How to keep your horse supple and comfortable
Our joint products are designed to provide nutritional assistance to help
the body repair itself and soothe discomfort. Whenever your horse walks or
gallops it puts strain on its joints. This strain causes damage every day but
when it is healthy the body is able to repair itself quickly. Joint problems
occur when the body’s ability to repair itself is weakened and daily damage
occurs faster than the repair processes. Getting your horse back into balance
with our herbs and minerals is essential both in the short and long term. You
will be surprised what is possible and how quickly you notice the difference.
For complete information on our joint products ask for a copy of our JOINT
INFORMATION PACK. This contains information on all our joint products and more
details of how to keep your horse sound and comfortable.
We can summarise the basic strategy for all horses by saying:
- Supply the best source of food with high levels of minerals and
vitamins.
- Use herbs to support strong bone in all ages of horse.
- Feed herbs to support synovial fluids which feed the inside of joints
that may be
not quite right.
- Use soothing herbs which calm joints down and support natural
circulation when
all is not going well. Herbal rubs can also help a lot.
- Consider using a liver tonic to help detoxify the body. Use as a one off
or regularly
every few months.

MovefreePlus
Lubricates, soothes and transforms
1kg & 5kg tubs
Our principle joint product. MovefreePlus is a unique herbal
formula for horses that require the best help possible for their
joints. Movefree can be used just as easily in horses that are unable to move freely
as those that need to maintain the highest degree of flexibility and fitness. It can also
be used routinely at lowel levels to maintain good joint condition or intensively for
short and long periods in difficult situations. The formula helps lubricate joints by
providing nutritional support to joint fluids. It also helps soothe joints and maintains
normal regenerative ability in order that the wear and tear of every day activity does not
accumulate and cause difficulty.
Use of Restore at the start of a course of MovefreePlus can be beneficial for
detoxification. StrongBone can also be important at a maintenance level to help with
calcium balance of the bones within joints. When using MovefreePlus there is no need
for additional supplementation with synthetic neutraceuticals. The formula is also useful
for the maintenance of good condition in muscles, tendons and ligaments.
• For support to all equine joints
• For routine help with freedom of movement
• For optimum joint comfort
• For nutritional help with circulation
• In specific situations when advised by our staff or your local adviser.
DIRECTIONS:
For a 450kg horse, feed two level 25ml scoops twice daily. This is equivalent to feeding approx 50gm a day After 2-3 months this amount can
be reduced according to response. However the higher level and the longer you
use MovefreePlus the better your results will be. A tub of MovefreePlus will last an
average horse 3-6 weeks.
It is useful to study our joint info pack for full technical details when using Movefree

StrongBone
For the strongest joints & bones
1kg and 5kg tubs
As you will read in our joint information pack, strong bone development is key
to avoiding so many common joint concerns. The herbs in StrongBone work
incomparably better than Limestone in supporting strong natural bone growth.
Limestone is not absorbed very well at all. StrongBone can be used in horses of any
age. In the young it can be used to encourage proper skeletal development and in
older animals it can be used routinely to ensure that joints remain as strong as they
were when younger.
The herbs in strong bone go a long way to ensuring a perfect balance between
the need for Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorus - the most important minerals
for skeletal development. It is also worthwhile feeding GlobalVite for a source of
other key minerals but even diets that are short of Calcium will usually be suitable
if StrongBone is added as a food supplement. The herbs in StrongBone work by
attaching to minerals in the diet and improving the way they are digested.
When to use StrongBone
1. At a low level as a routine supplement to support strong joints
2. For young stock to support good skeletal development.
3. In specific situations in any horse as part of a supplement program designed to
support normal joint function.
4. As a food supplement when there has been any damage to the skeletal system
5. To help with milk production in mares.
DIRECTIONS:
For quick support in an average horse use at 2 blue 25ml sccops twice daily over a
period of 1-2 months. For routine supplementation of fit and active horses use at 1-2
blue 25ml scoops daily. For foals use at 5-10g/100kg daily depending on the quality
of food and pasture.

Windgall
Nutrition for the fetlocks
1kg, 5kg tubs of powder
Every horse
has Windgalls to some extent. This is the area around the
fetlock where joint and tendon fluid creates a soft area under
the skin. In some horses this swelling may be quite pronounced
if there is not enough or too much exercise. The fluid that is
in this soft area provides nutrition to the underlying areas and
lubrication so all the parts of the joints and tendons slide
against each other easily.
Our new
WindGall formula is designed to provide all the nutrition that
this part of the body needs to remain in good condition and
trouble free. You can feed the formula over prolonged periods or
just for a month or two if you have specific concerns at a given
time.
We
also advise that you might consider using StrongBone regularly
at a low level. This ensures the body absorbs calcium magnesium
and phosphorus properly and that all the joint structures are as
robust as is possible. You do not however need to use
MovefreePlus with WindGall. Extra Bute-X may be useful on days
of particulary hard exercise and on and the day after
particularly strenuous competition.
We find this
product very useful and it assists greatly the sensible and
careful management of healthy active joints.
DIRECTIONS:
Feed 1-2 25ml
scoops twice daily for an average horse depending on the level
of help required.

MSM
Absolutely pure msm
1kg, 2kg, 5kg tubs
MSM is a naturally occurring form of sulphur. Sulphur is an important constituent of joint cartilage and tendons.
IMMUPLUS is also essential for worries concerning tendons. Seek advice first and discuss with us your horse’s special
needs. MSM is also useful for robust immune systems and pollen concerns.

Glucosamine
And Joints
Most people have
heard of glucosamine. This neutraceutical (nutritional pharmaceutical)
is actually a chemical which provides the building blocks for cartilage
in the joints and collagen in tendons and ligaments. It is often used
with MSM and chondroitin.
So Glucosamine helps
with nutrition to these parts of the body but it also has asoothing
action on uncomfortable areas. It has been shown that horses feel a bit
more comfortable when it is fed. It is however true that cartilage and
tendons need a lot more than just glucosamine and just feeding this
chemical is a rather misleading approach to joint support. We prefer to
use Movefree because it helps with the total nutrition to joints via the
stickiness of synovial joint fluids. It is the joint fluid that feeds
the inside of your horse's joints so that they can work properly.
Also see our info
sheet on glucosamine approaches to joint health and flexibility.
