joint supplements etc for (maybe) arthritic young pony!

[Tiarella]

Any recommendations on supplements or anything else to help with arthritic joints? My little 6 year old we think is arthritic in his right hind, pretty rubbish as I had high hopes for him

Green lipped mussels worked wonders for my old lads arthritis. He had it in his hocks and struggled to pick his feet up to be picked out. Vet recommended retirement as he said he wasn't safe to ride.
10 days on this stuff and he was out hacking again. Marvellous stuff.

NutriScience I tried lots of things on him and it really has made wonders to him ! His windgalls have pretty much dissapeared, he can come underneath himself in canter, he can jump properly, and just goes so much better !

Green lipped mussels are very good too, just turned mine into a monster ! He felt very supple but attidue was not nice !!

Just googled it, sounds good as I like natural stuff. How did you feed it/how many per day?

I got mine from Maxaflex and it is specifically for horses. Haddy was a tb and he was fine on it. No change in attitude.
