The dose comes out to be 5cc for smaller horses and 6cc for bigger ones. There is an actual dose on the website. Most on here give 5-6cc depending on horse size. Reason for dosing is it is an anticoagulant of sorts. Mild one. SO I would not give to horses who are bleeders within a few days of hard exercise. My good horse gets 1 dose every 10-14 days or so. My colt is monthly or more if being used hard. Both were given the 4 dose loads. You've given awesome advice...popping and bleeding to be specific. Your also in a small group of people I know giving Pentosan to colts. I thought I would be able to "test" the results on my Mighty Mind Bender X Mystic Eye colt but I had to put off going on him this year. I can tell you this, I've worked him 3 times, back in the winter and the early Spring. He broke the ground like Beduino bred horses. So, is it the Pentosan or just breeding and age? I hope that he can stay together (he's built to) but I have no problems spending good coin on him to keep him healthy. Can't wait for next year. Again, thanks for your wisdom and sharing it forward. I put my new guy (20yo) on actiflex 4000 a month ago. He's "popping" everywhere now from his neck down to his ankles. He wasn't before...not sure if I should open the gallon or not. I'm pretty sure that was $100 wasted. After reading a bit on here, I may try the pentosan. Could you explain about the popping you mentioned? Also, adequan loading and pentosan or just pentosan? I just started a 10 year old with poll issues and some arthritis on the loading dose today of Pentosan from Prerace. Can keep people updated with results.

Ima Cool Kid Posts: 3496 Location: TN	Been using Pentosan for 5+ years and love it. I like it best for the older mares. I retired my best horse after Congress (win) in 2009 , then discovered Pentosan and brought her back in to a much more youthfull self. She ran another 4 years and retired her in her mid 20's as she won't go easy on her self and she does not deserve to hurt her self after her 20+ years of winning for my family. The stuff really works!! I haven't bought any Adequan since seeing for my self how much Pentosan does for my bunch. At the time it was about the cost but after 5 years I realized I don't miss it using it.
