Just started my lab on Riaflex Joint Plus HA as it has amazing reviews and fantastic levels of ingredients. My question is has anyone tried feeding Boswellia to their dog. I'm looking at adding this in alongside but when I tried it on my horses years ago I know they wouldn't eat it.

Riaflex is far higher spec than Yumove and also much more cost effective. Definately worth looking at :). www.riaflex.co.uk

I have re located and I'm desperately searching for a show jump trainers north somerset area. Needs to be experienced. I have a youngster coming up through the ranks. Currently at discovery level because of age. Aiming for 1. 30m tracks long term. Any recommendations please

Conformational issues can be overlooked. No horse is 100% straight. However, what would concern me is that she has a uni lateral issue behind with 1 leg not acting correctly this suggests to me that there is an underlying issue that may rear it's ugly head when you push her harder with...

Before I forget there was a post on one of the other forums FAO Sharron Taylor. As apparantly the e mail for her was not accepting replies. Don't know if this is any help to anyone!

Hi there, I am so sorry to hear that you have had no reply. I know that she replies within a few hours of any e mails she receives so I would say that she hasn't received your mail. Try again if you have time I'm sure you will get through. If she doesn't reply it's because your message isn't...

Some people are possibly better at explaining themselves in writing than others. I will in future take more time to explain in more depth what I am saying. It's new to me so obviously I need to improve my method. Apologies to anyone else who have found my replies to be to basic. I am working on it

Fair comments and I completely agree with regards to journals etc. Perhaps the website should log them? I too feel passionately about how so many people are taken for a ride on joint supplements. I find it quite disturbing that often companies hugely under dose with consumers unaware due to lack...

sorry, thought that would sound worse. Thanks for the advice. Will do this next time

I think the web site is meant to provide you with information so you can make a more educated decision and understand what to look for on all equine joint product labels. All the info provided is scientifically proven so aims to make these subjects a little clearer for the equine lover. I guess...

No I'm not the therapsit but know them. Just trying to help them out. Obviously gone about it in the wrong way. Sorry if this came across too enthusiastically. But I do believe it does have useful info on there regardless of products.

You haven't said whether DJD has been specifically diagnosed. It is important that you know whether this is a muscular/tendon injury or a DJD. If you use bute and it is a muscular injury you can do more harm than good.This will mask the pain so the horse will work in a more normal fashion...

I am not stating that all chiropractic work is damaging. They do have their place. However, the pelvis is a structure not designed to have excesive movememnt in the SI. Essentially this structure is held together and functions via an extensive ligament structure amongst the obvious musculature...

Hi, sacroiliac damage is irreversible but not necessarily a huge problem. Under no circumstances should you trot up steep hills as this particualr gait places huge strain on the pelvis. Either walk up them or canter up them. Yes you should definately get a physio out. By the sounds of him being...
