"Tendon and ligament injuries represent a significant portion of the lameness cases we treat in our practice. In addition to intralesional therapy and shockwave treatments, I now recommend the use of Steadfast Equine to expedite healing. Promoting the collagen health of the horse’s body is a novel approach. Not only have I seen faster recovery times, the owners of the horses I treat with Steadfast Equine have reported better coat condition, improved hoof quality, increased performance ability and an overall positive in behavior. In addition, I have been able to save my clients money by recommending Steadfast Equine as opposed to having one supplement for the hooves, one for the joints and one for general health. I would strongly encourage anyone who is trying to improve their horse’s health to give Steadfast Equine a chance."
- Mark W. Cassells, DVM
"I had used Steadfast Equine for joint and soft tissue support through the busy competitive months of the year on my only competing horse at the time. I could definitely see a difference in how he felt after a rigorous weekend. What really sold me on this product was when my 4-year-old mare got kicked in a very scary spot, barely missing the joint. Just above her stifle swelled up like a volleyball and they had told me 6-8 weeks for heal time. I started her on 2 packs a day of Steadfast Equine for the first 2 weeks then went to one for the remainder of the healing process. The results were amazing, even my vet was floored. I was back on my horse in 4 weeks completely healed. Just in time to get her ready for her first set of futurities where she went on to do really well. This wouldn't have been possible without the Steadfast Equine!"
- Kallie Wright, Champion Barrel Racer
"I find that my horses who are in hard work, whether they are young or older, do very well on Steadfast Equine. They stay very sound and happy in their work. "
- Barb Crabo, Professional 3-Day Eventer
"Keeping our competition horses comfortable and happy is always our main priority. We work on the horse’s mental state a lot, but it isn’t as effective if their physical comfort isn’t at an optimal level. We selected Steadfast Equine as our joint supplement because with the NEM and TelaFirm, we know we are getting the best absorption rates and quality ingredients available."
- Warwick Schiller, NRHA Professional
"I try to prevent any type of injury on my horses, I really like to use Steadfast Equine because it keeps them feeling good even when they are under hard work and competition. Plus, I find I don't have to take them to the vet as often because they feel great."
- Daniela Moguel, Professional 3-Day Eventer
"As a barrel racing horse, many times they need routine injections to keep them sound. Larry has not needed any "maintenance" since he has been on Eq-Well and Steadfast Equine. This has been a great saving to me and to Larry's body."
- Jennifer Barrett, Champion Barrel Racer
"In the years I have been feeding Steadfast Equine to my training horses, I have noticed a decrease in lameness and soundness related issues. Steadfast Equine provides our horses with an impressive daily anti-inflammatory component and has improved soft tissue and joint health. I have some horses in training that show frequently and have structural defects and soundness issues that, if it were not for Steadfast Equine, could not compete at a high level. Because of the high standards and quality control in production and the outstanding results we have experienced, Steadfast Equine is our first and only choice in supplementation, insuring our horses always feel and look their best."
- Andrew Coates, NCHA Professional
"I have found Steadfast Equine to be very helpful for keeping horses feeling great while working extremely hard. They look great, too."
- Barbara Crabo, Professional 3-Day Eventer
"Since Alejandra has been on Steadfast Equine, her performance at every show is so much better than before. She is now very competitive, and Steadfast Equine makes her feel much better."
- Daniela Moguel, Professional 3-Day Eventer
"In September 2008, I noticed that my little brachiocephalic dwarf miniature horse had a large swelling on his left rear hock. I limited his exercise but by November his hock had gotten even larger. I made an appointment with our veterinarian and radiographs were taken. They showed a great deal of demineralization of the end of the tibia bone on the medial side. It was a very rare condition in a mature horse called dismaturity of the bone. When Dr. B told me that Dusty should not be allowed to play anymore, which he truly enjoyed, it broke my heart. I began searching the internet and came upon Steadfast Equine. I called Arenus and spoke with Dr. Kenneth Kopp who thought Steadfast Equine would help. He has been on it since November 2008. On October 8, 2009 I returned to Dr. B’s clinic and we were both amazed at the results! Dusty’s tibia is now re-mineralized and can flex his hock with no difficulty. I am so happy for Dusty, he is my special, special little horse and means more to me than anything. From this tiny, less than perfect horse I have learned about the incredible will to live as well as the fact that a horse does not have to be picture perfect in every way to steal your heart. Thank you Dr. Kopp and Steadfast Equine!"

“We put our 20 year old school horse on Steadfast Equine and within 2 months, we were able to pull her of the maintenance dose of bute and she began to move better than she has in years.”
- David Wilson
"I’m not much of a supplement type person so I think the biggest convincing factor for Steadfast Equine is that it’s clinically proven to strengthen tendons and ligaments."
