At Windswept Painted Gaits Ranch we started with Spirit Plus about three years ago. The horses love it and they look terrific! We like to keep everything with our horses NATURAL in their training, so it only makes sense to do it with their feed too. We like the fact that it’s not so full of molasses, so it flows freely and smells fresher than some sweet feeds we’ve used in the past. SPN takes it one step further and delivers right to the door, so no more trips to the feed store and more time for riding!! They also keep expanding to bringing us new products. Thanks to the Bircher family for their commitment to our horses and us.

“How tickled I am! I had a fecal done with my horses to see if I needed to deworm, which I never even use to question. I always thought you just had to deworm every 8 weeks, or so. They were literally “worm-free”. There was NOTHING! It was UNBELIEVABLE!
At the vet clinic they said they could not find a thing! Not one thing, not even 1 species of parasite! NOTHING! I am thrilled to pieces over the results my horses & I have experienced with N.O.M.S., SPN Digestion Maximizer, Ground Flax seed, & Free-choice Maximizer from Spirit Plus Nutrition!
I am just starting to realize that a fecal exam is the way to go. I should have been doing it all of these years, you know, 30 years of having horses.
So, I just wanted to share that with you. I am just thrilled to pieces! Maybe you should put that in your newsletter that N.O.M.S. is a great product! Instruct people on how to properly use it along with the SPN Maximizer products, and they will get great results, I am sure!”

I just brought home 2 new horses in Feb, 2005, and even though they were in good shape, I felt their condition needed improvement, so I called Ron and he made a couple of suggestions on supplements for them. In two month's time, their condition has improved considerably. Even the winter coat they had became shiny and soft. One is a two year old Fjord and the other is a yearling Gypsy. Their mane and tails are soft and silky. Hair is very important in the Gypsy and he is developing the most beautiful, thick mane and feather. The hoof condition is strong and hard. Both have filled out nice, without getting fat and they seem very happy with the feed. They play all day and have energy, but are easy going and tame, and very easy to work with. Being young, that is surprising and welcome!! I don't know if the feed has anything to do with that factor, but they weren't that way when they came here and is has to be a contributing cause. Thank You for the products!!

To Mr. Ron Bircher at Spirit Plus Nutrition.
I just wanted to let you know I am wholly committed to your product. Actually, I was convinced by the information from your distributor, Ruth Casserly of SPN Pecatonica, about your products when I met her at the Midwest Horse Fair. On the new regimen of your grain and SPN Digestion Max 25 Pellet my flighty, spooky, spirited mare has settled down on the whole and is getting to her normal weight instead of overly fat. I couldn’t be more pleased, but then I had its value confirmed in an almost magical way.
After losing my husband suddenly, I found myself in the situation of having to take in a few horses for board to make ends meet. One happened to be a severely underweight 18-year-old mare that the owner suspected might end up having to be put down, but the vets had assured the owner nothing was obviously wrong with her. I talked to Ruth about the amount and schedule I should use. I followed her advice and in THREE DAYS you would not have believed it was the same horse. Her head was held high, she actually began to move at a trot (she walked slowly before), and her ribs were no longer prominently showing. I was amazed and when the owner returned to see her in a week, she was so happy she almost cried.
Now it has been three months since the mare was introduced to your program of grain and supplement and she is so good looking my farrier wanted to know when the old mare had died and when I had gotten a new horse. He had been there the second day after the mare arrived and was shocked to find out this was the ‘old mare’. I handed out your (Ruth’s) brochures.
So here is another convert to your program. I thank you for caring for ‘our’ horses and I sincerely hope your business grows so big that your program becomes the ‘standard fare’ for all horses.
Respectfully,
Carol McCauley

We've tried other supplements to improve flexibility and general motion in our older mare, Delight. But even after a brief period of use, Delight is showing more agile movement and less apparent pain. We look forward to continued improvement!

