Re: Joint supplements

Hello Melissa,

Congratulations! Sounds like he was definitely sensitive to some ingredient. Glad to hear you have your ol' fellow back!

I took my horse to a competition this past Saturday (10-3). It was his first time back in an arena since he ran away with me. It was ironically at the same arena. While I was a nervous wreck going in the arena with him, not knowing how he would react....he did just perfect...behaving like he always had prior to the overdose or whatever it was with the joint supplements. He actually ran his best time ever in barrels & placed 3rd. I am now feeding him the Myristol only...plus I just started supplementing his diet with the Hylamotion as you suggested. His performance this past weekend was like night & day to the time when his system was flooded with the multiple supplements. It was such a drastic change, I'm sure everyone wondered what happened to cause the change. Thank you so much for your input & suggestions.