- Doug Payne, Professional 3-Day Eventer
“Steadfast Equine is the best joint supplement I’ve used. Many times we’ve seen a big difference in cases from old injuries, new injuries, overuse, etc. It’s easy to feed and carry to shows. And a nice byproduct is the minerals make them nice and shiny!"
- Heather Johnson, NRHA Professional
"I started using Steadfast Equine about a year ago after hearing about it at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity. I had a couple of horses in mind that could benefit from extra joint support. One horse in particular, Lotsa Clone, or “VW” as we call him, is an older horse that I had retired after a successful career in team roping. Even though he was 24 years old at the time, he was still competitive enough for my oldest son Wyatt to ride and rope on him. Since starting Steadfast Equine, I have seen dramatic results in VW. Helping him feel better physically has also helped him mentally. He runs and stops harder than before and I can tell that he feels better because he’s not as stiff when he moves. I believe that small things make big differences. I’m going to keep using Steadfast Equine and I would recommend it to anyone with performance horses.”
- Jason Hershberger, AQHA World Champion Team Roper
“Steadfast Equine is the best supplement I have ever used for Taz. He has had a back end ‘hitch’ and occasional lameness since he was 4 years old, but he has not had a day he couldn’t work through a little hitch into a beautiful trot and canter since he has been receiving Steadfast Equine. He is also a very picky eater and this is the first ‘powder’ supplement he has ever eaten.”
- Jenny Lance, Professional 3-Day Eventer
"In March, after returning from Scottsdale, we put Scarlet on Steadfast Equine to see if it would target the issues we were having with her. After 1 month of being on Steadfast Equine we began to notice a different in Scarlet. Her movement was much more fluid and she did not seem to be showing any signs of the usual soreness. So, we decided to take her to Region 9 Championship to see how she would react which would be the next test of Steadfast Equine. To our surprise the old Scarlet was back. Scarlet was the most relaxed at the show and when she walked into the pen for the first time in over 2 years, Scarlet and her owner Zollie Saxon came away with 2 Reserve Championships in PB Reining and most important we came home with a happy and sound Scarlet. Arenus has made me a believer because I have seen results in the performance and attitude of all the horses we now have in the barn on Steadfast Equine.”
- John O'Hara, AQHA Professional
“Since starting on Steadfast Equine, my 4 star eventing horse (who was semi-retired) has been able to return to work. I’ve been shocked at how much he has improved in his flexibility, overall comfort, hair coat, and stamina.”
- Lellie Ward, Professional 3-Day Eventer
"RC Fancy Step has been great his entire career and he seems to be getting better with age. We attribute some of his success to using a great product like Steadfast Equine. I also use Steadfast Equine on many of my derby horses and all of my futurity horses."
- Shawn Flarida, NRHA Professional & Olympic Medalist
"In August last year we put two horses on Steadfast Equine. One of the horses had an old tendon injury that came back to haunt him and the other horse had an acute minor ligament injury. Although both horses remained in competition, by February the scans showed no evidence of the ligament injury, and the old tendon injury had become inactive and had barely noticeable scar tissue. We have been so impressed with the results of Steadfast Equine and we highly recommend them to everyone.”
- Thaisa Erwin
“Our horses on Steadfast Equine are noticeably calmer, more trainable, more willing, and more flexible. One of them recently had a stem cell procedure and recovered quicker than any other stem cell horse I’ve ever seen.”
- Todd Sommers, NRHA Professional
"We have used Steadfast Equine as a preventative. We knew this horse had navicular changes when we purchased her as a 4 year old and, at 20 years old and 18 national championships later, she is still going strong! Great track record."
- Jessica Bein, AQHA Professional
"Steadfast Equine was the only product we put this horse on. In 45 days, there was no recurrence or worsening of the inflamed tendon sheath. We continued to train and show him with no unsoundness."
- Mark Rafacz, NRHA & AQHA Professional
"I recommend Steadfast Equine to all of my students for their horses. I think it is especially beneficial for older or arthritic horses. But I also feed it to my younger horses as it really helps them to feel and compete at their best. "
- Barb Crabo, Professional 3-Day Eventer
“I'm pleased with the results of Steadfast Equine in Green Valley Ranch's 3 year old NRHA futurity prospects. They are going through one of the most high stress times in their lives in preparation for the event, and they are sound and happy. They look great; have no tendon issues or puffiness in their legs. You can't ask for anything more than that.”
- Brent Loeske
"While at the NRHA Futurity in November 2008, I received word from back at the ranch that my yearling colt, Dualin Gangster, had gotten injured and a quarter of his hoof was sliced off. The veterinary diagnosis from Chaparral Veterinary Medical Center was that the injury would take 9 months to fully heal. After learning more about Steadfast Equine at the Futurity, I decided to give it a try to see if it would help with the soft tissue and hoof growth. Although this horse was not expected to fully recover until August, I am pleased to say that he was broke in April and has been put in to training. The skin and hair along the injury site has healed without noticeable scaring and his hoof wall has come back as good as new. I believe that using Steadfast Equine accelerated the healing time and gave him the support he needed to get back to work."
