How old is the horse, how lame/sore without supplement, and what type of activity are you expecting?
I don’t have any suggestions off the top of my head, but I believe the approach to supplementing a horse expected to perform in the arena and a horse you’re trying to keep comfortable as a pasture retiree are 2 different approches.
I continued it for about 6 months and then stopped. Now, 2 years later, he has stiffness that we can’t reaolve. Maybe I’ll start him on this again and see if it helps at all.

If I HAD TO USE a liquid supplement or go to prison, I would use Actiflex 4000 liquid. Having said that, most joint supplements with MSM, HA, etc..... 1) Are only about 6-16% absorbed and used by the horse and 2) Can cause GI upset in those doses needed to actually make it to joint. My vote is INJECTABLES especially if they already have issues.
