Joint supplements for your horse

Less movement, lower temperatures, and damp ground mean that your horse's muscles and joints have to work just a little harder. You often notice this through subtle signals: your horse feels less forward, moves less smoothly, and needs a bit more time to loosen up. Especially in winter, when cold and moisture put extra strain on the joints, smooth movement can suddenly feel less natural.

With targeted joint support, you can help your horse stay supple and comfortable in their movement, whether they are in training, breeding, enjoyed recreationally, or simply soaking up the winter sunshine.

In this blog, we guide you through our selection of supplements that help keep your horse's joints supple, strong, and winter-ready.

Arti-Base by Global Medics 

Daily, general joint support 

Arti-Base is ideal when there is no heavy strain involved. It offers gentle, daily support during typical winter challenges such as cold, dampness, and reduced movement.

  • With harpagophytum for daily support
  • Helps your horse stay supple during quieter winter periods

For which horses? 

  • Leisure horses
  • Horses enjoying winter rest or light training
  • Horses who previously received a targeted course such as Arti-Gold, Arti-Base will work perfectly as a maintenance supplement

In short, the ideal supplement for maintaining comfortable, supple joints! 

Arti-Gold by Global Medics  

Advanced joint support  

Arti-Gold is the most advanced formula in the range of joint supplements.

It is designed for horses who are recovering from an injury or OCD surgery, ageing horses, or those who need just a little extra support during the winter months.

  • Contains harpagophytum (devil's claw), known for its soothing properties, offering relief to the entire musculoskeletal system
  • Supports both comfort and mobility when joints feel stiff or less supple

For which horses?

  • Older horses who benefit from extra support for overall mobility
  • Horses who feel less comfortable moving in cold weather
  • Horses recovering from an orthopaedic procedure

Flexy Liquide by Reverdy 

Liquid joint supplement with chondroitin, glucosamine, and MSM 

Flexy Liquide is ideal for those who trust classic, proven building blocks for long-term joint health.

Chondroitin, glucosamine, and MSM work together to support healthy cartilage and joints. Chondroitin helps keep cartilage and bones well hydrated and protects cartilage cells from damage. Glucosamine supports the production of essential cartilage components and hyaluronic acid, which keeps cartilage supple and helps lubricate the joints. MSM provides sulphur for collagen production, supporting cartilage that is strong, elastic, and well hydrated.

  • Liquid form = easy to administer, even for picky eaters
  • Supports cartilage and joint structures
  • Based on the three most important chondroprotective ingredients (chondroitin, glucosamine, and MSM), combined with hyaluronic acid

For which horses?

  • Horses with more sensitive joints
  • Horses exposed to sudden or increased joint strain, such as training, intensive training periods, competitions, or work on hard ground
  • Older horses
  • As additional support after joint surgery

Stride HA by TRM  

Fast support for joint function and flexibility  

Stride HA is a favorite among sport horses thanks to its rapid absorption and effective formulation.

  • Contains hyaluronic acid (HA) to support healthy joint fluid and fast action.
  • Ideal during transitional periods, such as the shift from autumn to winter
  • Provides quick support for horses who feel less supple due to changing weather conditions

For which horses?

  • Horses in training or competition
  • Horses who are sensitive to temperature changes
  • Owners who want to support their horse quickly and effectively
