R&J Equine, Keeping Your Horse Supple

We can summarise the basic strategy for all horses by saying:

1. Supply the best source of high spec. highly absorbable minerals and vits (GlobalVite). Minerals in the diet are extremely important for the development and maintenance of trouble free joints. Normal diets usually never contain enough for every horse that eats them. Pasture is almost always deficient and joints then become fragile.

2. Support strong bones with herbs. It is good to use StrongBone at a low level on a routine basis in all horses. This is particularly important if you are concerned about the hock joints. A scoop a day keeps trouble away.

3. Feed herbs to support synovial fluids which feed the inside of joints that may need some help. Movefree liquid or MovefreePlus contain all that you need. You do not need glucosamine with this approach.

4. Use soothing herbs, which calm joints down and support natural circulation when all is not going well. Herbal rubs like Joint rub can also help a lot. Avoid Devils Claw which can upset the stomach over time. Bute-X does not have these drawbacks.

5. Consider using a liver tonic to help detoxify the body. Use as a one off or regularly throughout the year. We find Restore is very useful in this regard.
