    FlexAbility Professional Review: Is This the Best Joint Supplement for Your Horse?
    Discover the Ultimate Joint Support for Your HorseWhen it comes to keeping your horse in top shape, joint health is crucial. That's why Aaron from Just Horse Riders is here to introduce you to a game-changing product in the world of equestrian supplements: the Science Supplements FlexAbility Professional. This high-spec joint supplement is making waves in the UK, and for good reason. If you're looking for the ultimate support for your horse's joints, you won't want to miss this review. Watch now to learn more!What Makes FlexAbility Professional Stand Out?The FlexAbility Professional supplement is not your average joint support. It's designed specifically for high-performance horses or those needing the highest level of care. According to Aaron, this product is "recognized as one of the highest specs joint supplements for horses in the UK." But what exactly sets it apart from the competition?Scientifically Proven IngredientsThis supplement boasts a unique combination of scientifically proven ingredients, each chosen for its specific benefits to joint health. Some of the key players include:Glucosamine: Essential for cartilage repair and reducing inflammation.Chondroitin Sulfate: Supports cartilage elasticity and helps reduce breakdown.MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane): Reduces inflammation and supports connective tissue.Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Sourced from marine oils, these help reduce inflammation and support overall health.Hyaluronic Acid: Enhances joint lubrication and maintains moisture in cartilage.Boswellia Serrata: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, especially beneficial for joint health.Collagen Peptides: Supports the structural integrity of joint cartilage.Rose Hip Extract: Provides antioxidants that help manage pain from arthritis.Vitamin C: Essential for collagen synthesis and acts as an antioxidant.Results You Can See in Just 14 DaysIf you're wondering how quickly you'll see results, Aaron has some good news. "Results can be seen in as little as 14 days," he says. This makes FlexAbility Professional a quick and effective solution for horses needing urgent joint support. It's available in two sizesa 3.5kg tub that lasts about a month, and a 9kg tub that gives approximately 2.5 months of supply. Shop now to start seeing the benefits!Why Joint Health is Critical for HorsesAs Aaron mentions, "Wear and tear on the skeletal system, particularly the joints, occurs both as the result of exercise training and simply as part of the aging process." This makes joint health a priority for horses of all ages and activity levels. Whether your horse is competing at the highest level or just enjoying leisurely rides, maintaining joint health is key to their overall well-being.Backed by Clinical ResearchThe FlexAbility range isn't just about fancy marketingit's backed by solid science. The supplement is the only joint product in the UK with two clinical and scientific studies demonstrating its positive effects. One of these studies was even published in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science. That's not something you hear every day!Recommended by ExpertsThe clinical trials for FlexAbility suggest that for stiff horses, "6-7 out of 10 fed FlexAbility benefit in maintaining normal joint function and mobility." This makes it a go-to choice for veterinarians and equestrians alike. If you're looking for a supplement that's both trusted and effective, this is it.What's Inside FlexAbility Professional?Let's take a closer look at some of the powerhouse ingredients inside this supplement:GlucosamineAn essential building block for cartilage, glucosamine has been recognized as a beneficial supplement for joint health in both horses and humans. It works synergistically with chondroitin to reduce inflammation and improve cartilage repair. The recommended level for horses is between 10-15g per daily serving.Chondroitin SulfateThis natural component of cartilage has been extensively studied and found to be especially effective when combined with glucosamine. It's recommended at a minimum of 2g per daily serving for a 500kg horse when used with other ingredients.MSMMSM provides sulfur, which is essential for the repair of many structural tissues within the body, including skin, hoof, and cartilage. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for joint supplements.Omega-3 Fatty AcidsDHA and EPA, specific types of omega-3 fatty acids, are found in marine oils and have been shown to benefit joints, blood, and lungs in horses. Unlike plant-based omega-3s, these marine-sourced fatty acids are much more effective in supporting your horse's health.How to Use FlexAbility ProfessionalUsing FlexAbility Professional is simple. You should mix it with your horse's feed, ideally twice a day, and follow the feeding instructions provided. It's also safe for competition horses, with no prohibited substances. For more detailed feeding guidelines, you can visit the product page.Perfect for High-Performance HorsesIf your horse is in hard work, competing at a high level, or simply needs the highest nutritional care, FlexAbility Professional is the right choice. It's designed for those who require the maximum level of support. Not sure if this is the right supplement for your horse? Aaron suggests that FlexAbility Plus+ might be a better fit for horses that don't need quite as much support.Explore More from Science SupplementsInterested in other products from Science Supplements?

