Mag Ox and Turmeric - Help please

[Bertolie]

I currently have my arthritic horse on Progressive Earth's herbs4mobility which contains devils claw, celery seed, meadowsweet, cleavers and nettle. I also feed him cinnamon as vet thinks he could have EMS but we haven't tested him yet.

I was thinking of adding turmeric as I've heard this is very good for arthritic horses but not sure if adding too many different herbs/spices will be counter-productive?

I was also thinking of swapping the cinnamon for mag ox as I've been told this is good for cresty necks and fat deposits. Mag ox is also used as a calmer and, as said horse is extremely laid back at the best of times, I'm not sure how that would affect him? Mag Ox or cinnamon?

Any thoughts?

I'd contact Progressive Earth with your queries if I were you, you're already a customer and they are very knowledgeable

I was told by my vet that cinnamon isn't good for EMS horses but I don't know if that is true or not.

I give my two endurance horses turmeric, they both have bone spavins and it's made so much difference. Zara completed her first 100km endurance ride this year 3 years after having been written off because she was so lame.

If you try turmeric....don't let him give you slobbery kisses afterwards....I learnt the hard way and temporarily turned into a cast member of The Simpsons!
