Joint Supplement

[Happy Bird]

Happy Friday all
My mare is 8 and suffers very occasionally with locking stife. She is also a tiny bit stiff when she comes out of her box ~ I'm not concerned ~ think she's just getting older. Am thinking about giving her a joint supplement (vet said it certainly won't hurt!). There seems to be a million different products. Should I just stick with good old cod liver oil ?? Or try a superflex type supplement ? Ideas please. Thanks

I am very pleased with NAF superflex, have also used in the past Equistro Chondril and it has been brilliant.

If you want a fantastic joint supplement at a very reasonable price you cant go far wrong with Equine America's Glucosamine 10,000 plus MSM which contains 10,000 mg 99% pure glucosamine hydrochloride plus 1650 mg of MSM per 30 gram serving. It is always getting recommendations of people on this site. I use for my horse with bone spavin as I read mild bone spavin responds brilliantly to MSM.

I was recommended Suppleaze Gold on this forum. It's very competitively priced and has all the key ingredients, including MSM as applecart rightly mentions.

My horse has improved very noticeably since being on it.

i recommend Feel Good 30 i use this for my 15year old mare who can be a bit stiff when she first comes out of the stable and i find this really helps her movment and everything
i did try cod liver oil but found it didn't make that much of a differance

mine is on the Equine America Glucosamine supplement! Its worked really well for him!

Sharks cartilage!!! It works wonders for using such a small amount.

Fair enough you have to add treacle or mint oil to cover the smell/taste but on a small measure a day Kia is looking fantastic!!! Shame the bucks have improved tho lol!!!

I used one that I thought was good, until I needed to cut costs and tried Cortaflex and I cannot believe the difference in my horse. He is alot looser and canters off down the field when you turn him out . I am also saving about £60 every four months.

IO second this - my boy is amazing on it & it works out at £90 a year for a 500kg horse, lots cheaper than most
