“ Danny The 18 hand Gentle Giant”

Meet Danny, (aka Diaper Dandy) was born on March 9, 2021 in Lexington KY and he was bred to race. Danny comes from great bloodlines, his sire is Klimt a $500k winner. Danny was bred amazingly for the track but ultimately, he only had one race and earned $167. It was Danny’s first and last race. Danny’s purpose was was another path entirely. I was in the market looking for another horse to add to my lesson program. My friend showed me a picture of a handsome chestnut gelding. Danny may not of won on the track but he sure won my heart. He was the spitting image of one of my favorite race horses, Secretariat. After much research I learned his great grandfather was Secretariat himself! Off to Lexington I went! I handled him and watched them saddle him. Since Danny was at a training facility I was unable to ride him myself. The jockey did amazing with him and Danny rode in a open field like a dream. $1600 later in June of 2024 he was mine.
Immediately I noticed his shoes were loose, so I had the farrier remove them. I also noticed a very small scar on his back left leg and yes I saw it briefly at the facility but paid no mind to it. He wasn’t lame and he looked like he needed some groceries. He wasn’t terribly skinny but he needed an extra 100 pounds. Again these were small things and nothing major. Little did I know Danny would take a huge turn for the worse.
I was feeding Danny a 12% sweet grain and began his training. About 3 months into his training I noticed he wasn’t gaining weight like he should have been, and I also noticed he became very sluggish and lame at times. This wasn’t normal behavior for a 3 year old thoroughbred. He should be thriving. I took him to the vet. They diagnosed him with pedal osteosis. Most thoroughbreds have this. This was a easy fix or so I thought. The vet recommended a hoof supplement and a set of shoes. I called my farrier and gave him the information he needed. We tried to trim him and Danny drug both the farrier and I all across the barnyard. He was obviously in pain and still loosing weight despite plenty of feed, and hay. I took him back to the vet for another evaluation. She did a hoof test to see if he was more lame on one hoof versus another. Her test was conclusive of the following: Pedal osteosis, unsound structure in the left hoof with no growth between the coffin bone and hoof wall his hoof was starting to collapse. Danny’s outcome didn’t look so good. If I couldn’t get this to stop, which the vet said very unlikely, Danny would have to be put down. I was devastated. I saw so many supplements that said they would be able to help, Osteo-Max, 100x, you name it these companies said they could fix it. I tried so many of them. Nothing worked. He continued to decline.
That’s when I reached out to my friend Kim. I had been crying, I didn’t want to have to put this sweet boy to sleep. She introduced me to Thrive feed. I was willing to try one last thing before doomsday hit for Danny. I really thought this was it for my sweet boy. After many prayers and not giving up on him, I decided to try Thrive.
On the first day there was a notable difference. Two weeks later he was able to walk without pain. A month later he stood quietly for the farrier and got a front set of shoes on. 3 months later we did a check up at the vet. The x rays showed growth between the coffin bone and hoof wall. He went from a .3 mm to a .75 mm. A huge difference. Danny began to look like a whole new horse. Then I had some financial set backs and I had to pause the Thrive feed and in June of 2026 Danny began to regress back into the same issues as before (laminitis, weight loss, poor absorption of nutrients, and gut distress). I struggled most of the summer on finances and had to make other sacrifices. Thrive was not going to be one of them Danny has began his journey again and this time he won’t be coming off of Thrive. He is steadily gaining weight, and all the other issues are reversing. He has come leaps and bounds and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for this sweet boy. His new path will be one of my best lesson horses with the most quiet and calm demeanor a thoroughbred can have. Kim would buy him tomorrow as a beginner horse for her family if I would sell him.

This is an awesome quick read on the hind gut and how troubles can start. Girthy horses? Cold backed? Resistance to bending? These are some of the things an imbalance can cause !

The Hidden Link Between Behaviour and the HindgutWe’ve all seen it, and many of us have lived it.A horse that pins its ears when the saddle appears. A horse that snaps when the girth is tightened. A horse that suddenly becomes resistant, tense, unwilling, or explosive under saddle despite having p...

Ok friends so we are fortunate enough that the owner and Founder of Thrive Feed is easily accessible for us to connect with about our horses. He truly puts the horses first and makes a big difference!

