Buteless, No Bute, Devils claw or something else?

[IamMe]

I have a 27yo Irish gelding that is a little bit doddery on his legs and vets says it's mild arthritis, if we give him proper pain killers he hates round and does himself damage, so i'm after something herbal to help out a bit, what would you suggest? Buteless, No Bute, plain old Devils claw or something else? Thanks

I used to swear by Boswellia with my old horse. It was probably cheaper than the above as you buy it in a pure form, no fillers added.
However I’ve looked recently and the used to be recomended by everyone supplier seems to have disappeared? Rahiqq (I think) maybe someone can suggest a good supplier?

Another vote for boswellia. Mine has arthritis in both coffin and pastern joints and is doing well with boswellia x

Had good results with Devils Claw in the past with both horses and dogs!

Also found boswellia to be effective.

I've used D&H Devils claw successfully in the past, no bulking agents if I remember correctly.

I really like Feedmark joint supplements, they seem to work and they are really helpful if you talk to them (they don't always push the most expensive which I like). I have had good results with their ExtraFlex HA with a few horses.

I have found that boswellia and Devil's Claw (not together) work too.

I’ve been feeding Buteless to my 25yr old which appears to work but I’ve decided to buy Boswellia and make up my own mix. The first ingredient on Buteless superstrength is linseed which I feed anyway so figure I’ll save money by making up my own.

I've been using Harpagyl ,which is devils claw to my 19 year old with hock arthritis, its good value for money and certainly suits him,

I’ve just ordered! What rate do you feed at? Do you find it’s quite palatable for fuss pots?

I'm using Buteless for mine and really rate it - noticeable difference

I give roughly a level dessert spoonful a day. You need to start with just a pinch though, it’s a strong taste. I think the recommended dose is 30g a day for a horse. My horses have all eaten it quite readily.

I do boswellia for mine too and it's got him moving really well now.

Cobbus is a hefty approx 600kg & gets 30ml/day (2 x15ml scoops).

I started him on 1 scoop and built up from there. He's never had an issue eating it.

ETA: He's been on it for just over 2 months now.
