| To Select The
Best, When we purchased our 3 year old western pleasure futurity horse the owners had removed his glued in tail. Needless to say his tail was thin and lacking!! After using Nu-Image 60 days you can see a noticeable difference in the tail. The tail hair growing in is thicker and his general overall coat is dappling.
In the 1980's we used Dia-Glo with Vitamin E shots and never saw the results that we do with Nu-Image (at a FRACTION of the cost.) This product does promote growth in tails!!!!! We have two horses whose tails are on the way to recovery. We are very satisfied with your products! Sincerely, J Wood, AR |

Select The Best,
In having chosen Select products, I feel as if I have truly "selected the best." Since having started both young and aged horses on New Hoof Maximizer I have found that without fail, my horses have grown strong healthy hooves faster than ever before. As a direct result of healthy rapid hoof growth, they are better able to withstand the rigors of daily training while at the same time they are also able to recover from existing hoof problems in less time. Overall, I have found New Hoof Maximizer to be an asset to my overall feeding program.
Because performance horses are subject to regular and prolonged activity, I have chosen to incorporate “Futurity" into my feeding program for several reasons. As of a means of both prevention and maintenance, it is highly important to care for the joints of the performance horse. This product helps to offer our industry a financially feasible alternative to Teriodic joint injections. In my opinion, SELECT THE BEST offers not only quality products, but produced by knowledgeable and experienced individuals, and it also offers a superior level of service to its customers. Whether it is the secretary that responds to my order requests or the field reps. that take hay samples. I have found the Select team to be constantly supportive of my suggestions and needs. It has been a pleasure to work with everyone associated with SELECT THE BEST. Trotting

Here are before and after pictures taken of my Shetland pony.
When I got her I started her on Nu-Image coat conditioner for thirty days. As you can tell her coat has almost completely shed out. Her hair was dull, rough, and matted. Her new coat is dark grey and dapple. This all resulted from receiving a free sample. Since I don’t have a lot of money to keep trying new products, your Nu-Image sample was enough to sell me and my friends! They just can’t believe the difference. She is frisky and there is no hesitation on eating the Nu-Image supplement. Sincerely, Teddi L. Young P.S. I also learned a lot from the “product ingredient” comparison chart you sent a little latter… |

Select The Best, We used the Select Nu-Hoof Maximizer supplement for a period where Jakar was recovering from surgery and his hoof quality was compromised. His feet literally fell apart and had to be fiberglassed to hold a shoe for about six months afterward. The biotin/zinc methionine supplement caused a huge increase in growth of new hoof horn. It did go a long way for the price too. I had to cut the dose in half after the first two months because the growth looked more like what you'd expect at ten weeks when our six-week trimming rolled around. It was amazing! There may be other factors involved here, but I do give a lot of credit to the Nu-Hoof Maximizer for the improvement. I didn't continue to use the supplement afterward however. It was a tool for the specific problem at the time. - Nikki |

Select The Best, Being a farrier in Northern Virginia I see all kinds of conditions in my practice, From dry sandy lots, to wet foamy pastures, to hard rocky fields and trails. Summer times are particularly difficult with hot dry days and cool wet nights. These conditions are very rough on a Horse's hooves. Many of my clients have tried hoof supplements without much success, until Select Nu-Hoof Maximizer. With the Nu-Hoof Maximizer I have seen a significant increase of the quality of the hoof capsule, stronger tougher walls that hold nails well, and thicker healthier soles with reduced bruising. I am very impressed with the result of Nu-Hoof Maximizer. It is an economical well balanced supplement that really works I use it on my own Horses and recommend it to all my Clients. Thank you SELECT for bringing the Equine Industry such a great Product. Sincerely, Bruce A. Pfaff Farrier Warrenton, VA |

Select The Best, I had bought Nu-Hoof on the recommendation of my horse shoer who suggested your product to help my horses hooves grow out. My horse's problem is dryness, and the heels do not grow much at all. The walls of her hoof would break out badly because her shoes would not stay on. She was laid up many times because she was sore footed. Your product had completely solved the problem quickly. I am impressed with your product and will recommend it to anyone in need of a supplement. I still use Nu-Hoof. I will have to use this product all of my horse's life. Thanks to your superior product at an affordable price, I will never have such problems again. Thank you. Sincerely Shana Buell |

Select The Best, I purchased a 5 pound bucket of Nu-Image to test on my Quarter Horses. To see how it worked, I only gave it to one of my four horses, April. Within four days I noticed a difference in her coat, it was shiny and softer than I had ever seen. For the next few weeks, everyone that came to our place was tested on coat conditions of all our horses, and without fail, everyone including the Vet, and Farrier picked out April without hesitation as having the best coat condition. Am I hooked on Nu-Image? You bet!! And we can't wait for the show season to show off "April" and her new image :) D. M., NV |

