If you will start analyzing labels of popular equine joint supplements, you will notice that quite a lot of of them have a wide range of exotic sounding ingredients: some contain Yucca, Rosehip and etc. The fact is that quite a lot of supplement companies like to load up their supplements with filler active ingredients.

What Horse Supplements You Should Buy For Your Horse
If you like reading popular horse riding magazines or visiting popular equestrian websites, you have probably noticed how many different ads there are promoting different types of horse supplements. It looks like every single month a new horse supplement is launched and the fact is that nowadays you can choose from hundreds, if not thousands of different kinds of horse supplements: from feed balancers and joint supplements, to calmers and garlic supplements.
In this article I would like to share with you a list of two proven and tested horse supplements that I believe every horse owner should own.
Equine feed balancers
When it comes to horse supplements, feed balancers are probably the only ones that are proven and tested by time and experiences of thousands of horse riders worldwide. Now, I know that this is probably going to sound confusing, but the fact is that feed balancers don't really balance anything.
The fact is that grazing conditions are not perfect all year round and during certain periods of the year our horses do not get as many different vitamins, nutrients and minerals as their bodies need to stay in top shape. Nutrient defiency can cause a wide range of problems ranging from poor skin and coat condition to hoof problems or even laminitis! In short, you have got to make sure that your horse does not suffer from nutrient deficiency
This is where feed balancers come into play. Feed balancers are packed with all of the essential vitamins, nutrients and minerals that your horse needs to look and feel great.
Equine joint supplements
If you have been riding horses for some time already, you have probably noticed how common joint problems are amongst horses and it does not matter whether the horse is involved in competitive horse riding disciplines such as dressage or eventing or if he is ridden merely for recreational reasons. The fact is that constant pounding and twisting of your horse's joints leave them vulnerable to an injury and as a horse owner you want to do whatever you possibly can to minimise the risk of joint disease.
This is where joint supplements for horses come into play. Joint supplements for horses are packed with active ingredients such as glucosamine, MSM, yucca. Most of the active ingredients found in joint supplements for horses are proven to strengthen and support horse's joints: they aid in renewal of cartilage, they aid in renewal of synovial fluid and they provide the joint with all of the essential building blocks that are needed for recovery and repair.
A lot of inexperienced horse riders think that they need to spend thousands every single year on lots of different kinds of horse supplements, but that is not the case. If you are not involved in competitive horse riding disciplines, if you don't compete in a professional level then the chances are pretty high that a all your horse needs to be healthy and strong is a high quality feed balancer and a good joint supplement.
