that's how I have gotten. Why wait until you have issues. My 23 yr old gelding is shot, I mean his knees are horrible. Had I known more as a young girl I would have done some things differently. Of course the pony has had nothing special until these last 3 yrs of his life and he feels like a million bucks.
I just decided to put anything I am hauling and running on Pentosan and I do love what the FlamOxide is doing for the one guys knees. I'm a huge believer in their supplements so when they came out with the Jointflex, I decided to put what I was riding on it as well. We ranch on them too, except the h/j, so they get some long days. |

| I've tried just about everything on the market including cosequin, platinum, and many more. Years ago I was introduced to Oxy-Gen at the World show and honestly I have never looked back. I have noticed a difference with each product I have used. Especially the daily Oxy-Max (alfalfa based pellet) which has tons of joint support, front and hind gut ulcer prevention, and lung aid. It breaks down to about $59 per month. I liked it so much I became a rep about 3 years ago. If you have any questions feel free to messag me and I can tell you more. |

Which is why I think a curost type product is very useful IN ADDITION to a good injectible ( Adequan, pentosan, Legend, Polyglycan, and joint injections where needed). Unless your horse is a pasture pet (Most on here are competitive barrel horses) then your going to get wear and tear and arthritis. We are simply asking our horses to do things they were NEVER DESIGNED to do. I feed a clean diet to my horses, use curost as a daily, but I would be a fool to think that my horse would get all they need for joints and joint health simply from the best forage possible and curost alone. I also am a firm believer that oral joint supplements really have not proven to get the job done by themselves either. The best option for my horses is curost total support and injectibles when needed. My horse with " Issues" gets curost total and Pentosan gold every other week and a booster when competing. My young horse gets curost and 2 adequan loading series a year and Legend IV before weekends where he will be making multiple runs. One run a weekend I don't use the Legend. |

Location: Southern Indiana | My favorite that I have used for over 10 years is actiflex. It's very cost effective and flat out works. It's the only cost effective complete joint supplement out there. So many joint supplements don't have all the necessary ingredients. It only comes in a liquid or a powder. The powder really isn't a powder though. It's not dusty, denser, and is almost like ground up alfalfa. It smells really good. The liquid is pina colada flavored. I've never had one turn their nose at it. Oh the best part is you only have to feed 1 oz per day.
If you must have a pellet I would go for corta flex. It's my second choice to actiflex.

Are you still getting your Pentosan from HorsePreRace?? I have some left but I need to check the date on it. My main guy is on CurOst but he has multiple issues and I was thinking of putting him back on the Pentosan also. |

Location: Oklahoma | Actiflex 4000.. The liquid. It really does work in days. ( Dogs too) .Has way more amts of ingredients than anything else..and not costly. I also think it is important to have the Omegas , fish oil, flax, coocunut etc which is why I love Renew Gold ..
For an oil I think Equine Omega Complete is the best out there today if one needs to go that route.. Some are able to give up their joint supplements . |

My friend with a really arthritic mare uses it and I haven't seen any difference in her movement. I'd be more inclined to use Pentosan or Adaquan. |

| I really like using MSM on my young horse for maintenance and I've also seen improvement with my 16 yr old barrel horse on Lubrisyn.
Theres a really good review on how msm works at
http://rodeogearreview.com/supplements/animed-pure-msm
I've used several "off brands" cheapo's from places like horse.com that I didn't see any results with.

I use Adequan injections for mine once a month. It's easy and I have seen a huge difference in my guys. My 27 year old QH has been on it for about 5 years. I can tell he gets a little stiffer coming in for dinner when it's close to the end of the month and time for another shot. I give it to my 8 year old mare I'm rodeoing on and feel it helps her too. The feed through ones are fine, but you don't really know 100% that it's getting to the joints. There is also an off-brand that's a little more cost effective you can use too. Adequan is about $50 a month give or take. Good luck! |
