts like a puppy again - jumping and playing
with toys, eating all her food and just looking strong
and happy. That stuff is amazing!!!! Needless to
say, I'm putting some in my morning Orange Juice :-)



Let us know what you think, and again thank you so
much for the Chondroflex - it's a miracle worker!

Cheers,
Cindy

I've been using Recoverex on my Grand Prix horses for a year and a half, and it has made a world of difference in the way they go. My mare Cassandra was starting to stiffen up 2 years ago, yet the vet could find nothing wrong with her. We tried a couple of different products but they did not work. Being that she competes under FEI rules, she can have no traditional medications. Then I came across Recoverex and within 3 weeks of starting her on it she really loosened up. She was competing at the Spruce Meadows summer competitions, and by the end of the circuit when the Recoverex had kicked in, she was in the money on multiple occasions in the International Ring. She went on the be on the winning Nations Cup team in Wellington, Florida, and stayed sound and loose, and jumped beautifully. Recoverex has made her feel fantastic which is a key component to success in the Grand Prix ring.

My first experience with Basic Equine Nutrition products was six years ago when I was looking for a product with a high level of Glucosamine and MSM for my brood mare Sugar Jet Spice that had navicular. I put her on REGENEREX and the product worked so well I was able to keep her sound to produce three more foals. When our barrel racing horse Jet Tuff N Stop started having problems with his hocks we put him on CHRONDOFLEX and within 2 weeks his joints were so much better that he was bucking at the end of the lounge line. He was once again able to sit on his haunches and turn those barrels like he did before. My team penning mare Dry Day, always had a problem with runny eyes until I put her on BEE POLLEN. That has solved the problem and along with ECHINACEA helps her with her respiratory problems. Dry Day is 18 yrs old and still team penning like a champion and winning me the dollars in competition. We also use CARBO-FORCE and ENERGEX for the penning horses along with REGENEREX to keep them sound. When Basic Equine Nutrition was looking for a representative in the East in 2003 for their products I was more than happy to apply for the position knowing that I would be representing quality products that deliver the results. I had been telling my friends about these great products and wanted to give them the opportunity of purchasing these products at their local tack shops.

Thanks to Basic Equine Nutrition’s products we have healthy happy horses that are well prepared to compete and win for us.

“We just want to thank-you for your excellent product & service. We had a 15 year old barrel horse that has had a slight lameness that we have been unable to track down for almost a year now. Since starting the horse on RECOVEREX a month ago the problem has disappeared completely! We recently completed a 1200-mile trip where the horse raced in competition for 8 straight days. He stayed sound, showed no sign of soreness, and in fact we placed better than ever before!

“I wanted to thank your company for your awesome equine supplements. Earlier this spring, one of our horses showed signs of lameness in the front. The vet examined him and determined he was suffering from pain in his fetlock. The problem most likely stemmed from icy conditions, resulting in a slip and stress to the joint. We kept an eye on him for a few weeks, but he did not appear to be improving. Then a friend of ours advised us about RECOVEREX and REGENEREX. I placed my order, received it within three days, and got him started on it immediately. Two days after that, he was visibly no longer short striding. Within five days, he appeared to be his normal self. One month later, we continue to use the REGENEREX and plan on staying with it. Its use, combined with the RECOVEREX, obviously got him through a rough spot.”

Thank you once again for making this available!

Custom Blending and Formulation

This is a company that makes supplementing easy. All I have to do is phone and let Basic know what supplements I feed or what I want to gain from supplementing and they can even formulate a blend with the right stuff and in the correct ratio’s that works for me. Then all I have to do is feed out of one daily feed program bucket and one pre race bucket. Just phone Basic Equine Nutrition and they will make supplementing easy for you too.
