following this post... my 17 year old gelding just got started on OsPhos (May 13 was his first shot of it actually ) and have already seen a huge improvement. But if this OsteoPhos works the same I'd LOVE to get in on it....can't beat that price difference!! Keep us updated, whoever tries it first! 
I agree on both. Lets keep us all posted. Whomever tries it first let us know. I won't be trying it until around August as my 6 months on the Osphos is up in September. I am going to do mine a litter earlier than the 6 months just so I can hope to avoid any down time with product getting into his system. |

Location: TN | My DVM did a Tildren treatment on a gelding a year ago. he is sooo much better but after reading this thread I am confused. If I am reading this right you can keep giving the med every 3-6 months? why??

| I just placed an order! My good horse was dinking around and aggrivated his Hock again. Last December he had same thing and we took xrays and he had an old spavin that he broke loose. I gave Osphos from vet ($300) but within about a month he was great and really improved on it... SO I ordered this stuff and will give it as soon as it arrives. Perfect candidate to compare results with. It was grand total $138 for the single vile of Osteophos. Its shipping from Canada. |

Please come back and make a follow up post with the results. I have just ordered a bottle to try in place of the Osphos on my next treatment but that won't be until August. I wanted to buy the Osteophos while it is on sale. I also received feed back that the shelf life on an unbreached bottle is 1 year. |

Where did you order it and are the dosage instructions on the bottle? |

Yes....Osphos is awesome and now a staple in our barn....everything from futurity colts to open aged horses are going to get it every 6 months on the dot |

| I ordered mine Monday. I will say this, with horseprerace.com you get a confirmation email, and tracking information within 24 hours. This place did not do the same. THey did charge my credit card and I printed off my order information. But never got confirmation. I'm sure its fine but just little differences. I am waiting on pins and needles ( Literally) to get it so I can give it to my horse. |

Just an FYI horseprerace.com has a version now as well. I ordered from there yesterday. Got my email confirmation and shipping info already. I am sure Racehorse is ok as well but I am like you I want my confirmation asap! |

I bet they are the same outfit honestly. Probably same lab and different labels. But yes, if prerace has a version I will go with that. |

Yep, I just received an email about it being available early Tuesday morning from there. Was just about to order the Osteophos but ordered the Tildrophos instead. I needed some Pentosan anyway. |

Yay! Update the post with your opinion of it when you can. I am hoping the results are the same as with Osphos. |

| I certainly will. It will take a little while I'm sure to kick in. Couple weeks maybe. |

Location: Bandera, TX | I just bought it for my 25 year old retired mare - she has leg issues and I hope it might help her some.
I have given Osphos to my other horse due to bone soreness.... She seems better, but just now legging her back up. She had multiple things wrong with her, so hard to say what did and did not help her.... |

Location: Central Texas | I've got a guy I am getting ready to start seasoning. He is an OTTB and is showing signs of soreness in his hocks. I am sure he was used pretty hard on the track and expected he would need maintenance. I haven't had xrays done and but I can tell he gets a little stiff and doesn't get up under himself when worked hard. I notice the ads state that this has shown to help arthritic hocks. Anyone used it for that? |
