When should I feed a Loading Dose?

A 'loading dose' means feeding extra to 'kick start' the effect of the supplement.

Feel free to ask us for advice if you think your horse may benefit from a higher daily dose. A loading dose can be beneficial if your horse has recently experienced any of these:

  • Traumatic injury to its joints.
  • Post-operative surgery to joints, ligaments, or cartilage.
  • You haven't been using any joint health supplement, and you are just beginning Equine Joint Plus.
  • Extreme lameness due to arthritis.

A normal loading dose is 1 x 30g scoop, twice a day, for 14 days.

Following this, you can drop back to the daily maintenance dose for your horse's weight.

Should I feed other joint supplements at the same time?

Equine Joint Plus contains the following per 30g scoop: 

  • Glucosamine-9000mg
  • Chondroitin-3000mg
  • MSM- 14031mg
  • Vitamin C-3750mg
  • Hyaluronic acid-99mg
  • Molasses Flavour - 120mg (Note this is a flavouring - it does not contain molasses)

Veterinary scientists have calculated the ingredients in this product based on safe daily consumption guidelines.

If there are other products your horse is currently using that contain the above ingredients as Equine Joint Plus, we suggest consulting your horse's vet. 

What does the supplement look like?

The consistency of Equine Joint Plus is a fine white powder. Unlike other formulations, this one is fine enough to stick to the feed, reducing the chance of a horse sifting through their feed and dropping it to the bottom. You can also lightly dampen the feed to help it 'stick'.

When should I start to see results?

Every horse is unique but normally owners see a change in 2-3 weeks.

Our veterinarian-supervised Field Trial showed results in some horses early as seven days after it began.

Might Equine Joint Plus help my horse with Kissing Spines?

Kissing spines may be diagnosed with an x-ray, thermal image, ultrasound, and veterinary examination. Your veterinarian may prescribe anti-inflammatory and corticosteroid injections as part of your horse's medical treatment plan. Kissing Spines causes pain, inflammation, and bone damage.

Equine Joint Plus contains natural ingredients that may work well with other pain and inflammation treatments.

Read our reviews page to see testimonials from customers who have used Equine Joint Plus for Kissing Spines.

"No words can express how grateful I am that I put my horse on this product. We found out a few months back that my big boy has Kissing spine after months of not knowing why he was sore and had a very irritable personality. After putting him on Equine Joint Plus he is finally happy, his movement is so much better, and he has his goofy personality back. He always seemed very grumpy in his paddock, telling off his paddock mates for even getting close to him and rarely wanting attention from people. Now, he plays with his friends, giving them scratches and kisses at every chance he gets. When he sees me coming into the paddock he happily walks up for pats and never wants me to leave. Thank you. Thank you so much for giving me my boy back it makes me so happy to see he is finally comfortable, and he can be a joyful horse again. I would 100% recommend this product. I would give it 10 stars if possible." Eliza B July 2022

Might Equine Joint Plus help with Clicking Joints?

Clicking of joints in horses has been attributed to the following possible theories:

  • Bony parts of a joint rub against each other
  • Snapping of a tendon over or around a joint
  • The ligament tightens rapidly as the joint moves and clicks back into place.
  • A rapid appearance or disappearance of nitrogen bubbles results from the manipulation of joint fluid.

In older or high-performance horses, this problem may result from immaturity, lack of conditioning, or arthritic changes.

As arthritic changes occur, the body slowly stops producing the natural occurrence of Glucosamine, chondroitin, Hyaluronic acid, MSM, and Vitamin C, leaving the joint less lubricated, causing friction, pain, and inflammation.

Equine Joint Plus contains all five ingredients and is a natural supplement designed to replenish horses' aging joints.

Read our testimonials to see stories from customers who have used Equine Joint Plus for clicking in their horses' joints.

"I have been using the Equine Joint Plus on my 15yo OTTB who had a very uncomfortable click for a month now. I have noticed a massive improvement with clicking decreasing drastically, and a massive difference in his work ethic because he isn’t in as much pain anymore." -  Amity Whitaker, 15 November 2021

Hoof Care Plus FAQs

Read more about it here.

What is the daily dose?

For a 500-550kg horse, the daily dose is 2 x 30g scoop once a day, so 60g total.

What is the daily cost?

Based on a 500-550kg horse who recieves 2 x 30gm scoops per day:

  • An 1.8kg tub should last around 30 days. Daily cost ~ $3.28
  • A 5kg tub should last around 83 days. Daily cost ~ $3.49
When should I see a change in my horses hooves?

On average horses hooves grow the thickness of a sheet of paper a day - so it takes a while for that to add up to a visible band of healthier stronger hoof growth below the coronet.

After a month you should see a cleaner looking band of hoof wall emerging at the top of your horse's hooves.

The rate and quality of hoof growth varies, just as it does in our fingernails. Because the distance from the coronet to the ground is shorter at the heels than at the toe, heel horn at the ground surface is always younger than toe horn. For a complete new capsule of hoof wall it may take 8-12 months, but your horse will feel the benefit of healthier hooves well before then.

Feel free to send us a photo and ask any questions you have.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
