Answer 1

To get some ideas of what has been tried and tested with good results in horses with joint problems, I suggest reading  the comments in this forum:

From the Arthritis and Glucosamine Research Centre, they say that some studies have shown the HCL to be more effective, whereas others have shown the sulfate form to be more effective, so are suggesting to try both individually.

Another popular supplement for horses with joint problems is MSM.

Glucosamine HCL for horses online:

Have you asked your Vet. They should be better able to adevise you on this specific condition.

Hope your horse gets relief and you get the peace of mind. Best of wishes.
