I received this email yesterday. THE QUESTION here is: WHY WOULD I WANT to use such product?????
What is wrong with having an HONEST horse........ IF the horse does not have the QUALITIES..... then bred for horses with qualities that will not need STIMULANTS of any kind........to perform. Why do we need to continue inventing.........IS THIS A RESPONSIBLE ACT to do, as a breeder...or COMPETATIVE?
I WILL LIKE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION ON THIS...........
Alternative to anabolic steroids!
Body Builder™
World renowned with every breed.
Don't go for cheap imitations,use the "ORIGINAL" Body Builder
Sold by Equiade, Inc.
Body Builder the first and
always the best product of its kind!
Our main ingredient is based on a high grade rice extract Gamma Oryzanol (pharmaceutical grade rice bran oil). There is a limited supply of this special Gamma Oryzanol and since our company was the first to use it we get most of the supply. Many other products use a cheap grade of Gamma Oryzanol from China in powdered form. Since it is so impure it is cheaper and this makes their costs lower but also makes their product less effective.
Here are some of the beneficial effects some of our customers have reported in their animals from use of Body Builder
A dietary supplement and natural, oral alternative to
anabolics.
Unique muscle building supplement
”World renowned with every breed”
• Increased Muscle Mass
• Increased Calmness, Less Nervousness
• Healthier Animal
• Increased Fertility in Males and Females
• Increased Strength and Energy
• Better Performance in Racing
These effects are due to the chemical composition of the Gamma Oryzanol molecule. It is a plant sterol which is similar in structure to steroids but has none of the dangerous side effects. It is a natural alternative that doesn’t test.

I know nothing about this product, but my initial reaction is, "Oh, goodie! Another way for a whole whack of people to CHEAT!"

I agree Jane!
Anabolic steroids, or anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), are a class of steroid hormones related to the hormone testosterone. They increase protein synthesis within cells, which results in the buildup of cellular tissue (anabolism), especially in muscles. Anabolic steroids also have androgenic and virilizing properties, including the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics such as the growth of the vocal cords and body hair. The word anabolic comes from the Greek: anabole, "to build up." and the word androgenic comes from the Greek: andros, "man" + genein, "to produce."
Anabolic steroids were first isolated, identified and synthesized in the 1930s, and are now used therapeutically in medicine to stimulate bone growth and appetite, induce male puberty, and treat chronic wasting conditions, such as cancer and AIDS. Anabolic steroids also produce increases in muscle mass and physical strength, and are consequently used in sport and bodybuilding to enhance strength or physique. Serious health risks can be produced by long-term use or excessive doses of anabolic steroids. These effects include harmful changes in cholesterol levels (increased low-density lipoprotein and decreased high-density lipoprotein), acne, high blood pressure, liver damage, and dangerous changes in the structure of the left ventricle of the heart. Some of these effects can be mitigated by exercise, or by taking supplemental drugs.[2][3]
Non-medical uses for anabolic steroids are controversial, because of their adverse effects and their use to gain weight and potential advantage in competitive sports.
The use of anabolic steroids is banned by all major sporting bodies, including the International Olympic Committee, Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, WWE, ICC, ITF, FIFA, FINA, UEFA, the European Athletic Association, and the Brazilian Football Confederation. Anabolic steroids are controlled substances in many countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (U.S.), while in other countries, such as Mexico and Thailand, they are readily available over-the-counter.
In countries where the drugs are controlled, there is often a black market in which smuggled or counterfeit drugs are sold to users. The quality of such illegal drugs may be low, and contaminants may cause additional health risks. In countries where anabolic steroids are strictly regulated some have called for less regulation.

Your serious health risks description doesn't mention the effects on personality. The users up here (affectionately called "roids monkeys") are known for their serious loss of emotional control. They get angry for no apparent reason, and because they take the 'roids in order to become pumped up versions of men, they also tend to be the kind of guy who will USE that body to hurt others when the mood hits.
Nooooooo, I am not a fan of 'roids. Nope. Not even a little bit ... and I can't imagine a horse on 'em! Don't want to be around THAT animal ... ever!

I agree...what is wrong with the horses being what they're born to be? I've always found that to be spectacular.

Bingo, Kerry!
I have two horses that LOOK like they're on steroids. But they're Fjords, so it's all good. They are genetically predisposed to those heavy muscles and their personalities are solid -- CALM and solid, just as the BREED dictates.
I just don't get it. If you want a horse with big, heavy muscles, BREED for it. Don't mess with some poor horse's natural body ... and normal, non-psychotic head.
