JOINT SUPPLEMENTS - sorry bit boring !!

[dane07]

my boy has just been to ashbrook and he has problems with his coffin joints, the vet has told me to give him joint supplement, can anyone recommend any ?

 

[donablue]

glaucosamine or cider vinergar ive been told
as mine suffers with his joints

 

[samuelhorse]

anything with glucosamine (hydrochloride as opposed to sulphate as absorbed better) at rate of 10g per 500kg horse.
Newmarket joint supplement is very pure, cortavet is 5 times stronger than the cortaflex and also is very good.
Hope your boy is okay, xx

Cortaflex is a good place to start. There are other more potent ones to move up to in the future.

I replied to your previous post. Ella (my big mare with arthritis of the coffin joint) has been on Feedmark's ExtraFlex HA for 15 months. When she was diagnosed, I looked at all the levels in loads of supplements and Feedmark's came up trumps - not to mention they usually have offers on. Website is here

My 7 y/o gending who has osteoarthritis in his pastern has Mobifor, it has everything in it and seems to be doing him a lot of good, he's been totally sound since being on it.

oh yes thanks jaylen ! ive heard mix reviews about cortaflex but i suppose its trial and error with him as they are all different x thanks everyoen x

Cortaflex did nothing for my old boy with high articular ringbone. Riaflex Complete took 10 years off his age and has kept him hunting fit for the last two years - and hopefully for the next two!! (He's 18)

glucosamine had good results on my old horse but Im using devils claw at the moment with fabulous results, for inflamation/arthritis etc.

Cosequin is amazing and has kept my boy going strong!!!
