Joint Care for Horses: When to Start and What to Look For

Joint problems are not exclusive to older or overworked horses. In fact, joint degeneration begins early—often silently—long before visible signs like lameness or stiffness appear. Taking a preventive approach with targeted supplementation can make all the difference.

Common Causes of Joint Stress

⦁ High-impact exercise
⦁ Poor conformation or shoeing
⦁ Repetitive movement or training on hard surfaces
⦁ Nutritional imbalances
Even young horses in training are at risk, especially during growth stages where joints and ligaments are still developing.

Early Signs Your Horse

May Need Joint Support
⦁ Stiffness during warm-up
⦁ Reluctance to move forward
⦁ Uneven strides or mild lameness
⦁ Swelling around joints
⦁ Behavior changes under saddle
Catching these signs early can help prevent long-term damage.

⦁ MSM – Anti-inflammatory support and collagen production
⦁ Glucosamine & Chondroitin – Cartilage building and protection
⦁ Hyaluronic Acid – Lubricates joints for smooth movement
