Joint Suppliment Question

[fuzz]

After reading the other posts on joint suppliments its made me wonder if I should start using it for prevention.

My fell is 17, tends to be on the heavy side, been a showjumping pony in the past and now does a bit of everything with me. She does tend to get slightly stiff if she hasn't been worked for a couple of weeks, but it always goes away after regular work. Have thought about giving her a suppliment for prevention but never done anything about it as I don't know much about joint suppliments.

Whats peoples opinion on using suppliments for prevention, if I should start using joint suppliments and what suppliments people use.

Thanks and sorry this is turning long.

Hi i feed feedmarks Flexamine as Lucy has spavins in both hocks. She is atleast 20 now and i started feeding it to her when she was atleast 15. But before she developed her problems i fed cider vinager and veg oil just to help her joints. Suplements can be expencive (but i find flexamine does work) that is why i just fed oil before there was a prob.
