I have had an amazing response of an old
arthritic "head-bobing-at-the-walk" horse
to *Sound!* using FlexFree (Chondroitin Sulfates).
Condroitin Sulfates was the only treatment
this horse had. I was so impressed that my
14 year old x-race horse is now on flexfree
as a preventative against further joint
degeneration. (it's not whether or not
he'll get arthritis, just when... hopefully
later! )
Also, I put my beast on MSM after he cut
and absessed his shoulder to the bone.
The vet did a great job in draining the
absess, put him on 5 days of antibiotics
and I flushed it until it started to heal.
That puppy healed so fast I couldn't believe
it. Now I don't know how much this healing
was due to the MSM but it didn't hurt anything
and I got the result I wanted.
And I've had the same beast on biotin for
his TB feet. The new growth is so much
better than the old growth our check in
Vet at the Fireworks ride mentioned it...
and wanted to know what I was doing.
All this from someone who said she'd "just
feed right" and never use those expensive
suppliments. *Never* say never!

ps... after using corn oil we've recently
tried 1/2 pound of rice bran in his food.
BIG difference in his coat... it's very
shiney and healty looking even for a
dirty, muddy pasture horse.
