Personally? I feed it to all my horses, specifically to my three EMS to support leptin resistance and IR, and also to Carms, my TB, to support muscle tightness as she's officially 2/10 lame (although she'd like to disagree).

Meanwhile, Dr Kellon has also posted on the benefits of feeding ALCar to our horses in her Dr K's Horse Sense series - Acetyl-L-Carnitine – The Powerful, Versatile Nutrient You Never Heard Of and Acetyl L-Carnitine for Horses

Composition: 100% pure Acetyl L Carnitine

Feed: 2g/100kg bodyweight per day, i.e. 10g for a 500kg horse.

I have a pony who has turned the most massive corner after introducing the advice you gave into her feed.. wow!!No more starving pony trying to eat me, no more scraping walls, kicking, biting and generally making me lose the will to live! After getting a set of X-rays done and a date with the farrier, both he and the vet asked directly if I had her sedated ... that’s what it felt like. Relaxed, happy to oblige pony. I know we have a long road ahead but without your help and advice I’d be lost!!! A million Thanks from me and Lotti!
