I always try and tell people! You canāt just throw supplements at topline. Thatās not how muscle making work. Thatās not how order of operations works. Itās not a topline supplement. Itās not work with bungees and contraptions. Listen!
Poor topline is very rarely a protein problem, and this is one of the most expensive misunderstandings in the horse world.
Topline is what a body builds when it has surplus. It is not essential for survival. Before a horse spends resources on muscle over the back, that body will fund every survival system that outranks it. Immune function. Blood sugar regulation. Organ maintenance. Inflammation control.
When you see a topline disappear, you are usually not looking at a horse who is short on protein. You are looking at a horse whose body has quietly defunded things that are not vital because something more urgent is consuming their resources.
The real question is rarely how do I build topline? It is what is this body spending the protein, aminos acids, and minerals on instead, and why?
Tag someone who has been chasing a topline for a year or more. This one might land differently.

Just added for our latest bundle!!!!
We are so incredibly greatful to Natalia of Sync Equestrian for offering to add in a pair of her viral Dragon Rhinestone Full Seat Breeches (in Black)!! š„¹š„¹š„¹ a 165$ value, these are the breeches everyone is talking about. And while I havenāt been lucky enough to try them myself yet, everyone reports back that they are high-quality, well-made and unique style pieces that combine function (pockets!!!) with fashion.
Put that with an Ecogold āCool Fitā Jumper pad, with a CoolFitā¢ underside layer and unique air-flow vent system, ECOGOLDās CoolFitā¢ Saddle Pad is engineered to quickly dissipate heat and moisture away from the horseās body and
An OS stamped Beval Gladstone plain, flat hunter bridle. Perfect for schooling, the hunt field, or the trail of any kind, let the vintage Gladstone line carry you with some of the finest English leather you can no longer buy! It suits a large warmblood or draft size horse. Can you imagine it on yours?
Thank you for the tack donations, Stephanie P!

Friends of new and old! I have an incredible opportunity to help a pregnant mare in need of a soft landing and new pasture by Sept 24. We are about halfway towards the goal to secure her and baby and am asking for YOUR PARTICIPATION! We have 8 SMASHING raffle offerings (who knows maybe a bonus one coming?!) donated by community members. You have the chance of not only winning some incredible items, services, and experiences- but also knowing you helped another living creature ā¤ļø several, actually.
How it works: tickets are 10$ each or buy 4 get the 5th for 1$! 100% of ticket prices (after the cost of the item subtracted if purchased) goes towards bringing this beautiful girl home and her prenatal care. Updates will be posted and winners will announced on Sept 23 via the LIVE function šš“ and we are looking to pick her up on the 24. Itās a raffle, not an auction, so not to worry about high bods- instead, just comment on the bundle picture the number of tickets you wish to purchase. Cash, Venmo, or Zelle are accepted, and transparency is priority: all funds are documented and directly going towards securing the Gold (Medal Mare)! Formal name TBD by a very special sponsor. Could it be you?
This is the lowest tier of support (but no less important!!) in sponsoring this adventure. Donāt want to gamble or just feel called to support in a bigger way? For this, I have structured explicit sponsorship perksāranging from private
behind-the-scenes updates, social media promotion, and a 1:1 grooming session with BABY starting at $250, up to full barn naming rights, branding/promotion of your brand, VIP invitations to foaling, major life events, priority notifications and exclusive private content and SO MUCH MORE for a major partner. Ever want to name a horse? Be a Godparent and part of the journey without the financial obligation and stress of ownership? This is the perfect one-in-a lifetime opportunity you canāt afford to miss out on!! We have the land, the labor, and the resources to give this mare a 5* home where she can glitter like the Gold Medal Mare she is. Can I count on you to help me secure her fate today?
No ticket purchase is too small, and the more you buy the more statistics is in your corner and says your probability of winning goes up with every ticket! THANK YOU for participating and may the odds be ever in your favor ššš“
Welp I promised myself that it would be like a 5min convo and we clock in at close to 11 smh but itās REALLY important and I guess I needed to decompress. I have already spoken with show staff who promised to tell the appropriate higher ups. Will they take the feedback and care? Anybodyās guess, wouldnāt hold my breathā¦ I have submitted a formal written complaint as well online to USEF who is responsible for the Steward at the show not the actual show staff. Like I said- the situation was completely mishandled from the beginning when she spoke to the underage child and essentially told her that she was starving her horse and abusing it, because of what went on in the social media this last week regarding an emaciated horse that was showing. TBH looks like half the horses at the riding school in SĆ£o Paulo I was at HĆpica Manege Alphaville whoops time I spilled that teacup I guess too. Where they made old 30yo school horses go round for rich peopleās kids and rode her into her grave. A body score of 1. THATās emaciated and Itās not ok in any country or context to ride a horse without the muscle, condition, coordination, and vestibular/neural/cognitive soundness to comfortably do so. A body score of 1-2 is not a riding horse. There are horses with 4-5 body scores that are just as unsuitable for ridden work being ridden.
The steward, if she had concerns, needed to follow protocol and telling a 16yo she is starving and abusing her horse (which she was not and the horse was not close to emaciatedā¦ for the record) is not it, USEF. Just another reason you are losing following. I think itās actually a good thing- such a dumpster fire sh*tshow at literally every show and most every case is mishandled or too little too late. Now I think we are going to push the āobese horseā as the image of a āhealthy horseā and no one is going to be allowed to show if it doesnāt look like a fcking whale.
Also- the main rant: telling me we were abusing the horses by braiding them in the shade AND SENDING US IN THE SUN AT 1:30PM IN 100 DEGREES a quarter mile back to the trailers was also NOT the right play. She was concerned that the shade next to ring, next to the tents with fans, was ātoo hot for themā and apparently she needs new glasses because the shade was not āin the sunā as she alleged. What was in the ever loving sun was where she sent us to, hellās front yard. Not cool, USEF, not cool. And quite frankly quite unacceptable and a complete admission of incompetence. We need to seriously think and establish what body condition is allowed to show, how to determine that, and who makes that call before we start telling underage CHILDREN that they are abusing their horses and not feeding them. Cannot believe this !!
