Thank you Heidi, for educating someone (me) who really didn't know what
Adequan was.  Well, I knew it was supposed to lubricate the joints by helping
produce synovial fluid (have I got that right?), but I thought it was also an
anti-inflammatory.  Perhaps, then, it is not forbidden.  It could hardly be
considered more advantageous to the horse than vitamins, I would think.  We
really need to find out about this ... perhaps it should be brought to light
at one of the meetings at the convention.  Thanks again.