To Select The Best,
I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you a remarkable story of the recuperation of our halter horse, "Gil" from a serious hoof surgery. As a background "Gil" is a two time world champion, three time world reserve champion and congress winner. We purchased "Gil" in January 1997 and in late February 1997 "Gil" became lame in his front right leg. Our trainer, Ms. Kelly Otis-Jadin, contacted our veterinarian Gary c. Porter DVM. Of equine veterinary practice in Frankfort, Illinois. He then examined "Gil" and diagnosed, by x-rays, that “Gil" had a very severe case of "white line disease'” in his front right hoof. On February 25, 1997 dr. Porter, assisted by our Ferrier Vic Zupan, performed a toe resection of the right front hoof, removing the hoof wall to within 1 " of the coronet, leaving only the outside heel and the inside heel and quarter. Because of "Gil's size, Dr. Porter after the surgery gave Gil a 10% chance of survival because, of his body mass and concern with laminitis in the left fore. Consultations were held between Ms Jadin, dr. Porter and Vic Zupan as to what the best course would be for recuperation. "Gil" was confined to his stall; a pad assembly was created by Vic Zupan with supplementation of "Selects Nu Hoof" for re-growth of the hoof. In late August 1997, enough hoof
had regenerated, that Dr. Porter instigated a hand walking program.
Dr. Porter indicated that "six months was an incredibly short
time for a new hoof to grow enough to support "Gil's"
weight. Thank You Select The Best |

Select The Best,
It's the dream of every kid who competes on an American Quarter Horse to show at either the AQHA Youth World Championships or The All-American Quarter Horse Congress. My 15-year-old daughter, Melissa is no exception. In 1997 she worked very hard to train and successfully show her 4-year-old gelding "Bubba." Being "Nationally Qualified" to compete at the AQHA Youth World Championships in Aug. 1998 rewarded her efforts. Unfortunately in April "Bubba" developed a quarter crack on his right front hoof. The hoof became so tender that Melissa was unable to either work or ride him. Looking for a medical remedy I contacted our vet for guidance. He felt the condition was more mechanical than medical and suggested we consult our farrier. Being familiar with Melissa's invitation to the World Championships, the farrier immediately recommended the addition of Select Nu-Hoof Maximizer to Bubba's daily diet. He explained to us the results of a study conducted at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. It reported dramatic improvement in hoof integrity, in as little as three to five months. At that point the World's was only three months away. We needed to harden rind strengthen Bubba's hoof wall as soon as possible in order to allow both Bubba and Melissa to prepare for the World Championships. The farrier also felt that the continued use of Nu-Hoof Maximizer over the next few months would improve hoof growth and reduce the impact of the cracked hoof. He also explained how Nu-Hoof Maximizer would provide a more substantial, stronger hoof horn on which to shoe. As new hoof material a decision was made to test its strength at a show over the Memorial Day weekend. After the second day of limited showing, the crack reopened. A week later a strategy session between, Melissa, her parents, trainer and farrier concluded that competing in the 1998 World's was no longer a reasonable goal. A more realistic goal of competing at this year's Congress was then established. Both Melissa's trainer arid farrier felt the reputation of Nu-Hoof Maximizer for increasing hoof growth would help make that goal a reality. A
regiment of light groundwork and the dietary supplements of Nu-Hoof
Maximizer was continued for the next ten weeks until mid Aug.
Melissa was then, again able to ride Bubba and prepare for Congress.
They started slowly at first, building on the many hours spent during
the summer
on groundwork. With focused determination, steadily the frequency
of the workouts and the lengths of trots and canters increased.
To all who know her, the consensus was the same: if Melissa is able
to enter the ring at "Congress" on a sound horse, she
would have met her goal for 1998. Thank
you Select for helping to make dreams come true. |

Select The Best,
First let me say THANK YOU for your products – it is truly amazing. I have draft horses (Percheron’s) that I use commercially to take people wine tasting in El Dorado and Amador Countries, Ca. My ladies (my two mares) had terrible feet and my farriar was about to give up. We all thought it was from the shoes, pavement, etc, then I discovered a marvelous company in Colorado and had special shoes made – but we still had a problem keeping them on because of their bad feet. My vet recommended Nu-Hoof Maximizer and within 3 months time my ladies had NEW FEET!! My farriar said that if he hadn’t been working on them all along he never would have believed it. All was well until one of my boys (my two geldings) came up with ring bone and we had to pull him from competition and it was questionable whether he would work again. Once again my vet recommended your product “Nu-Flex” and within 90 days he was not only back working but has not lost a day’s work since then. Needless to say, I am a great fan of your products. Sincerely, |

