If I remember correctly, a product called "carbo charge" or something like it was all the rage for awhile, but its use has waned... I never used it, but I know people who did and their horses did not do well with it. A friend gave me a big bucket of it after she gave up on it, but it's still sitting on my tack room shelf... I've never used it.

remember the horse did not do well.
