Joint Supplements for Horses

Joint supplements are among the most widely fed of all equine supplements, used to support ongoing mobility and comfort in horses in regular work, older horses, and those returning to work after a break.

Feed & Supplements

Joint supplements are among the most widely fed of all equine supplements, used to support ongoing mobility and comfort in horses in regular work, older horses, and those returning to work after a break.

Common ingredients include glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin and herbal extracts. They are fed daily as part of the diet, and work best as one part of good overall management.

About Equine does not provide veterinary advice. Supplements and feed support a balanced diet and good management; for any health concern, please consult a qualified vet or equine nutritionist.

Who they are for

Owners commonly feed joint supplements to competition and leisure horses in regular work, to veterans, and to horses whose workload is increasing. The aim is to support general joint health and comfort over time.

Common ingredients

Glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin are frequently included, often alongside herbs such as rosehip or devil's claw. Formulations and levels vary, so compare what each product contains.

Part of a bigger picture

Joint support works alongside correct workload, good farriery, a suitable surface and a sensible warm-up. Any lameness or marked stiffness is a reason to call the vet rather than simply adding a supplement.

Joint Supplements: your questions answered

Many owners begin as a horse's workload increases or as they age, but there is no single right time. If your horse shows stiffness or lameness, speak to your vet rather than relying on a supplement.

No. Supplements support general joint health; they are not a treatment for lameness or disease. Always involve your vet in managing a joint problem.
