When a Simple Gesture Makes All the Difference: The Story of a Mare and Her Owner's Dedication
When a mare in April Field's care began showing signs of colic over Memorial Day weekend, she turned to a tube of OM Turbo she had on hand in her tack room. Within a day, the mare was drinking water again, calmer, and showing clear signs of recovery — all while OM Turbo worked safely alongside her necessary medications. It's a story about attentive care, quick thinking, and the role good nutritional support can play in a horse's recovery.
Anyone who works with horses knows that certain moments test our experience, dedication, and love for these animals. Recently, we received a story that deeply moved our team and reminded us why we work every day to develop solutions that support equine health and wellbeing.
Over Memorial Day weekend, a customer took in a mare showing concerning signs. The horse had swelling on her head and around her hind legs and began showing symptoms consistent with colic. She had also lost interest in food and water, a situation that naturally caused great concern.
Facing this scenario, the owner spent the night monitoring the mare and weighing different options that could offer nutritional support. While looking through the products she had on hand in her tack room, she came across a tube of OM Turbo.
In her own words:
"She made it through the night, so I started reading the labels on the different pastes I had in my tack room. When I saw the ingredients, I thought, this has to help give her a boost."
Based on her assessment of the situation and her desire to provide additional support, the owner began administering OM Turbo along with mineral oil, giving half a tube every four hours.
By the next day, she was already noticing positive changes in the mare's behavior. By Tuesday afternoon, the horse was showing clear signs of improvement. It was later that same evening, though, that the recovery seemed to gain real momentum: the mare began drinking water more frequently and appeared calmer and more relaxed.
In her testimonial, the customer shared:
"That paste helped encourage her to drink water, naturally lifted her spirits, got her gut moving again, and — what I liked most — it didn't interfere or react badly with the medications she needed."
We are Organnact. We care. We innovate. We deliver.
Every horse is unique, and clinical situations should always be managed under the guidance of a veterinarian. Even so, stories like this one highlight the importance of providing proper nutritional support during challenging moments, and reinforce the essential role owners play in their animals' day-to-day care.
More than a story about a product, this is a story about attentiveness, dedication, and the determination to do everything possible for an animal in need.
Receiving messages like this fills us with gratitude. Knowing that we're part of the daily routine of owners and professionals committed to equine wellbeing motivates us to keep pursuing quality solutions for horse health.
We sincerely thank our customer for sharing this special experience with us, and for letting us be part of her mare's journey to recovery.
