Joint Supplement
Jun 27 2009, 12:48 AM EDT
I have an eight year old barrel horse with long pasturns. They say this is why he can't say sound enough to run consistent times. (I believe this). His left is very "laid down." I've tried Natural Balance 4 point, regular shoeing, Adequan, Actiflex (amoung others), messages, chiropractic care, rubs, injections, and lots of time off...one time for 11 months before he came back sound. I've had him x-rayed (no arthritic changes to speak of), ultrasounded (over stretched deep flexor once but it's healed now). Any suggestions? Do you find this valuable?

I don't know where you live but I know Chris will agree with me on this. The best thing you can do is put your horse on LubriSyn. I already have ordered some for my horse and the human version for me.. If you have any questions or if I can help you go to my email liz@horseahaulic.com.

It's supposed to actually repair the joints. What symtoms was your horse having? Thanks for the information. I'm going to google the product and find out something about it. I'm wiling to do anything to help make my horse comfortable! Do you find this valuable? |

On top of that he was on pasture 24/7. That did the trick for him. I also had him on Aniflex-that worked for awhile but started to go sour. Every horse is different, you'll find something that will work for him-best of luck. Do you find this valuable? |

Thanks! I talked to a friend who does message and she said that she knew some antiinflamatory therapies to try on him. When this all started three years ago I immediately tried everything, including weekly messages because at the time, his symtoms were not isolated. I just can't keep giving him bute. If I do, I know I'll be treating ulcers. One gram does him no good and I refuse to go to two grams, ya know! Thanks again!