Select The Best, I am so pleased with the results of your product Nu-Hoof Maximizer. Ambassador had trouble keeping his shoes on, and his heels grew very slowly. In the spring of 1994, I was told about Nu-Hoof Maximizer from a much respected AERC competitor. I started using the product immediately and was surprised how easy it was to feed and how willingly my horse ate it. Within eight weeks, I could see a new growth line below the coronary band; and, as the hoof grew, my farrier was impressed with the strength and suppleness of the hoof wall. By the end of the 1994 AERC season, I had completed 700 racing miles with not one lost shoe! Not having to worry about "Bass's" hooves has helped me to reach my endurance goals. Thank you for putting such a useful and reliable product on the market which I will continue to use on all my horses. Sincerely, Heather Pryor 1994 1st Place Junior West Region 5th Place Jnr.

Buddy is the family’s quarter pony that foaled in March 1964. He was still in the show pen until October 1997. Buddy has helped nine kids’ complete 4-H projects. Until just a few years ago he had been showed at every All American Youth Show starting with the very first show in Columbus Ohio. Several years ago Buddy started loosing the fullness over his hip. He had no bloom to his coat and looked very much like an old pony. We started him on Select using Digest Pro & Nu-Image. Thank you Select for keeping our family pony looking like the champion he will always be to us. Melonie Furnish |

The Best, Hello, here is a testimonial on Nu-Image. I had moved from BC to Alberta in April with a yearling filly that was body clipped and was entered in our Regional Sweepstakes event in August. When we arrived it was winter again and everyone knows that has body clipped 3 blankets and 2 hoods later we blew our coat. She thought it was winter again so our coat looked awful!!!!!! I was informed from one of your Reps here in Alberta to try Nu-Image. I asked her if it would fix a shabby exbody clipped yearling and she told me if it doesn't she will reimburse me the funds that I will be spending. I told her that I was brushing 2 times a day for about 1 hour at each interval and she informed me to use Nu-Image and groom her once a day and see the difference. I was totally amazed! My trainer asked me how long I have been grooming and what am I feeding her, her coat is fantastic!!!!! I have now used Nu-Image for a year and I am totally sold on this product. I just started a new young stallion on it and he again was body clipped and he is a dark bay, well he is almost black with a mirror shine and not much brushing goes on here. Now I leave it up to Nu-Image!!!! |

Select The Best, I have been using Select Nu-Image for the past three years. I was introduced to the product when I won a circuit championship award, and I received a small container of Nu-Image as the award. I started using Nu-Image that afternoon and within one week, I noticed an incredible difference in my horse's hair coat. Over the next month, I noticed that she started to shed more, her hair became shinny and it was also very soft to the touch. In May, I bought a yearling stud colt that had a very ‘wispy' coat of hair, and I immediately put him on the Nu-Image supplement. He started to shed his hair within one month and now, only after three months, his hair coat is as shinny and silky as my other horse. Every time I take them to the horse show, at least five people every weekend as me how I get my horse's hair so shinny. They ask me how long I spend brushing them a day, and what kind of shampoo I use. The only thing I tell them is that I am very proud to use, Select Nu-Image. Thank You! Sincerely, Julie Winkler |

Select The Best, Rarely do I write a company to tell them what a great product they sell, but in your case I had to do so. I have 4 horses: 2 Quarterhorses, a registered mare and stock grade gelding and a Quarter/pony filly. They are all fed alfalfa hay, a tablespoon of Red Cell, and a scant ration of Pure Pride 200 daily. They are kept on our property, which is desert rock and sand; they get groomed regularly and bathed about three times a year. They are all in excellent health, but their coats did not have the shine (even after their baths and conditioner) I saw on horses in the local shows (which may be partly due to ShowSheen - which I don't like and won't use). In January, I bought a small container of Nu-Image at Jones Feed in Las Vegas, where I regularly shop for my horse needs. Within 3 weeks there was a noticeable difference in the gloss of my horses' coats and this was during the height of their winter coats. I have used it daily ever since. When they shed out in March/April, all of their coats were beautiful, sleek, shiny, and soft. Their manes and tails are naturally glossy and smooth, and strong; there is very little breakage and no dry ends. Thanks for making such a great product! Sincerely, Susan Bayliss |

