Pretty much as the title says :)

Can't afford glucosamine, but something similar would be ideal! It's more of a pre-emptive thing now horse is 10, rather than any specific issue.
 
Good old household spice... Tumeric... Fantastic stuff and a lot of positive and credible research if you google it.

i feed this, less than 2 pounds a bag from asda - less online.

Also i go to natural horse supplies. Their stuff is far cheaper, and far more sure than the stuff in the shops.

Their boswellia, glucosamine, msm mixed transformed my boy. And a friend of mines mare who was going to be pts due to stiffness and soreness is now cantering and back in work!

Linseed is great too.
 
I used to give cortaflex -but after mine got a spavin and it had ****** all effect I stopped buying it, I started feeding micronised linseed for their coats as my welsh always looked dull and horrible, Interesting thing I have noticed is that their joints are much better on it too, as well as gleaming coats, at £22 for 20kg which is a 4 month supply for 3 horses I will stick with it!!
 
I use suppleaze gold on dougie. Have a look at my pics on my fb on the dougie albums. I was watching vids from dec 12 of him dressaging compared to him in april 13 - the changes are actually immense. We are also up fully running with our jumpinf again thanks to supp eaze gold :D :D
 
I use this:

Haven't been using it long so not sure how effective it is - but at £40 for 5 months' supply (10 months if you have a pony!) I figured it was worth a shot. A friend swears by VetVits MSM and VetVits Equiflex, and I've also heard good things about Suppleaze Gold - that's what I'll try next if the glucosamine doesn't work. Last time my vet visited she recommended the Newmarket Joint Supplement as well as apparently it has more scientific backing than some of the others available (doesn't mean others don't work, just that this is more likely to be effective).
