[RC] glucosamine-for healthy horses - Dawn Simas

Thank you everyone for all the great input.  :)
 
<< wonder though, even if taking glucosamine & chondroitin doesn?t stop the pain for everyone, if it were taken BEFORE the pain started, would it benefit everyone and help the joints stay healthy? >>
 
I wondered this too, Kathy.  You always see these supplements advertised for healthy performance horses, rather than older retired horses (like mine, it really helped him).  I am now giving it to my endurance mount, he's only 9 and fine, but he's a QH and heavy up front and I want him to stay sound, so can't hurt.  I will just remove him from the supplements 4 days before a competition since I'm not real sure how they fall into the drug policy.
