Does anybody make joint supplements in treat form?

My retired mare is starting to look a bit stiff behind and I would like to give her glucosamine, chondroitin or similar but it would be so much easier if that was available in an easy-to-feed form like a treat/biscuit. Does anybody make something like that? I can't find it as an option.

Mare lives out 24/7 with three others at my parents' home and they don't generally receive hard feed. I would ideally like to avoid having to bring her in to feed her separately... will do that if necessary of course, but I was envisioning a sort of equi-bite style option which would make life much easier. Surely it exists in this day and age?!

Seen it for dogs but not for horses unfortunately! Horslyx do a mobility field lick type thing that looks to contain glucosamine? Maybe an idea?

Don't know if this is any use, it's not quite a treat sized pellet, so much as a pelleted balancer size, but you can certainly feed it from your hand easier than a powder!

If you click on the red PDF button, it'll give you the full specs and ingredients etc.
Surprised they don't do a treat sized joint supplement, I checked Kramer as I know they do treat sized balancer nuggets, which were handy when I had my two living out in a herd.
