Why Do Horses Need Supplements?
Horses put their bodies through a lot, and even the best forage and feed can leave gaps in what they need to stay at their peak. Over time, cartilage, synovial fluid, and the soft tissues that cushion movement can start to wear down or become inflamed. That’s why riders often pair daily supplements with General Health & Wellness support to fill nutritional gaps and keep horses feeling balanced.
Corro Team Rider Ashlee Bond (International Show Jumping) sees firsthand how the explosive power of jumpers puts repeated stress on joints.
Team Rider Josh Tishman (Reining) notes how sliding stops and spins create unique impact challenges.
Their experiences highlight why smart supplementation matters: the right support helps fill nutritional gaps, protect joints, and keep horses performing comfortably for the long run.
How Horse Supplements Can Help
A 2008 study published in Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica showed that MSM plus vitamin C supplementation reduced oxidative stress in sport horses following jumping exercise, helping to buffer lipid peroxidation and support antioxidant enzyme activity.
Another more recent paper (2022) examining experimentally induced osteoarthritis in horses found that an oral glucosamine- and chondroitin-sulfate compound helped slow the progression of cartilage damage and reduced typical osteoarthritic changes.
Together, these findings support the role of targeted supplements. Especially the effectiveness of glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and hyaluronic acid - in maintaining mobility and resilience. These ingredients also play a key role in Performance & Recovery, helping horses bounce back after training or competition.
Choosing the Right Horse Supplements
Every horse has different needs, and the right supplement depends on age, workload, and health status. Older horses may need joint support, while young athletes benefit from preventive care. Horses with stress, hoof weakness, or respiratory sensitivities often rely on specialized formulas you’ll find in Condition Management.
Consider these quick matches:
- Performance horses → joint & recovery support
- Senior horses → mobility & cartilage formulas
- Everyday maintenance → digestive, hoof, or coat health
