Chance's Story

Rosie Kimberlin contacted us after hearing Patty speak on the Cary Nosler radio show, WIDE WORLD OF HEALTH.  She called Patty and soon began giving her rescue horse, Chance, RicePatty Equine SuperFlex, a stabilized rice bran supplement for equine joint health that Patty created for her own horses. 

Chance just started his 3rd month on the product.  The top photo shows Chance's presentation BEFORE beginning SuperFlex.

"Chance is a 25 year old Quarter horse. He raced a bit, worked in stockyards, and was rented to movie studios until he injured his rear leg. His original owners were horsetraders and did not want to invest in the time, effort and expense of rehabing him. I bought him and spent 3 years healing his rear leg. I adopted him out to a supposed great home where he was only to be ridden lightly. He was not lightly ridden, he was used in ways he shouldn't have been and his left front leg was injured. His knee was twice the size of his right knee. He was walking on the outside of his hoof The only way to describe it is that his leg looks like a curved crab leg. My vet says it is the worst case he has ever seen."

"His knee is calcified and extremely arthritic.  He can't bend it and sometimes pieces of calcified deposits break off causing him to be more lame than ever. He is on anti-inflammatory drugs to try to keep him comfortable. About 5 months ago he developed an abcess in the hoof of his bad leg. It wouldn't come out the bottom but finally burst out at the coronary band. Not the ideal place. Soaking and using drawing agents were used daily and it drained and drained. He was down more than he was up. It wouldn't heal because he walked on the side of his hoof constanty bruising it. This was all occurring during the rainy season and it was difficult to keep his hoof clean and dry, yet alone getting him to lift his hoof to treat it.

"I heard Patty McPeak on Carey Nosler's radio show and she was talking about using her product SuperFlex on SubZero a race horse in Australia with similar problems. I contacted Ms. McPeak and told her about Chance. She thought her Equine SUPERFLEX product would help.

"After two months of using double the maintenance dose on Chance he is a different horse. He was so depressed and was down so much before. Now he is perky, he has brightness in his eyes, he is much more active and I swear his leg is just a bit straighter. Patty calls him "Second Chance" and I think that suits him fine. I truly believe in the next two months his leg will be visibly straighter. I am truly grateful for this wonderful product that has awakened the spirit in this wonderful creature." _Rosie Kimberlin
