I think that Dodson and Horrell's mobility worked well for Domino - its herbal with devils claw and nettles etc in it, not glucosamine or MSM based.

I use Equiform Nutritions Easy Joint....... Merlin has a terribly arthritic fetlock and it keep him sound.... at least I hope its that!!! Oterwise I am wasting my money buying any supps

Equine answers Premier flex is very good. More concentrated than cortaflex and contains hyraluronic (sp??) acid which promotes healthy synovial fluid production. Only available on-line but is good value for money

Naf Superflex and Feedmark HA one are the only ones I'd feed. My boy is currently on Naf Superflex as a maintenance measure

Equimins do a good range & reasonably priced. Work well, too.

I would say it depends what you're looking for!? What are you treating? General wear and tear or visible stiffness?

I did use Cider Vinegar to help my horse which was beneficial but as he's got older he's shown more signs of stiffness so is now on NAF 5* with good results. My dad's horse is also on it as his joints click very badly and this helps too.

In your situation I would feed a good all round broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement plus good grass (or good hay/haylage/chaff if on box rest). The body will do the rest.

I am giving my boy Cosequin - he has had an op. on his stifle for torn meniscus, and he is now sound. I did loads of research on joint supplements and Cosequin has been scientifically tested....the downside is the price, but once you are past the loading dose stage a pot lasts for months.
