That every horse owner should know ...
You have probably heard about joint supplements, but should you be feeding your horse or pony one? Which should you try, and how will you know if it's working? Also, when joint supplements are included as part of a feed balancer is that more beneficial? (p.s. it is!)
Feeding for daily joint support can be beneficial for every horse, it doesn't matter if you are a happy hacker or competing at championships. You can maintain mobility, comfort and performance for your horse for years to come.
Correct nutrition as the foundation (forage and a feed balancer), is essential for joint health as well as overall wellbeing.
Top 5 ingredients to support healthy joints for the long term:
1. Glucosamine - Keeps your horse moving freely

Why is it beneficial to feed a joint supplement and feed balancer "all-in-one"?
- Improved nutrient absorption - you have to provide a balanced diet (correct forage provision and a feed balancer) for any further supplementation to be effective
- A healthy digestive system (further improving nutrient absorption) is promoted from ingredients included in the feed balancer such as probiotics
- Feeding a supplement without a balanced diet can lead to further nutrient imbalance, especially when feeding multiple products
- Easy and stress free, the science is done for you
Feeding a joint supplement can be a proactive way to support your horse’s long-term mobility and comfort, especially as part of a balanced diet. Helping them stay active and happy for years to come.
