Cushing’s Free Naturally
Herbal Support for Healthy Pituitary Function
What are the first signs of Equine Cushing’s disease in horses?
Cushing’s disease usually occurs in mature horses starting around age 15 although there are cases in horses as young as 7. The symptoms start gradually with the most noticeable being an unusually thick shaggy coat that stays on after winter and laminitis that occurs out of nowhere.
The link between laminitis and Cushing’s Disease ( PPID ), though not completely understood, is believed to be caused by high levels of cortisol and cortisol like hormones in the blood circulation.

His eyes are bright his weight stabilized and he trots around the field -he will be on this for the rest of his life .that’s how good it works ❤️
In April 2024 the vet told me that my 18-year-old Welsh Pony most likely has Cushings Disease. Rather than spending hundreds to have her tested (and then treated with medications), I decided to start researching natural remedies to treat her in a more holistic way first. I was pleasantly surprised to find Alternative Animal and their “Cushing’s Free” supplement. In just a matter of two months, I noticed significant improvement with her coat and weight gain. She went from being mopey and not feeling well, to returning to her normal spunky self. She started gaining weight quickly. Her attitude improved. Last fall and into winter, finances were tight, so I couldn’t purchase the supplement regularly like I wanted to. I noticed her health declining again (in a very short time). I reordered the supplement as soon as I could, and once again, it took no time at all for her to start looking good again. I stand by this company and the products that they put out. I have recommended this company to several people, including my vet. I am a forever customer and am so thankful that they make products that are not only made with safe-and-natural ingredients, but are reasonably priced and affordable. I am looking forward to starting my 19yr old OTTB on the equine joint supplement this fall. I’m expecting great results because I’ve experienced nothing but that thus far!
P.S. She is healthily right around 500lbs. I find she does best with 2 scoops per day in her feed. 🙂
So far we are loving this product. Cindy Lou Who is a 30 year old pony with cushings she has recently been struggling with skin issues. After starting the cushings supplement and kidney and liver cleanse, her skin issues improved with out topical medication. She is still fuzzy but I am hoping this spring we see a different pony. Right now we are 1 month on the supplement and feeling great.
I have been using Cushing’s Free Naturally for over six months. My horse looks great, farrier says hooves are good and he seems happy.
I’ve been using cushings free for two years on a horse that cannot take the cushings prescription. So far so good! We are going on 5 years of cushings and he’s still ridable and happy! He loves the supplement and for that I’m happy because he is extremely picky!
