Member Posts: 44	What kind of results have you seen with Polyglycan? Is it enough support by itself? I would be giving it to a 20 year old pole horse. Also....I have had one vet recommend it (IV) And another (very reputable) vet say she would NEVER I.V. Polyglycan in a horse because it is not labeled to be administered that way. She would ONLY put it directly in the joint. Edited by rodeocr8zy 2016-05-11 3:26 PM

She has spurs on her knee and it helps keep her sound and comfortable. This is also how/why I use it. My gelding is 22 this year and has been running on it since he was 18. I did a loading dose once and it made him act super studdy. After that, I gave monthly and before a big or overnight race.

I have found that every horse I use it on they act super FRESH within about 6 hours and it lasts couple days. Thats why I said 3 days out from a race. Lol now if you have an older horse that needs a little pep up to their get Along then give it day before s race. Lol
