Barrel racing is a high-speed discipline! Hard running, sharp turns, and a long season on the road. Without careful maintenance, diligent conditioning, and the right nutrition, your performance horses can start to slow down over time.

Repetition over time can spell disaster for any horse's health; that's why joint protection is so important when it comes to barrel racing! High-quality grains and supplementation with chondroitin, glucosamine, and MSM are essential to keeping your performance partner in the best shape possible.

We're proud to support riders like MJ Karlee as they turn-and-burn across Ontario this rodeo season!

Chondroitin sulphate is a chemical found in human and animal cartilage. It is commonly used by mouth glucosamine.

This important ingredient is one of the building blocks of cartilage. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the joints breaks down. Taking chondroitin sulfate might slow this breakdown.

Chondroitin sulphate is often used together with other ingredients including glucosamine. There are 1250 mg of Chondroitin Sulphate in every 11g scoop of Flex Guard.

Every 11g scoop of Flex Guard has 5,000 mg of Glucosamine Sulphate.

Glucosamine sulphate is a natural sugar that is found in and around the fluid and tissues that cushion joints. This tissue is called cartilage. It is a widely used supplement in people and horses that helps to ease pain in those with osteoarthritis.

In some cases, the supplement works similarly to ibuprofen in how effective it can be for pain relief. However, a loading dose is necessary before horses will experience the full benefits. Glucosamine sulphate is best used in tandem with chondroitin, another one of the main ingredients of Flex Guard.

What are the most common joints affected by arthritis?

When it comes to equine arthritis, there are four joints that you should keep an eye on; the knee, the hock, the stifle, and the fetlock. But do keep in mind that arthritis can happen in any joint.

Keep an eye out for swelling due to excess joint fluid, lameness and pain, stiffness, and in some cases, deformation caused by bony changes in the joint.

Flex Guard stimulates the flow of synovial fluid to the joints to move freely, greatly decreasing the chances that this cartilage degeneration will begin.

What areas of the back are most commonly affected by arthritis?

We often see signs of arthritis in the sacroiliac, spinal area, and the neck. Especially in performance horses, where weight bearing can be compounded by jumping, hard stops, and quick turns.

Symptoms like bucking in an otherwise polite horse, refusal to enter the ring or go over a jump, discomfort during grooming, resistance to saddling, and an abnormal gait while saddled could all indicate back pain in a horse.

Treat the back just like any other joint and maintain healthy cartilage levels.
Consider a supplement that helps to revitalize their movement.

Flex Guard stimulates the flow of synovial fluid to the joints to move freely, greatly decreasing the chances that this cartilage degeneration will begin.

Arthritis is an inflammation of a joint that causes pain and stiffness in horses. Once the swelling gets severe enough, lameness can occur.

But what exactly is happening?

In a normal joint, each bone is protected from rubbing against the other with a healthy layer of cartilage and synovial fluid, all encapsulated by the synovial membrane. This is what allows the joint to move with ease.

Arthritis can often develop after the normal structure of the joint is changed, through trauma or infection. Movement of the roughened bone ends or damaged cartilage can lead to synovial fluid damage, causing swelling and restriction of movement.

This can get severe enough to cause bone spurs and lame up a horse completely.

Flex Guard stimulates the flow of synovial fluid and greatly decreases the chance of cartilage degeneration.

Another happy customer!

Remember, joint health is proactive and not reactive. Start supplementing before you're trying to manage symptoms!

Excited to announce new rider Sponsor for Healthy Horse Nutrition
JM Karlee

Shared post from Karlee

Welcoming Healthy Horse Healthy Horse Nutrition to our team for the 2025 barrel season! I have personally used Flex Guard since October 2024, as my mare was experiencing hock pain. After about a month of using Flex Guard, she had little to no pain in her hocks, making rides much more enjoyable for both of us! We are very excited to be working with Healthy Horse Nutrition for the 2025 season. If you want to get onto a great supplement with minimal ingredients that is easy on gut health and cost-effective at $119.99 for a four-month supply for one horse, try it out and use Karlee2025 when you order. You won’t be disappointed; this is one supplement I stand behind 100 percent!

Had to share this message I received today.

Hi Sandy!
I just have to share another review about Flex Guard!
I just had the vet here to X-ray Tulsa’s knee as it’s swollen and she has been lame. We thought for sure arthritis and would be taking the next step…injections or to completely retire her.
Turns out she somehow cracked a bone (possibly smacked it hard on something or when Cali was here - she recently has passed away) may have kicked it. X-rays showed that Tulsa’s joints are in fantastic shape and strong looking. My vet was so impressed to see that especially for a senior horse. I told her it’s because of the supplements she’s on!
Tulsa is on a 6-8 week “retirement” and will be reassessed then and back to riding!

Hope all is going well with you and the family xo