We will plan a zoom Q and A so let me know if you want an invitation!

Dale Moultan is an Equine Nutrition Specialist and Horse Behaviour Mentor

For more than 50 years, Dale Moulton has dedicated his life to understanding the horse as a complete animal, physically, mentally, and behaviourally.

As the founder and formulator of Thrive Feed, Dale has helped thousands of horse owners improve the health and longevity of their horses through nutrition that supports the digestive system first, allowing horses to thrive naturally.

Dale’s passion extends well beyond nutrition. Throughout his career he has studied how horses think, learn, and communicate, developing practical methods that help owners build trust, confidence, and willing partnerships without fear or force.

During the mid 2000s, Dale conducted “Bring Your Worst Horse” clinics, where owners travelled from around Texas and beyond with horses they considered dangerous, nervous, difficult, to handle. By the end of the weekend, the transformation often surprised those involved.

Dale quickly discovered that the horses themselves were rarely the real problem.

As he often says:

“Most problem horses are simply horses with human problems.”

His clinics focused on helping owners understand horse psychology, body language, learning, and communication. Once people changed the way they interacted with their horses, the horses almost always changed in return.

Today, Dale continues to mentor horse owners through one on one consultations and live Zoom Q&A sessions, sharing more than five decades of practical experience in horse nutrition, behaviour, learning, and psychology.

His mission is simple:

To help people create healthy horses, confident riders, and partnerships that last a lifetime.

Whether your horse is a high level athlete, a beloved family companion, or somewhere in between, Dale believes every horse deserves to be understood before it is expected to perform.

Another for the people!

Anyone suffer from Migranes?!

Today's story belongs to. Heidi.

In her mid twenties, Heidi experienced her first migraine. The pain was so intense that she was convinced she was having a stroke and headed straight to the emergency room. What started as occasional migraines with aura quickly became a regular part of her life. For the next seven years, she battled anywhere from two to more than twenty migraines every month.😬

Think about that for a moment. Planning life around migraines. Wondering when the next one would hit. Trying medications, managing symptoms, and hoping for relief.

Then in 2015, a friend introduced her to Juice Plus. Heidi was skeptical. In fact, she was so unsure that she split her first order with a friend rather than committing to a full order herself.

The first month came and went without much thought. By the second month, she and her friend were talking about whether they had noticed any changes. Then her friend asked a simple question,
"How many migraines have you had lately?"

The question stopped Heidi. For the first time in years, she realized something had changed. During her first month, she had only experienced four or five migraines. During the second month, only two or three. That may not sound life changing to everyone, but for someone who had spent years battling frequent migraines, it was impossible to ignore.

She continued building her nutritional foundation with Juice Plus and Complete shakes. Over time, her migraines continued to decrease. She also noticed she was sleeping better, drinking more water, craving more fruits and vegetables, and feeling more energized during her workouts.

Today, more than eleven years later, migraines are no longer a regular part of her life.🙌💯

What I love most about Heidi's story is that she wasn't looking for a miracle. She simply said yes to one small step. A conversation. A little curiosity. A willingness to try something different.

This morning, I found myself thinking again about something I shared recently. Sometimes our burden is our assignment and vision in disguise.

Heidi's journey with migraines gave her a passion for helping others look at wellness differently. What once felt like a constant struggle became part of a story she now shares to encourage others.

I never expected a story about migraines to become a story about hope, consistency, and the power of nourishing the body one day at a time.

What continues to amaze me is that every story in this series looks different, yet they all point back to the same truth. Small choices, made consistently over time, have the power to change the trajectory of our health and our lives.

Most of all, I am reminded that God can use the very things we never would have chosen to create a story we never could have imagined.

Do you know someone who struggles with migranes? Please share Heidi's story. Her story is an answer to someone's prayers.❤️

Got a call that this sweet boy was in a bad colic yesterday morning. He had all the good stuff from the vet and then we put a PEMF session on him. We finished the session at 12:30 and by 3:30 we had some lovely turds and he started drinking ! So happy we had a great team effort to help sweet Bo! Thank you Rachael Hallenberger for the privilege of helping your kind old gentleman! I just love happy endings!