Our Donovan, is a happy, healthy, 5 year old Friesian Sport Horse gelding. He is shown in Competative Driving and Ridden Dressage and doing extremely well. We have people come up to us wherever we have him to compliment us on how beautiful he is. He has been on Spirit Plus for two years. Not only is it a great feed, but we enjoy the convenience of having the supplements included, and the quality of the feed is always consistent. Nothing but raves for the service - Thank you Ron.

We have been absolutely thrilled with the way our two horses have responded to the SPN Senior Maximizer. Targo+ is a 26 year old 1/2 Arabian and Awesome+/ is a 20 year old 1/2 Arabian. Both suffer from Cushings Disease. Awesome+/ has had two bouts with Laminitis and is Diabetic. Targo+ has always had fluctuating insulin levels caused by the Cushings.
A month before meeting Ron Bircher of Spirit Plus Nutrition at the Midwest Horse Fair, Awesome+/ stopped eating the Senior pellet we were feeding him from a leading brand name. He lost weight and we were at a loss as to what to feed him, as everything was either too high in sugar or he just would not eat it. After speaking with Ron at the horse fair he assured me Awesome+/ would eat their product. We decided we had nothing to lose, so I called Ron and he put us in touch with his distributor Ruth Casserly of SPN Pecatonica. Ruth was great, she drove 6 bags of grain all the way down to Somonauk, IL
Within a couple of weeks we had the two horses switched over to the SPN Senior, and not a day has gone by where either of our horses has not cleaned their bowls. Targo+'s insulin levels are now normal and he is off his Thyroid medicine.
We tell everyone about how wonderful the product is and how much our horses love it. People tell us all the time how great the two of them look for their age and both are very active. Targo+ at 26 is still ridden 5 days a week and Awesome+/ is ridden every other day.
We really are grateful to Ron and to Ruth for a wonderful product & wonderful service. Many Thanks!

Hey Ron, "Junior", aka Chekov my horse with Cushings, really likes his new food and is licking up every trace. And over the last few weeks as he's shed out the summer coat and grown in the winter coat he's broken out in dapples all over. Just wanted to let you know how great he looks and how happy he is with your feed. Thanks!!

After trying just about every feed and supplement to keep weight on my 17.3 hh, 20 year old Thoroughbred, Hadley, Ron Bircher, of Spirit Plus Nutrition suggested I try ground food grade flax seed. After only a short time of having Hadley on a combined diet of Spirit Plus Senior Maximizer, top-dressed with a total of 8 oz. of food grade flax seed per day, everyone began to notice a dramatic difference in Hadley. Not only was Hadley putting on the weight he needed, his hair coat also improved dramatically. Hadley also had a golf ball size tumor on the dock of his tail. After a short time of feeding food grade flax seed, I noticed the tumor getting smaller in size. After further research, it was brought to my attention that flax seed has the ability to reduce tumor size up to 50 percent. Hadley’s tumor is now completely gone! I continue to feed food grade flax seed and Spirit Plus Senior Maximizer to Hadley and his 26 year old pasture mate. The change it has made in the way they look is unbelievable! Thank you Spirit Plus!!
Very satisfied Spirit Plus users,

My horse, Murphy, is an appendix QH and lives in WI. He lives outdoors all year long, never in a stall. Every winter, he’s had trouble keeping weight on, and then in the spring, he has trouble shedding out. Since I board him, I don’t have as much control over his living situation as I would like. So this winter, I decided to blanket him after he had grown a decent winter coat, and I consulted Ron from Spirit Plus about his weight issues. Ron suggested some of the food-grade ground flax seed, the SPN Digestion Max. 25 Pellet, and I also opted for N.O.M.S. = for nutritional support against parasites. This winter, he’s done great! He gained about 75 pounds after I put him on Ron’s suggested supplements, and fleshed out to a healthier normal weight. His spirit, energy and temperament also improved, and he has a wonderful gloss and shine to his coat. He is also shedding out normally this year, the first time ever. This gives me so much peace of mind knowing that what he needs nutritionally, is what he’s getting. Thanks Ron for helping my horse finally get the nutrition that he needs, and making it easy and affordable to do so!
