My gelding has spurs on his suspensories (sp?) on both front legs. I tried Equibone knowing supplements generally are not a fix and it did nothing.....I followed the feeding suggestions to a T.........
Looking for anyone's personal experience in successfully having them removed........

I'm sorry Equibone didn't work for you! My gelding had a HUGE bone spur on the back of his navicular bone. It took it quite a while, but it's practically gone now with the use of Equibone. However, my vet did say that if it didn't work, our next move would have probably been shockwave.
