"Competing and trying to gain an edge on the National Show circuit has always been something I strive for. With Platinum Performance, my horses have greatly improved both mentally and physically. I feel I have the edge I've been looking for, the results are in the win pictures."
Quite the Reflection
 QUITE the REFLECTION,"Dollar", started off his training career with Ron Ralls in Buellton, CA as a 2 year old. Ron had taken the best care of Dollar. Ron had Dollar on Platinum Performance early on as the training increased with the demands of being a Reined Cowhorse. Dollar always performed well and looked wonderful, and I know Platinum Performance was a hugh part of his conditioning. Dollar earned his National Reined Cowhorse Title "Superior Reined Cowhorse" and the 2001 GOLD NRCHA Open Reserve Champion Hackamore horse. After Ron moved to Texas, Dollar was put in training w/ Jake Gorrell in Visalia, CA. Jake continued using Platinum Performance and Dollar ended up being the 2002 NRCHA GOLD Open Bridle CHAMPION and AQHA Best of Americas Horse!! Then in 2003, Jake let his assistant trainer Eric Martin show Dollar in a few shows, where Eric helped Dollar complete the conveted NRCHA Supreme Reined Cow Horse title!! I am so proud of my little mighty Stallion...I owe a gratitude of thanks to Platinum Performance for helping Dollar be at his best through his career. THANK YOU PLATINUM PERFORMANCE!!

 The race is locked: Platinum- The Ultimate Power of Performance. Gaining the edge in competition at the Pro Rodeo level is something I’m always striving for.

Their muscle mass has doubled and their energy level, both physically and mentally is remarkable. My horses could always run with the best, but now they are beating the best.

"Thought I would give you a quick update ... first, we have always had problems getting our horse to eat supplements. However, he actually looks for the Platinum in his grain and eats that first - bonus! We hauled him 18 hours to the Houston, showed and then hauled him back without any issues. This is a marked improvement for him and he has only been on the supplement for 30 days ... it seems to be doing the trick! Attached a photo of the happy horse and kid - he was also the 14-18 reserve all-around youth at the show. Have a great day!"

"The horses we have in training are more comfortable and willing to work. Their muscle tone, and stamina are outstanding, and their coats remarkable. We feel that our horses have a distinctive edge over those whose owners have not yet discovered Platinum Performance."

Flick
 Race Horse
Judy says within weeks of returning from the clinic she noticed that his coat looked thick and shiny. After a year off from racing, Judy also noticed Flick was very unhappy lolling in the pasture. He wanted to race; he needed to race.

"Lugano became calm and more focused when I put him on Platinum Performance. He also started to muscle up in areas he needed to. Monsieur retired due to age and lameness, after 6 months on Platinum Performance at age 16, he returned to showing and received his best scores ever! Both horses were voted ‘Horse of the Year’ in 1998.” back to top

“Platinum Performance has made a phenomenal difference in all of my horses. I have noticed substantially lower heart rates, better recoveries, and an overall improvement in stress recovery. I have also noticed an overall toughness metabolically. Increased stamina has been very apparent. Their feet have tremendous growth and overall health, as well as incredible healthy shine to the hair coat. One of my Arabs in particular has completely recovered from and has had no skin allergies whatsoever. My young three year old has been on Platinum since he was 1 ½ years old, and his size and muscle development is phenomenal. I have also noticed a significant decrease in any leg filling after hard works. Platinum has given my horses the extra edge necessary to go the distance!”

"I just can't say enough about the Platinum Performance Ortho Chon! I have had horses for several years now. I have 3 paint horses and 1 welsh pony. My oldest horse, Duke now around 23 years old, has had intermitent back and hip pain for years now due to his slight swayed back and lack of care before I got him. He has been the best horse any horse person could ask for! He has been on glucosamine and MSM supplements now for at least 3 years, maybe more, but starting around January, his joint pain had gotten so bad that I was not able to ride him or even lead children around on his back. Even using Bute for 4 days (2 grams given twice a day) didn't even help! My veterinarian had been to one of your seminars and she suggested I try a 1.3lb sample of the Ortho Chon. I had nothing to lose at that point so I tried it. I followed the directions and used the whole container and I noticed how much more energetic he had started getting by playing with the other horses again. I decided to try him out for soundness and I was sooo elated when he was totally sound! He is so much happier and healthier! This is the first time in years that I have seen him without any joint pain at all! Since I am 5 months pregnant, my husband will only let me ride Duke and now that he's sound again, I can continue to ride him and get my excercise that I need! I just can't say enough! Thank you so much!"

“Itchy’s not so itchy anymore thanks to Platinum Performance Equine." "Itchy" is allergic to just about everything. He Was on allergy shots for a whole year. His bumps were getting a little better until his owner used the last vile of his allergy medication. Once she ran out of shots, Itchy's bumps got worse, immediately. His owner started Him on Platinum Performance and his Hives were gone within 1 week. "His coat looks better than ever!"
Thank you,

"I am a racehorse and racemule trainer in California. I just wanted to write to you about the huge success your vitamins were to my feed program throughout the California Racing Fairs race meet this summer. I had been using a vitamin mixture from the local feed store. For some reason I wasn't getting the "best" out of my horses and mules. After some discussion with my brother, also the owner of the animals, Loren, we decided that we would go for a change in feed and vitamins. He contacted our ranch veterinarian, Dr. Daniel Sweet, and he recommended your Platinum Performance vitamins. I immediately incorporated the vitamins into my daily feed program. In about one week I noticed a totally different barn of animals. They all seemed much more alert and seemed to be feeling "on top of their game." My horses showed much more stamina and willingness to do what was asked of them. My biggest praise for Platinum Performance is that it helped achieve one of the highest goals I set for my barn. After starting with the vitamins, my three year old mule, "Wilburs Folley," won seven out of her last nine races, including a six-race win streak. She is now the 2001 American Mule Racing Association World Champion Three year old. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the success Platinum Performance helped me achieve." back to top

"Dear Friends at Platinum Peformance,
On the advice of Dr. Doug Herthel, I began to use the Perfomance Minerals in 1998 on 2 cases of OCD in young thoroughbreds that were donated into our program. In one of the horses mineral therapy was used in conjunction with surgery. The second horse had a very poor prognosis and was not a candidate for surgery. The lesion eventually healed and the horse became useful with 18 months of rest and mineral therapy only. These two were named Golden Bear and Rarifield Air, and they were treated and evaluated at Alamo Pintado. Presently I have a 3 year old that arrived as a yearling with severly contracted club feet and pedal oseitis. He has had check ligament surgery and been on mineral therapy for about 2 years and is now successfully in basic training. The success in all three cases, which began with extremly poor prognosis, I credit to the mineral supplement. Bone disorders and fractures seem to be most effected by mineral therapy in my experience. Thank you for your wonderful products."

"My Standardbred gelding (used as a pleasure horse) recovered from EPM 2 years ago. He has never been quite as strong and steady since then but he is OK for light work. After the EPM he became very spooky, even in the barn. While he had been a good trail horse before the EPM, he couldn't walk 20 feet without spooking. We checked out his eyes but could find no problems.
When I put him on Platinum Plus his body condition improved. People said he looked very fit and strong. He also did well on the trail again. I took him off the Platinum Plus for a few months this summer (couldn't afford it) and he went right back to spooking at everything. Now after 2 weeks back on Platinum Plus he is once again becomming steady on the trail. Your product doesn't make any claims about this, but I wanted to let you know. I'm not sure exactly why a supplement would help him in this area, but it seems to be making him a lot less spooky."

"I won a 10 pound bucket of your supplement at the Abi-Khan ride in July. I started to feed it to my 2 distance horses, one is a 20 year old Thoroughbred that I have close to 6000 career miles the other is a Morab 8years old with about 2000 career miles. Both horses have never had any major injuries or lamenesses but I do see an improvement. Both have more pep & endurance. I just wanted to thank you for donating your product to help support the ride. I find this is a great way to try new things. Also thank you for making a great product, you will be hearing from me soon for an order!" back to top

"My horse Shorty just celebrated his 35th birthday, thanks to Platinum Performance! His age and arthritis had progressed to the point that he could not rise on his own. Since taking Platinum Performance he feels and looks better than he has in the last 10 years. Thank you for helping my horse live out his life in comfort!"

"I had contacted you a couple of months ago for advice on the amount of Platinum Performance to feed my coming 2 year old and you had asked for an update.I have an Arabian gelding that has had quite the medical history (born septic, pneumonia, ulcers, colic, Arabian Fading Syndrome and ultimately Wobblers Syndrome and contracted tendons - not to mention that his dam was bred to her own sire in error and that there were numerous times it was suggested that he be put down). After successful surgery (although it was followed by multiple infections and 5 months confinement) he had to regain muscle and strength. Both his regular vet and his surgeon were certain that he would also require surgery for his contracted tendons but due to his past medical history were very reluctant to do it. They suggested exercise and play for 5 months. I forgot to mention that the surgery was performed to fuse 4 vertebrae but 2 others were also slightly effected but could not be addressed at the same time. After a couple of months there was very slight improvement in the contracted tendons and my vet suggested Platinum Performance. I put him on it as directed (one scoop a day for yearlings) for 2 months but when I reordered I asked for a verification of that amount. You suggested 2 scoops a day of which he started about 5 to 6 weeks ago.Well, the 5 months was up last week and I took him back to the surgeon for a checkup. Not only was he amazed at the improvement in the tendons and said surgery is no longer needed but when they did x-rays they were unable to find any indication of a problem with the other 2 vertebrae. He is kicking up and bucking for the first time since at least last June!!!!! He is feeling great and looking good! How much is attributable to your product I have no idea but I know I'm keeping him on it for a long time!! Where I board there is a lady that has a 19 year old with chronic lameness. She has tried everything -x-rays, ultrasound, bute, supplements, farrier ideas, etc. She asked to try my Platinum Performance about 5 to 6 weeks ago and today claimed there is a big improvement for the first time in a long time. Therefore I am ordering again since we are both using the product. Thank you again for input on the amount to feed and request for an update (although I'm sure it's much more information then you bargained for!)." -Jacki Day back to top
