Our Story
I have had a lifetime commitment to working with horses, JUST LIKE YOU.
Because of our Love of horses, we wanted to share that passion with others. On our journey of life, we started teaching lessons, giving trail rides and birthday party’s, which eventually turned into a Summer Horsemanship Camp. We didn’t just teach them to ride. They would also be the ones feeding, cleaning stalls, and saddling their own horses.
- We grew the facility to house 40 girls coming in each week, with two arenas and riding trails.
- We had 25 older horses between the ages of 20 to 35.
- The horses were the teachers that helped them learn confidence and responsibility.
- During the off seasons we worked with Girl Scouts and traveled to different schools with our Family Horse Buster for educational demonstrations. Managing a large group of camp horses meant that I experienced first hand the digestive challenges they face, especially in the older horses. Living on the facility, I would always see the changes right away.
We lost so many horses to colic in the 15 years of working with the camp. Even though our vet was only 15 minutes from the stable, we were still unable to save them. These older horses are not candidates for surgery. Then it finally happened, our family horse Buster died of impaction colic. That's when we knew there had to be a better solution.

Why SayWhoa! Was Developed by Horse Sense Solutions
Buster was deeply loved and losing him following an impaction colic was devastating. After his loss, I could not stop asking questions. Those questions became the beginning of SayWhoa!
We had girl that came to our Horsemanship Camp every year and would stay 2 to 3 weeks.
I mentioned to her mother how we had lost Buster to Impaction Colic and explained about losing other camp horses. She questioned, why was this happening and what we were doing to help resolve this issue?
At the time, I had no idea that she was a biochemist, which also owned her on lab and produced Hospital Quality Pharmaceuticals.
If normal intestinal movement slows due to drier than normal conditions, those contents may remain in one location longer and it may become progressively drier, especially in the colon.
1. One of the functions of the large intestine is pulling moisture out of the feed they ate, so it can hydrate the horse. So, it is absorbing the water from the intestinal contents.
2. In fact, it may do its job so well, that the ingesta is now sticking to the mucosal lining and drying out making a blockage
The MAIN question behind the development of SayWhoa! was:
How could a nutritional formula support both moisture and normal movement?

How SayWhoa! Works: (summarized)
You give this product orally, which is poorly absorbed by the small intestines. Because it remains largely unabsorbed as it travels to the colon, it establishes a hyperosmotic gradient. This gradient draws water from the surrounding body tissues into the large intestine, moistening the mucosal lining letting go of the ingesta adhere to it, softening the stool and promoting bowel movements
This is what makes the formulation different than anything on the market today.
SayWhoa! was developed in Buster’s Memory, with the hope that other horse owners might have a supportive digestive option available to keep on the shelf. Something that they can depend on when they see signs of distress in their horses. Saywhoa! gives Peace of Mind knowing they have it handy when needed.
