Good joint supplements for horses?
Has anyone tried any joint supplements on their horses that they had good results with such as Next Level or Cosequin? These have been recommended to me but I haven't tried them yet. I would appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks

My vet recommends Cosequin or Adequan. Those are the only two she'll ever recommend. Adequan is a perscription joint supplement that you give IM once a week for a month then once a month after that.
Cosequin ASU and SP are stronger versions of the original Cosequin. Supplementing Hylauronic Acid is another good thing, but it won't work unless your horse's joints are dry. Cosequin and Adequan work on the cartilidge, HA works on the fluid in the joints so they are targeted for two different things.

My horse is arthritic in both hocks. He was on Cosequin for a long time but eventually it stopped being enough. Now he's on a liquid HA supplement called Force Flex. It has done wonders for him, and at almost 22, he's still working and jumping comfortably.
Lubrisyn is a more popular brand but it's much more expensive, and Force Flex has worked just as well as Lubrisyn for him.

I think cosequin is pretty good. I haven't found a bad review on it and I just started my arthritic/navicular horse on it a week ago. It was actually recommended by my small animal vets who is pretty familiar with the dog version.
