HEAVE HO Equine Respiratory & Immune Support Supplement, 30 Servings

My older mare whom I've had a year now always had a cough or two at the start of a ride, or after a roll in the dusty sand. We are in Colorado where most winters are very wet and the snow keeps the dust down. However, in spring I noticed my mare's cough increase a bit. She also became itchy and gave herself a corneal ulcer from scratching. I started her on Antihist H, and it seemed to work for maybe a month. We hit summer and it didn't rain for nearly a month, and she started to get minor bloody noses. It appeared to be a dust allergy, and her vet recommended antihistamines OR Heave Ho. I decided to go straight to antihistamine pills, and that quieted her down again for another couple months. I also stopped Antihist H. Now it's September, and we still have gotten nearly no rain. The dust is the worst it's ever been in the time I've had her. A few weeks ago, her cough ramped up bad. Flared nostrils constantly- normal respiratory rate, however. I started to get very worried. I was trying everything I could- soaking her hay, cleaning her stall to the bare minimum to keep the dust down inside, increased her antihistamine dose at the vet's recommendation, and even started Cough Free. She didn't want to touch the Cough Free. I managed to convince her by the stuffing the pellets into cookies for a few days, but still saw no improvement and she hated it. I kept her inside for a week, because the dust was worse in the turnout areas (sandy arena and round pens) than in her stall. Then I remembered the vet told me about Heave Ho months ago. I found it on Amazon, the sugar free apple 30 day supply, so I could have it delivered ASAP, even though I was afraid she wouldn't eat it. It came in on Friday and I started the loading dose, morning and evening scoop in a mash I made her. She was actually eating it! After the first day, I mixed it into her morning & evening grain dry. With my schedule I cannot always offer a morning and evening mash, so I mixed it into her grain since the barn gives that to her in the morning and evening. Even dry and in her grain, still she was eating it! Anyways, I started the Heave Ho on Friday. The VERY next day, Saturday, I took my other horse out for a ride and could hear her back in her stall neighing the entire time. She's never been like that, so I had a feeling it meant she wanted to break out of stall jail and was feeling good. After I brought my other horse back, I brought her to turnout despite my hesitation with how dusty it still was. The second I dropped the halter she took off- bucking, farting, full Nascar speed. She didn't stop for 20 minutes, and she never coughed a single time. I was shocked. The only thing I changed was adding the Heave Ho. Sunday and Monday (yesterday) she was also great, back to being herself, and she's quiet as a church mouse today. I usually try not to get my hopes up for supplements, and based on the label I figured I was looking at 14 days or a week at best to see some effects. Nope, the very next day it hit her! She is almost done with the loading dose, and I will be keeping her on Heave Ho forever now. I'm hoping one day I can stop her antihistamine pills, maybe over winter, or we will see how this continues to play out. Thanks Heave Ho!(PS, in my opinion, Heave Ho is a GREAT bang for your buck. The other two supplements I tried a) she hated the taste of and b) didn't work. They were $30. You get what you pay for! Antihistamine pills are costing us nearly $150 a month as well)

Amazing product, amazing customer support and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended, better than the any other otc products we tried. Large pony was IR and PPID

I read reviews and thought i would try it for my horse with Heaves. I noticed a difference in her breathing within a couple days. I now blend an apple with some applesauce and do 1 scoop of Heave Ho and 12 cetirizine tabs. The meds partnered with this product is amazing!!! I will keep buying the apple flavor. Havent tried any other so far.

When it comes to supplements and horses it's hard to determine what will work for yours or not. A lot of trial and error. This product worked alright for my guy, but I ended up getting a different supplement as $60 a month PLUS feed was just getting a bit pricey. I now use cough free from the store.

I bought this for an aged horse and it seems to be working. She breathes much better. Good price and arrived quickly.

We have ordered this product several times and have never had an issue. The lid was a different color it’s supposed to be black it was white and seals were cut and taken off. I will not use this as this could potentially have some issues with the product.

I was hopeful, because my horse has horrible asthma/heaves, but he won’t go near this supplement. He is not a picky eater, but he leaves his grain untouched if this is in there. Wet or dry, doesn’t matter.

After 4 days I could see a difference. The only way I could get her to eat it was mix with molasses and a hand full of sweet feed in each of 2 doses, one 1/2 a dose with morning feeding and the other half a dose in the evening. I have been able to take her off tri-hist and the steroid shots. She still has a little accessory muscle use in ribs, but less then she even had on medications. She was actually running yesterday and has much more energy. No more flaring nostrils or heavy heave line. If you can disguise the taste. That is why I divide the dose, the whole dose seems impossible to hide the taste. Love this product, no longer look out the door when I get up in the morning to see if she is still standing.
