Joint Supplement

[juliecwuk]

I am looking into feeding my old mare a joint supplement, i have noticed she seems a bit stiff in the front shoulders, shes 23 so i wouldnt be suprised if she has some arthritis going on in there.

any recommendations? nothing too expensive to start with i think, then if no improvement ill try something more expensive! lol!

I give my old man pernamax. It is quite expensive, £26.95 for 30 days supply but its worked well for him.

I use the Top spec joint supplement costs 30.00 ish am happy with it

Another vote for pernamax.... I've been using it for 4 years now and find the stuff wonderful for my horse who has arthritic pasterns.

A lot of people swear by Pernamax but it is at the more expensive end of the price range. It also comes in fishy / minty tablet form and I struggled to get my two to eat them, either whole or crushed.

If you're just after a basic precautionary joint supplement then you can do a lot worse than ordinary Cortaflex.

We used Equiform Easy Joint Liquid and had excellent results.

How about trying Apple Cider Vinegar? have mine on it, not because of arthritis but his is a shire so I am worring in advance so i cant say if its any good but is used by lots of people to good effect and is very cheap!

I agree about cider vinegar as well. I use Naf's MSM with Sam, not cheap, but he's never had any problems and he'll be 23 next year.

I use equiflex which you can get from healthspan online. It works really well for my mare. In fact she was without it for a week (due to a combination of postal strikes and me being unorganised) and she was so stiff! After being back on it for a few days she was back to her spritely self and had a bit of a carry on coming in from the field one day lol!

[Ceiron]

I use equiflex which you can get from healthspan online.

Me too, I only heard about it through NR and other people saying it was good. One reason I like it is because it's a sensible price, I must say I've never heard of this Pernamax that's a new one to me.

It's a bit of a minefield really, there are SO many different brands out there, all claiming to be the best and what works well for one horse doesn't necessary work as well on another
