Focus on Joint Care
Whether your pony or horse is a performance or leisure horse, their joints are subject to general wear and tear. Preventing joint deterioration and protecting for future longevity will also have positive overall health benefits.
The options in the market are endless, mainly through supplementation of the existing diet. Blue Chip have formulated both a liquid (Joint RLF) and pelleted (Dynamic) joint supplement, and also offer a complete balancer (Joint Care) containing functional ingredients if you are searching for an all-in-one solution.
What can cause joint pain?
Injury/Trauma – Damage to soft tissue, bone, cartilage, joint membranes, or joint fluid.
Inflammation – Causing lameness, swelling, pain and reduced mobility, such as Bursitis or Tendonitis, including capped hocks, capped elbows and other conditions.
Disease – Such as Arthritis, caused by wear and tear of the cartilage, most commonly found in the legs.
Functional Blue Chip ingredients used across the range of Joint products:
