What is your opinion on the best Joint Supplement with Glucosamine? I have been giving my mare injections and she is needle shy. I am done with them and need something to keep giving her.

I have a gelding who was the same way with needles couldn't get near him and I was injecting his hocks every Three months I started using ECJR from Equidite a supplement that i was seeing being used in the cutting world a lot for joint repair, within thirty days I saw his stride lengthen and he wasn't showing any signs that he need injected which he is a horse that tells you when he is sore. It's been a little over nine months and my vets says he is shocked that he isn't needing injected yet:) i still am so happy of how well ECJR works my horse has never felt this good!

I started using GLC 5500 RX and have seen real results . My daughters pole horse in running harder this year than ever before. She normally has trouble with her hocks. Her barrel times have gotten better as well. It has 3 forms of glucosamine in it and a deliver system that allows it to get into the system at a much higher rate than most other joint supplement. My friend also started her mare on it who had a bad injury last fall and they thought she would be unable to go on running her. She has been on it maybe 4 weeks and she is now running easier and seems to just feel good. Last night her daughter ran just .2 off the winning time and ran to the fence on first.