Select The Best,
I began using Select Nu-ImageCoat Conditioner in August 1994. The difference in my horse's coat was evident in less than one month. I have been using and recommending your product ever since. This letter is part "testimonial" and part request for sponsorship. I
am the proud owner of Emperador 11, a three year old graying bay
Andalusian stallion. I
have been approached on numerous occasions by other horse owners
asking me what I put on my horse to get that kind of shine. I respond
that I don't put anything on; I put it in - Select Nu-ImageCoat
Conditioner. Gay A. Berg |

Select The Best, My name is Jennifer Tibbett and I live in Northern Utah. I bought a 7year-old Selle Francias warmblood in Dec. of 1998. I bought him from owners that took excellent care of him, but he was under weight and had a dull coat. The owners fed him a lot and had him on all kinds of supplements, but none were Select brand. When I got him home in December nobody in the barn I boarded at was impressed by my new horse. In fact, I over heard a couple people talking about him and they said he was down right ugly and there was no hope for him. I visited the Select the best web sight and decided that I would try the free sample of Select Nu-Image. I started feeding D'artagnan this product and within a week his coat had a new shine to it. Within a month he gained a lot of weight. I credit his "Nu-look" to Nu-Image. I have before and after pictures to prove what this product has done for him. Since his "Nu-look", I have had a lot of offers for him. He is never for sale to anyone. He is my dream horse... Thank you Nu-Image for making him look like the horse he was all along. Thank you, Jennifer Tibbett |

On June 25, 1995 I purchased my first pail of Select Nu-Imageto my horse, Joleen Strats. I wanted to improve her coat for the youth world show. When we got to Ft. Worth on August 8th, she was shinning like a palomino horse is suppose to shine, just like a gold coin! Her hair looked like it had metallic threads of gold all throughout. Everyone commented on how beautiful Joleen was and of course after I won the World Championship in Showmanship at Halter I new it had to be the Select Nu-Image. Thank-you Select for helping Joleen and I to win the world. Sincerely

Select The Best, I can’t say enough good things about your Nu-Image coat conditioner. I received a free sample of your product almost a year ago. Instead of using it on my horse with the poorest coat, I used it on my horse with the best coat. After owning Tazzraf for 5 years, supplementing him daily and giving him probably near lethal doses of corn oil and flax seed, he still didn’t have that awesome “rainbow” sheen that some horses with sleek summer coats give off in bright sunlight. I had come to believe that that rainbow effect was something that a horse was either born with or not. Around the time my sample was just about running out I had given Tazz a bath and he was drying in the sun. I thought my sun glasses were playing tricks on me but as I brushed him, I got all teary-eyed at the beginning of a glimmer of rainbows shinning off of him! Needless to say, ever since, I have been buying the giant family sized buckets of Nu-Image and all of my horses have a rainbow shine all summer!!! I am very proud of my three “sons” and never miss a chance to tell people at show, gymkhanas, and team penning who remark about their beautiful coats about your wonderful product. All of their tails are dragging the ground and I spend far too much time trimming manes and tails to my delight. But wait-your success doesn’t stop here. About six months ago my little border collie, Luke started asking for little licks of your product every night in my hay barn as I was mixing the horses’ bran and supplements. After about a month people (everyone who knew him and saw him) started to remark about how shiny he was and I told them all about your product. So we have a new evening ritual. I take a scoop of Nu-Image and sit on the step at the door of my hay barn and holler, “Who wants to be a shiny dog?” Luke, Gypsy, Shadow, Figgie and White Toes come running and take turns licking from the scoop until it is all gone. Even my old old dog Gypsy, whose coat hasn’t even tried to shine in three to four years, has doggie rainbows!!! My little White Toes, who I raised from birth is 3 ½ months old now and has had Nu-Image daily since she was about 6 wks. Old. Her blue-black coat is so incredibly shiny that people actually accuse me of greasing her down, or putting some sort of hair dressing on her. I tell them all to try your product and they will have the same shiny success! Gypsy even seems to be less itchy and has had less summer hair loss than in recent years. In spite of my horse-poor, dog-poor very limited budget I plan to always have Nu-Image in my barn for my horses and dogs. I hope to continue to encourage others to use your product. It certainly advertises itself well!! We may all go blind around here from all these shiny critters running about, but we’re lookin’ good! Thank you for a product that does everything it is suppose to do and more. Sincerely, Sally Mason |

To Select The Best, In our 1996 Breeding and Feeding program, we used the Select Breeders Pak and Nu-Image Coat Conditioner. Both products were excellent. We were more than pleased with the results as our stallions were in great condition all during the breeding season. The Show Horses had much better show coats than usual. Sincerely, E. F.

Select The Best, I think I wrote to you before, but just in case I want to let you know I love your products! I work in the equine department of Petsmart in Reno Stateline Tack. I have been using your products for a number of years now. I started out with the Nu-Image, a sample that one of your reps gave me at the Paint Zone show several years ago. I have Appaloosas, and I wanted better show coats on the white, and notice a difference in 10 days. Since, I have been using your Nu-flex on my horse with a bone spavin. It helps keep him comfortable and serviceably sound, and have been using that with a Legend shot every 6 months. I highly recommend your products to customers with the same problems, and now that you have added the glucosamines to your arsenal it makes a world of difference. These products carry the most mg's per scoop and are actually more cost effective than many of the others with lesser formulas. For example, I talked "Debbie" into trying both on her 23 year old QH who was so sore with joint problems he could barely walk. Debbie was sort of apprehensive, but nonetheless, left the store with both of your products willing to give it a try. She came back to the store about 3 weeks later and she is now confirmed. Debbie was so happy she was able to take her old guy for a short trail ride the week before. She says he runs around and bucks and acts like his old self. Debbie absolutely loves me for recommending it, and now I have a new friend. It really makes me feel good when I can help someone's horse out. Thanks again for making some of the best stuff on the market!! Kathy McCovey |

I used to have trouble keeping my horses shiny and glossy especially in the winter months. Feeding alfalfa hay and a 12% pelleted grain wasn’t enough so I tried Select Nu-Image. Within three weeks the horses haircoats improved 100%. The horses shed out the dead hair, after brushing, leaving a silky glossy finish. Helmville Dandy the 1996 NSBA Hight Point 3yr. old open horse is a good example of the results of Select Nu-Image; Ima Due Gooder Too a 2yr. old “red roon” stallion, the 1996 Roberts Arena highest money earning horse is another good example. I have also tried the Select Nu-Hoof Maximizer on a horse whose hooves were so bad he had to wear glue on shoes. After starting him on Nu-Hoof we were able to nail on regular shoes by the next reset. Select
made a believer out of me and I can’t imagine how I ever survived
without it. |

Select The Best,
I am writing to congratulate you on the effectiveness of the SELECT products that we have used at Dunromin'. All of our management groups have been on Select for two years, and they are all thriving. The greatest improvement in Selects' results over our past feeding regimens has been seen in our youngsters, especially the yearling halter horses. Since we started our pregnant mares on Mare & Foal II in their last trimester of pregnancy, and then continued feeding it to the weanlings into their yearling year, there has been a dramatic decrease in growth related orthopedic disease. The yearlings that have been in conditioning programs with forced exercise have been totally up to the challenge, and have looked better than those in past years because they can take more work and can be fed more concentrate. Because of its compatibility with Select II and Mare & Foal II, and its high fat content, we have been using Nu-Image as our coat conditioner with very good results. In an effort to stay competitive, we have always been looking for ways to improve the results of our feeding program. SELECT products have brought Dunromin' closer to the ideal feeding program than any other supplement has. Respectfully, |
|

To Select The Best, We've used a variety of supplements over the last 25 years. In my opinion, Nu-Image Coat Conditioner is the best we've fed. You will see immediate results with continued use. I think select stress-pak is a great product. I give it to my horses before hauling them and then again upon arrival at a show after a long drive. The horses eat, drink, and rest much better at the show. Johne & Charlie Dobbs |

This
Select The Best Success story started in April of 1995 when I purchased
a 7 year old quarter horse mare named Jiggin N Time, AKA Vegas. The
people we purchased her from introduced us to the Select Nu-Image
product; they said they used it in their show barn to keep their
horses coats nice. Well knowing that this mare had some pretty serious
feet and joint problems, we did some research and talking with other
people on what products to use that might help keep this mare sound
and able to go down the road to a lot of shows on the qualifying
circuits to the A.Q.H.A. world shows. We decided that along with
some excellent veterinary care from Dr. Jerry Black and corrective
shoeing that we would also implement the Nu-Flex
Maximizer, Nu-Hoof,
MSM
and the Select
II vitamins to her program, along with the Stress
Pac for long hauls and hot weather, and the Nu-Image
she was already on. I
believe that this goes to show that doing the proper research on
feed supplements to aid in what you are trying to achieve, proper
veterinary care and a lot of hard work and persistence will really
pay off if you don't write things out of the picture before you
ever give things a try. |

Select The Best, I have been feeding Opti-Coat since July of 1997. Opti-Coat sure puts a nice soft shinny coat on a horse. I believe Opti-Coat also cuts down on the amount of feed a horse needs to maintain good condition. We feed Opti-Coat to our stallions and some of the mares. We hope by feeding Opti-Coat we will increase our conception rate and mild production. I believe Opti-Coat is a good product. Ginther Stables J.R. Ginther |
