Best Pain Relief/Joint Supplement for arthritis in elderly pony.

[leanneq]

Hi,

I am looking for some advice on the best natural pain relief supplement for a pony with arthritis. Since Xmas time she developed boney changes on her knee and also suffers from very mild arthritis in her back legs. She is in her early forties now, but otherwise in perfect health and enjoys life.

Just looking for something that will help with the pain as I have noticed the last few mornings she has been stiffer than normal. Any advice on products you have used with success for similar symptoms would be much appreciated. Would prefer to try something more natural before having her on bute full time.

Thanks

Turmeric. This works on some horse and not on others . Totally natural and cheap.

Erin What dosage of Boswellia do you use. I have a mare with Navicular and have tried the Turmeric mixture which she is still on but I was thinking of using some thing else too.

I've heard good things about rosehips, I understand that studies in people found a reduction in arthritic pain. Saf has the D&H ones as she's a working veteran.
