call SmartPac and talk to one of there consultants.

Don't know it it works but they have several in daily dose containers with your horse's name on the container.

Does not guarantee he will get it but helps if the help wants to do the right thing

generic glucosamine at ur neighborhood grocery store. throw horse equivalent it in the feed, they'll eat it. Joint supplements for horses likely a luxury due to expense.

I tried that, the equivalent is going through 2 bottles in less than a week, cause you have to give so much..

Promise I don't own any stock in SmartPak but they have a LOINT SUPPLEMENT COMPARISON chart that is worth looking at. Includes every joint supplement I have ever heard of including osequene & Succeedand compares price per dose as well as ingredients

I give their SmartFlex III Resilience t a couple of 2 YO-IN-Training geldings and it contains:

10,000 mg of Gluocosamme
1,000 mg of Chondroitin Sulfate
200 mg of Hyaluronic Acid
10,000 mg of MSM
5,000 mg of Vitamin C
500mg of bioavalable Siliea
1,000 mg Hydrolyzed Collagen
400 mg of Grape seed extract

cost is $2.29 per day in individualized daily dose containers with my horses name on it.. You can buy it in bulk for $2.00 per day but I like the individalized daily dose containers and they list other supplements for around $1.00 per day.

Might not be what you are looking for but their all joint supplement compairson chart is woth pulling up.