- Dave Belson, NRHA Professional
“I am thrilled with the efficacy of Steadfast Equine. My horse is brighter, happier and more forward after feeding Steadfast Equine for only two weeks. It is a super product. On another note, we think Tuna, the goat, has gotten into some STEADFAST - she looks AMAZING and we can't figure out why except that she is probably cleaning up the horse food with Steadfast in it!!”
- Hollis Angus
"Our horses look great, and feel great without being high or having excessive energy! Steadfast Equine has made older horses look, act and move years younger!"
- Kevin Stallings
"After telling me to try Steadfast Equine I thought, "Sure, I have tried everything else, why not?" Honestly, I did not expect anything to happen. But to my complete amazement after just two weeks Cecil started "walking." Not the sore-footed, “ouchy” walk, but a real walk. In a month he started trotting in the pasture soundly. My veterinarian came back out to adjust him because he was moving good enough to have a reason to adjust. He suggested putting him on Previcox® and shoeing him with pads to improve the results and also told me to start working him again. I did the shoe change and Previcox, but was too nervous to ride. He had been lame so long I could not take another heartbreaking lame step under saddle. So for a second month I watched the continued improvement. He was cantering again and playing with other horses. I was telling everyone at Dover about Steadfast Equine and what I was witnessing. Other customers were convinced enough to try it out. They would come back telling me their success stories with Steadfast Equine after only a few weeks! I finally got the courage to get back on Cecil a few weeks ago - just bareback in a halter and lead rope. We walked a few minutes then I asked for the trot. He was sound. We trotted a whole lap both directions and I wanted to cry. It had been almost eleven months since Cecil was sound under saddle. I could not believe it. I have been working him 2-3 times a week and we are up to 5 minutes of trot work. He is still going strong and begging me to let him canter. I completely believe Steadfast Equine is the reason I am riding my horse again."
- Laura Ferrante
“I was interested in trying Steadfast Equine as my horse had problems with both hoof and joint health. Sydney started on Steadfast Equine last fall, and within a few months we noticed some good hoof growth, and my trainer made several observations as well. Sydney was moving better, more comfortably, more freely than he ever had, and his body and coat condition were also better than we had ever seen. Though we still injected his hocks again this spring, we have not had to do his coffin joints for over 9 months. I asked my trainer if she thought we should keep him on the Steadfast Equine and the answer was, "Don't take him off it!"
- Melissa Lambert
"I have a 20 year old Dutch Warmblood FEI dressage gelding, he means the world to me and after a long difficult winter of breathing, navicular bursa and G.I. problems, Steadfast Equine has been an absolute life saver. A wonderful addition to my horse's needs while he was returning to his full time work schedule. The Arenus customer support is also wonderful, it is a pleasure to deal with a company that is so willing to listen and truly interested in your particular situation. I still continue to get "check-up" emails and phone calls after several months. I have and would highly recommend this product to anyone."
- Rachel Francisco
“I immediately noticed a difference in my 26 year old horse’s appearance and hair after starting on Steadfast Equine. His focus and mannerisms also seemed to change significantly as well. He became more relaxed and calm and I swear he seems happier and younger too. His senses seem sharper and he’s regained his stamina.”
- Sabrina Spirito
“We’ve been able to decrease our grain rations in our thoroughbred gelding, Red, since having him on Steadfast Equine. He has better muscling, more even and ease of movement, he is calmer and has less arthritic snapping in his hind end, and the length between joint injections is greater.”
- Tom Pasteur
"Julgun was to have his front and hind iced after light riding, and then have his front limbs sweated every night for a month. Eventually, we began riding him again, but we never made progress. There were occasions where he stayed sound for a week and we would increase work time and then he would go backwards and be sore again. We were beginning to get frustrated and things were looking like he wouldn't be riding sound again, let alone show. Towards the end of September, we were introduced to your product, Steadfast Equine. After being on this supplement for a month, we had started noticing changes in Julgun's gait; he was becoming more and more sound every time he was rode. Seeing this got everyone excited because it looked like after nine months, we were finally getting somewhere. Each ride lead to more jogging, more loping, and sounder strides. We have kept Julgun on this great supplement ever since September and we attribute his “comeback” to Steadfast Equine. His trainer, Abby Mixon, has since taken him back on to her show string, and he's still as strong as he was when he started to improve, if not better. We are planning to get Julgun back on the NRCHA show circuits in 2013 and get him qualified for the AQHA World Show. None of this we feel would be possible without Steadfast Equine. We are firm believers in the benefits of using supplement and we will recommend it to anyone as it has helped Julgun, and feel it will help many other horses."
