Cushings Free Naturally- Natural Cushing’s Supplement for Horses
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.

Symptoms of Cushing’s Disease in Horses:

- Late or no shedding of winter coat

- Low energy and poor performance
- Looking “Pot-bellied”
- Loss of topline and decreased muscle tone
- Cresty neck fat pads above the eyes and on the backend

What happens if Cushing’s is left untreated in horses?
Left untreated, Equine Cushing’s disease can lead to serious health issues for your horse. Severe neurological problems can occur causing uncoordinated movement that gets worse and in extreme cases horses can’t get up after lying down.
They may start to breathe heavy, sweat while standing still and become extremely lethargic. Severe laminitis causing founder and ultimately… death.

I highly recommend THE HAY PILLOW for a slow-feeder hay bag designed for ground feeding. The Hay Pillow allows your horse to eat in a natural grazing position.
Feeding Cushings Free Naturally daily along with limiting access to grass, increased movement and exercise, using slow feeders and proper hoof care may help get your horse sound, comfortable and back to riding.
Adrenal Support Naturally is also a great addition for horses with Cushing’s (PPID), Laminitis/Founder, Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), EPM, under stress from training, trailering, showing, competing, or vaccinations, or long term drug use.

I am using the Cushings Free Naturally for my 23 yr old mare, who was diagnosed by the vet and also for my 22 yr old gelding who I diagnosed myself. Within 10 days their hair was just melting off!! They look amazing . . . my farrier says “spectacular”. I am truly excited and grateful to have found this.
Pony actually shed out her winter coat almost completely!
Great product. ACTH levels dropped using only this product, and my horse’s muscling and tone drastically improved (as well as his hair coat and hoof shape). He’s been on it a year and blood draw was pulled prior to starting him on it, and a year following. Love it!
My horse has had a recent diagnosis of Cushings. In the past I’ve used the prescription medication but the side effects were not good. This product seems to be helping my horse and no negative side effects. He is showing all good signs.
Not sure if I’m seeing changes in my horse with Cushing’s Free Supplement or not yet, maybe time will tell.
