Testimonials and Reviews

We had a long running problem of severe tail rubbing. Horseman’s was the only one of many consultants to suggest pin worms as the problem. He not only recommended treatment but explained in detail why it had not been detected or cured with regular worm tests. Dr. Byrd was very accommodating when I forgot the kit, called at odd hours, and asked a lot of questions. Our personal contacts and the results has created confidence for continued interaction with him. Reliable and rapid service.

I am responding to this note that was included with my horse’s sample results:
“We have started to use a new system so we can get the results out sooner. We need to check how well it works. If our service is appreciated please go to Horsemen’s Laboratory’s web site www.horsemenslab.com (copy and place in address bar) and place a small message in the client comments.”

I dropped the fecal sample in the mail on Monday and received the results on Thursday! I was also able to have a quick conversation with Dr. John W. Byrd, DVM about my horse’s results and received a clear recommendation.

I value this service very much!

I started using Horseman’s Laboratory in the late 90’s and used it for a few years for my horse and my daughter’s pony. They were both low shedders and never needed worming, and I felt good knowing I wasn’t putting chemicals that they didn’t need in them. I bought multiple kits in advance to save money, since I loved the service so much. Then my life circumstances changed in 2004 and I had to sell my horse and the pony. For more than 10 years I was without a horse or any contact with horses. Then a friend got me back into riding and eventually I got my own horse again. I called Horseman’s Laboratory to subscribe and to my amazement, was told that I still had several kits left on my account. Over 10 years had passed. That’s impressive record keeping!

My new horse is a shedder so I need to worm her frequently and test her more often. Any time I’ve had questions, Dr. Byrd and his staff have been amazing, providing detailed information, giving me advice, and otherwise helping me feel good about my mare’s care. I highly recommend Horseman’s Laboratory and will use the service as long as I have a horse.

I’m very impressed with this company! They provide quick, reliable results with reasonable cost. I mailed my horse’s fecal sample from Florida on a Saturday and received the results on Wednesday. Also, their customer service is above expectations; They quickly remedied a mail -delay problem which I once had. I will continue to use this service and highly recommend to others.

Fast service and now I know what worms my horses have and I have print out I can share with my vet. . I will definitely use this service again to see if I get them under control.
