So this is the second of two videos, both of which address myths and realities of various joint support ingredients. I am hoping that, because of the rather critical way I have written about a couple of them, we can engender some comments or questions.

There are 4 digestion videos for example, but I know that there lots of specific issues that may be missed, so I would encourage you to send questions or comments – perhaps how much you like the roaring fireplace behind me in the videos. It is my hope that  by hearing your questions and comments about various issues, we can transmit those answers to a broader audience.

Next blockbuster video deals with Hylauronic Acid and MSM I hope you will watch it and share.

We constantly reflect on the fact that there just aren’t enough joint supplements on the market, don’t manufacturers care about this important area? How can we possibly care for our horses when there are only about 200 products out there? More importantly each one is the best, so there has to be room for more products that are the best. I do have to hand it to SmartPak Smart Supplements who are at least trying with 16 joint supplements. Continue reading →

This is a guest post from Dr. Mark Olsen, DVM

Whether you have a backyard companion or an international competitor, you’ve invested a lot of time, energy, and effort to keep your horse in optimum health for peak performance. Horses are natural-born athletes, yet we ask them to do a lot that their bodies weren’t built for. Training and competing in any discipline demands much more of our horses’ joints and bodies.
