I'd be interested to know why the friend is changing products. If Prescend is working I'd stay with it because Freestep is pricey in all its forms. I know drugs stop working so efficiently the longer they are used and Cushings does progress slowly so maybe another approach is needed.

My pony contracted Cushings while on freestep!!!! I moved her onto prascend and she was doing really well (until it all went pear shaped 2 months ago and she had to be PTS!!!) she was only 10. If prascend is keeping the horse stable then I personally wouldn't be changing it as that could cause a flare up in its own right.

Yes. I couldn't believe she had it. She was 9 when tested positive. She was on the FS for laminitis when she tested positive.

i didnt swop from plasend to freestep but freestep saved my horses life and i swear by the stuff now. The hard part like with plasend is getting the dosage right. I would ring them thay are excellent and helped me every step of the way with my mare we are now 6mths on she looks fab and is sound.

we have 3 on Prascend ,, and to be honest whilst it isnt cheap , i dont think that i would change without a guarantee that Freestep would work at the same level ,,,, it could be very exspensive at the cost of the ponies life ,,,, dramatic i know but is it worth trying to change,,,,
