My horses love the muscle max bars and I continue to feed the bars post exercise as I can see the improvement in their muscle development. I like that the horse sees them as a treat but they are nutritionally beneficial as well. Amanda Weare
I will admit I was a bit on the fence to start off with. But I have no problems at all. I have noticed a difference in a very short time, I had no problem introducing them to my horse, he has even started looking for some after every ride! Definitely goes to show don't knock it until you try it.
my horse doesn’t like the taste at all so I can’t really review the product itself , I dislike the packaging, would make a lot more sense to have 1 bar per wrapper as the two bars have melted together
For best results, feed the Muscle Max Bar to your horse or pony within 15 minutes of completing exercise.
NOTE: To see visible muscle building and conditioning results within three weeks, feed your horse the ‘heavy work’ feeding rate at least three times a week.

Introduce Muscle Max Bar to your horse when they are relaxing in the yard or stable as you would a treat. Break off small pieces of Muscle Max Bar and hand feed them to horse as you would a sugar cube, allowing the horse to adjust to the texture of the bar. If your horse is still hesitant to eat the Muscle Max Bar, below are a few suggestions to help get your horses to eat the bars:
Break up some very small, sugar cubed-sized pieces of the bar. Mix the piece in your hand with some of their usual pellet feed. Then, hand feed your horse and see if they’re happy to eat the pieces of the bar this way. If they are, then slowly reduce the amount of feed mixed in. Soon, they’ll be eating the bar on its own. If this doesn’t work, try using some liquorice, or another treat you know your horse loves. Cut the treat up the same size as the pieces of the bar and mix them together in your hand, hand feed them again this way.
If your horse won’t eat it from your hand at all. Then leave a few of the small pieces of the bar on top of their feed in their feed bin overnight. In the morning, if the pieces of bar are gone, then you know that they will eat the bar, you just have to train them to eat it from your hand now.
If you have another horse nearby that you know loves the taste of the Muscle Max Bar, feed that horse while yours misses out. If your horse is easily motivated by jealousy then this is an acceptable way to get them to eat the bar.
Soak small pieces of the Muscle Max Bar in warm water. Then, mix the pieces in with a little bit of chaff, making the bar look more like traditional horse feed. Once they eat this and get the taste through their mouth, put some small pieces of unsoaked bar into the mix. See if they’ll eat the unsoaked bar, if they do, then offer the small pieces of bar from your hand.
Molasses stimulates insulin production which in turn, draws protein into your horse’s muscles. The sweetness of the molasses also makes the bar highly palatable for your horse.
Whey Protein Isolate is the highest quality, natural source of protein available. It’s rich in branched-chain amino acids, which are essential for muscle repair.
L-Glutamine is a major structural component of muscle. It provides the building blocks for muscle building.
Pepitas provide the Muscle Max Bar with a crunchy texture, encouraging your horse to chew.
The sesame seed paste binds the ingredients within the Muscle Max Bar together, making it both a nicer texture for your horse, and a convenient bar.
