What is Chondroitin Sulphate for Horses?
Chondroitin for horses is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) – it is also known as a mucopolysaccharide – a type of compound that binds to collagen and elastin in the formation of cartilage.
Chondroitin sulphate is a biological polymer derived from connective tissue and supports cartilage production. It is very effective at sustaining the joint and vertebrae health of older horses where nutritional support is needed for normal cartilage health.


Chondroitin is present in the lining of the horse digestive tract, blood vessels, mucus membranes and arteries and helps promote normal blood flow throughout the body.
Why should I feed my horse chondroitin sulphate?
Chondroitin for horses is useful not only for helping the health of cartilage in the body but also for maintaining healthy horse skin and providing excellent nutritional support where the rubbing of horse manes and tails is seen.

I put off ordering for a while, as it seemed a gamble compared to the cost. Eventually I decided to try it & wanted to buy from Forageplus to be sure of a quality product worth the outlay. My cob has now been on it for sweet itch plus Spirulina. I’ve been using the Spirulina for longer than the Chondroitin ( having chosen the cheaper supplement first). I have to report I am really pleased with the outcome so far, over a month of using it. There seems to be a positive change with his skin resilience, definitely far less itching, less skin issues & less broken fences than last year due to less itching. The flies seem worse this year so far, so feel I made the right decision buying & using both the Chondroitin & Spirulina in the end.
