Lolly has mild arthritis, she's not lame, but can be very stiff, until warmed up.

Which is the best supplement?

She has been on Cortaflex for 3 years, but I think I need to try something else now!

Have heard good things about Devils Claw!

I recommend cortaflex HA.
I used to use devil's claw, but am changing to Boswellia as I think it is more gentle on the stomach lining.
Cider Apple Vinegar is also recommend for arthritis.

Regular gentle exercise is very good for arthritis as well as keeping the weight off.
 
Ive had brilliant results by using Aviform Suppleaze Gold & Boswellia. Boswellia is gentler on the stomach but stronger than Devils Claw so it acts much faster.

My TB is now completly Danilon free from feeding the above.
 
I Use the NAf devils relief, its devils claw and MSM so does much more than just be a painkiller. I researched this a lot before i decided which one to go for and the Devils relief seems to be the best value , its about 15 pounds for 50 days.
It has really helped my boy with very weak stifles and arthritic changes.
 
I have put this so many times on this forum people will think i am on commission (Which i am not). lol

I put my mare on Blue Chip Dynamic and took her off Cortaflex and the difference is truly amazing it has take 5 years off her. She has arthritis in her spine and finds it hard to work from behind but since going on this feed she has started over reaching which is unbelievable. I cant believe her back feet can get anywhere near her front feet it is brilliant.

It is not just my mare my friend’s 17.2hh 20 year old ex hunter is on it too and is like a spring chicken.
