DRESSAGE

Jane Hannigan, US World Cup Rider, Team Matrix Member

“Mak had a tendency to be tense and rather spooky. So, we tried the Mushroom Matrix and he’s calmer and taking the training better. In addition, he’s building more muscle. In fact, he’s packing on the muscle to the point that someone asked me what I was doing that was so different and I said that I had put him on the Mushroom Matrix. Mak has been feeling stronger and stronger and is really able to handle the work. I can now ride him a couple times a day, whereas in the past, it would be one hard work out and that was it.

I’d absolutely recommend the Mushroom Matrix to other people. A horse that needs to be really focused and needs help with the emotional side of the training can certainly benefit.”

1)       After 4 weeks on MRM one of my top Grand Prix horses who has been plagued by pain associated with laminitis, is now for the first time in 3 years completely sound on the foot that has pedal bone rotation.  I cannot tell you how impressed (overjoyed) I am by this development.

2)      After only 2 weeks on ECP, one of my top GP horses who is famous for nerve problems, in particular ‘shivering syndrome’, showed remarkable calmness and steadiness at a high pressure World Cup qualifier. 

3)      Two weeks later, a sarcoid on the same horse which has slowly enlarged over a period of 4 years, has begun to disappear!

4)      I’m taking the human Mushroom Matrix  supplements myself and can honestly say that my energy level and general alertness is the best it has ever been. I feel 10 years younger, especially in my mind. In the face of ever aggressive flu viruses and controversial vaccines, I am relieved to take a powerful immune modulator that will help my body fight these various bugs  especially during the winter season.

I have a maniacal, habitual weaver in my stable.  This is a nervous habit that like cribbing and wind sucking is considered dangerous to the horse’s health.  A typical weaver stands in his box and relentlessly weaves his head, neck and shoulders from side to side when he is stressed or nervous.  This horse has been in training for 9 months and not one single day has gone by without him weaving and tearing up his box.  He often runs his face back and forth across the bars of his box.  I told my manager to put him on ECP yesterday.  She gave him a scoop at lunch and one at dinner.  THE HORSE DID NOT WEAVE LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 9 MONTHS.  Nor did he weave today.  I continue to be amazed!

“I started feeding the Mushroom Matrix to one of my stallions in hopes that it would help keep weight on him during breeding season. It seems to be working. And so, I’m now trying it on other stallions.”

 “Using the Muscle Matrix product has helped to keep one of my stallions in top condition without affecting his temperament. It has a fantastic effect not only on muscle development but also for muscle recovery after strenuous work.”

 Jennifer Hoffman, 2008 Young Horse World Championship, Team Matrix Member

 “I have searched long and hard to try and find a supplement which would give my horses the focus, confidence and attentiveness I need both in the competition ring and daily in training. This is definitely a product you do not want to be without!!”

Meg Walsh, Mushroom Matrix Customer

 “I have a horse that has some back issues due to a poor fitting saddle. I started him on the Muscle Matrix and it has been very helpful in the healing of the tissue damage caused by the saddle. I am very pleased with your products. Keep up the great work!”

 Birgit Villeminey, Mushroom Matrix Customer

 “I rode with George Williams this weekend, and it was a HUGE difference from the last clinic in October before using Mushroom Matrix. Instead of dealing with spooking, we could actually work on flying changes!”

Helen McNaught, US Grand Prix Rider and Trainer, Team Matrix Member

“My horses finished 6 weeks in Thermal as fresh and sound as they started. Our clients all commented on the difference in the horses they were riding since they’ve been on the ‘Matrix’ program. We were feeding less grain week 6 than week 1!!! Incredible. The feet were growing faster and stronger. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed it. Anyone who knows me, knows how ‘hands on’ I am. I noticed a huge difference. Thank you for your support, a great deal of the success myself, Duncan and our clients had, in my opinion, is because of the help of Mushroom Matrix.”

Lauren and Marsha Hester, Hester Equestrian, CA

“I’ve always fed my horses the absolute best feed, but since they have been on Mushroom Matrix I have seen a huge improvement in their overall health and well-being. They are just happier horses and beyond their willing attitudes, they have beautiful, shiny, healthy coats.  They just look so alive!”

Susan Hutchinson, US Olympic Grand Prix Rider, Team Matrix Member

“Our horses are constantly traveling and having to cope with the stress of responding to new situations. The Matrix products have been a key part of our barn’s program to keep performance and focus at the optimum.”

Michelle Parker, US Grand Prix Rider, Team Matrix Member

“We double dose the Performance Matrix during the long show series and it really helps keep the energy and recovery of our horses to get out there and jump the big jumps – even after 4 or 6 long weeks on the road. It has made a measurable difference in all of our horses.”

“Cody has to work super hard . . . . his joints take a beating, but since he’s been a Matrix horse we don’t inject his hocks or anything!”

Hawley Bennett, Canadian Team Olympian, Team Matrix Member

“The Performance Matrix product has made a huge improvement in the performance of the horses in our barn. We see the difference in the recovery times of our horses after strenuous workouts. We can feel the difference but we can see it as well in the improvements overall performance and health.”

RACING

Carl  Nazfger

“The Mushroom Matrix isn‟t about looking for a quick fix. It‟s about overall health. What I look for in a nutritional product is that it helps the horse stay healthier because a healthier horse performs better and rebounds faster. This product doesn‟t make them run faster, but a healthy horse runs more consistent and recovers quicker because the horse‟s system is not as stressed.”

 Ian Wilkes, TB Race Trainer

 “Giving our young horses an all natural, organic solution that increases performance and helps them to recover after racing allows us to focus on training the horse.”
