Location: Down South Mississippi	I am very sceptical, as I have tried almost everything on the block. Recently I started one gelding on Cetyl-M. Prior to starting him he had been on Injectable Glucosamine shots and Pentosin shots every other week. This gelding had bad knees and hocks. Does best turned out where he can stay moving around. If you stalled him up he always came out stiff. I tried keeping him on a low dose of Bute 2x's daily, but that didn't seem to help much unless he had a big dose, so I quit giving it to him. Quit giving the shots also, ans started the Cetyl-M exclussively. I'm hessitant to say (because remember Im a Big sceptic) But I think I'm seeing a noticable difference. I've had to stall him quite a few times lately because of the weather and he is NOT coming out of that stall stiff! I don't know if this product is what you need for a young horses' maintenace, but if you have an older one with known problems, you may want to give it a try. I'm actually thinking of putting my other gelding on it! Not cheap though!

Am I really the Weirdo? Posts: 11181 Location: Kansas	polebenderjess1 - 2014-01-28 8:08 PM I have used the Senior and the Combo from Smart Pak and really like them. I could tell a difference on the senior horse that I fed it to and my 7yr old is on the combo for maintenance. I have also fed others in the smart pak line with a noticeable difference such as their BreathSmart. Most come in powder or pellet form. My 21 year old gets SmartBreathe and SmartFlex III Resilence (lower doses than the recommendations) in pelleted form. He's doing well on both and they are pretty reasonable price-wise. I like that SmartPak ships all smartpaks over $40 for free, they will do auto ship so you never run out, and any other stuff you order with a qualifying smartpak ships free. I usually order vet wrap and Sore No More as ride-alongs. They also offer several different levels of joint supplements in different price ranges so you can customize for each horse. They just offer so many different options its almost impossible to not be satisfied with them!

I hate cooking and cleaning Posts: 3314 Location: Jersey Girl	WYOracer - 2014-01-28 11:47 AM Injectable Pentosan/ glucosamine is what I use and it's about $25 a dose buying it through my pharmacy. I feel more confident that they are actually benefiting from the shots rather than their gut destroying most of the oral. JMO. ^^^^This.
