What is Boswellia for Horses?
Boswellia (also known as Frankincense) is a powerful supplement that provides natural support for joints, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage in horses.
Derived from the Boswellia Carterii tree, native to the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa, Boswellia for horses has been used as a traditional medicine for over 8,000 years, thanks to its rich content of boswellic acids (terpenes).
Forageplus Boswellia for horses is sourced from the powdered resin of the Boswellia Carterii tree, which contains beta-boswellic acid, a group of triterpenoids with anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties.
This supplement is ideal for maintaining and supporting the comfort of older horses, ponies, and performance horses in active competition.

Excellent customer service. Fast delivery. Been using this for my Cob who has deep sulcus thrush. Smells divine. My cob loves his food. Highly recommended. Thank you forageplus.

I’ve been using this product on my 24 year old coloured cob, he’s doing so well on this and I recommend to everyone – thank you Forage Plus

Really good value and effective Boswellic acid percentage %. I found one horse will eat it willingly, other needed a scoop of fenugreek with it. Both seem happy on it. Golden oldie seems to be coping well in cold weather with his arthritis so I would say it’s doing its job.

My horse has arthritis and I have been feeding Boswellia for years, but since introducing the Forageplus product ( which has a higher %age boswellic acid & is more economical ) there has definitely been an improvement in his mobility. The farrier even commented on it is morning! So thank you!!

Best Boswellia on the market! Good value for money to. Always skeptical of these things but definitely seems to help my older arthritic horses continue working so well. Wouldn’t go back to using another brand now.

Keeps my 23 year old mare being able to be hacked out 2-3 times a week and still enjoying a canter

Good product. Has helped with lameness and he eats it happily now after introducing to his feed very slowly and using mint to hide the bitter taste.

Originally purchased to help with stiffness of the joint (horse is 15) which worked a treat!! The added bonus was it also helped and improved his respiratory system. Forage plus are very quick on delivery and I highly recommend.

My 17 year old thoroughbred is riddled with arthritis. After vet’s advice either pts or turn out 24/7. We decided to turn him out. Our podiatrist recommended that I use this after using all sorts of other treatments (non medicated) we used this. We have been using it for 3 months now and I’ve noticed a huge change in him. He’s able to move more freely he will never be 100% sound. But keeping him comfortable is all that matters to me

I’m just finishing a bag of this, having observed both my pony & donkey I feel adding this to their diet has help them thrive with their individual issues eg Skin, pain, hoof health. I’m buying another bag to maintain a back up for healing & health.

This is the best Boswallia supplement I have tried .Very effective and high in boswalic acid .
Briony Bunch (verified owner) –
Keeps my 26 year old cob sound enough to enjoy hacking still, which is great as he really doesn’t want to retire completely and loves to go out still.

Started my 19yo 17.2hh ex-eventer on this 3 weeks ago, and today he let the farrier fully extend his front legs for clenching up without snatching them back, for the first time in ages!
