any of you use a joint suplement if so which is best?

I am looking for the above.... dot mind if it is expensive as long as it is quality. My new boy 17 and although is spritely he loves jumping and i just want to prevent any in the foreseeable future. anyway you thoughts please!!

The 10 000 glucosamine plus msm from equine america is good. Cheaper the cortaflex and does the same job really. My vet reccommended it to me after my horse had a fetlock injury.

Glucosamine and MSM - Can get the powder from health food shops and on line at a reasonable price

I use cortaflex, and cod liver oil. If you are looking at supplements have a look at horse health.co.uk, not necessarily the cheapest but have a good range for reading up on and comparing.

I find feedmark give excellent advice, my boy has weak conformation behind, and though only seven, I give him a quarter dose of Glucosamine when he is stabled at night, more if in 24/7 , this is preventative, if he were 17 and had had a competitive life or any signs of stiffness, I would go for glucosamine, msm and rosehip at full rate when stabled, third rate when out.
Cost out the supplements at a daily rate assuming you buy in largest tub.
Feedmark offer big discounts, so you need to make sure you take full advantage.
special code in last weeks H&H give 40% off

I'm glad I looked at this. I have been using Naf Superflex but have no idea if it's doing any good. My boy is 20 now and is still a total jumping machine, so needs a little help. Am going to do some more research I think!