Use the bands as described by your accredited coach or healthcare professional. Do not use the bands if you have any pain, difficulty breathing, sickness or dizziness. You should contact your healthcare provider in this instance. Riders should use the exercise bands for short intervals (between 5-15 mins) when on the horse, particularly in the beginning stages until comfortable and you have gained more strength and stability.The bands are designed for you to learn what your coach or specialist is saying to feel. We therefore recommend using the bands for no more than 25 minutes mounted and then taking the bands off to be able to feel what you felt with the bands on.The riders alignment is critical in equestrian sport when using the bands, shoulders should be square, back naturally straight, abdominals contracted, pelvis stabilised, bend at the elbows and knees, ankles being the lowest point, maintaining your stability and flexibility at all times.

Do not use these products in any manner that may cause them to snap towards the head and cause injury to eyes. When taking the bands off on the horse, always remove slowly from the riders heel first.It is recommended when riding to avoid the use of jewellery; when using the EQ Bands this is particularly relevant to any loose items (necklace/ bracelets, ear-rings etc.)Ensure that the EQ Band is securely fitted correctly and securely under a suitable riding boot, during use.The EQ Bands should be used in arenas that are free from obstacles where entrapment to the horse or rider may cause injury (narrow entrances/ fences etc.).For safety reasons it is recommended that the EQ Bands are fitting once in the riding arena and removed before exiting the arena.Do not stretch product more than 4 times its resting length. This includes each loop individually and/or combined.The EQ Bands should be fitted and removed with someone holding the horse whilst the rider is mounted.Make sure your anchor point (Clip and fixed gold band) for off the horse exercise is properly secure and can hold the desired weight.There are multiple off the horse exercises available on our website and rehabmypatient.com, demonstrating specific rider exercises and stretches with the bands.

    Autumn Grass Growth & NAF Five Star Laminaze
    Throughout the year its important to be aware of all the seasonal factors that will affect our horses. As the summer evenings start to draw in and the temperatures start to cool down, many horses diets will need adjusting. This is to compensate for varying in workloads and changing grass levels.Read on to discover how you can help to support your horse or pony during the transitioning months of the year. The following is written by Kate Hore RNutr(Animal) R.Anim.Technol (Cert). Head Nutritionist at NAF.September means looking ahead to autumn, with all that brings, from end of season championships, to fun rides, autumn training and maybe planning how to keep riding through those dreaded shorter days.As horse owners its important we dont take our eyes off the ball, and make sure we keep our horses sound, fit and ready to go through what for many is the best riding time of the year.One thing we can be sure of is, as the temperature isnt yet too cold, and were blessed with more frequent rainfall, the grass will be sure to grow! Autumn can catch owners out with sudden weight gain, possible behavioural changes, and issues associated with sudden dietary change, such as loose droppings from the grass flush. For some prone ponies and horses the risk is more serious, and we need to ensure that we are monitoring diet and exercise closely to maintain soundness and healthy, comfortable, laminae.With schools re-starting, the autumn flush of grass can coincide with a drop in exercise and fitness from less exercise, and if at all possible this should be avoided. Is there a light enough adult to take the pony out (check 20% rule), or could they be exercised ride and lead style from another horse? Lunging can also be useful, or simply leading out regularly walking them as you might take your dog for a walk.Whatever the exercise, do try to keep it up as the autumn progresses, and if you are at all concerned do check with your vet to ensure the level of exercise is suitable for that individual.Good doers can easily put on weight as the grass comes through. Use a weigh tape, such as the Shires Weighband, weekly to monitor changes. Although they can on occasion be inaccurate, particularly for very small ponies or very large horses, they do give you a good guide to any changes. Consider controlling grazing with strip grazing, or a track system. Grazing muzzles are also a good choice for some, if they are comfortable, but do ensure they are not left on for too long. If grazing needs to be restricted, it is advised to turnout at night with daily stabling, to maximise the benefits.Work closely with your Farrier. Whether they are shod or barefoot, it is important that they see your farrier (or suitable professional) regularly to ensure the hooves stay in good shape. Dont let your farrier leave the yard without booking the next date, and remember, between visits, a daily application of NAF PROFEET Farrier Solution is the professionals choice application for sound, strong hoof wall.NAF Laminaze PelletsTargeted supplementary support can be invaluable at this time of dietary change, and it is now easier than ever before to make sure they are getting just what they need. NAF Five Star Laminaze Pellets are now in an easy to feed pellet, so whether your horse or pony is on little, or even no, hard feed they are easy and tasty to feed.The targeted and unique formula of NAF Five Star Laminaze Pellets offers Five Star Treatment for prone horses and ponies who seem to live on fresh air and as a result, can be sensitive to seasonal pasture changes, which occur all year round.
