How Hydra-flex CARE offers the best supplement for stiff horses:
A lack of joint lubricant combined with general wear and tear results in poor cartilage health. This causes remodelling, bone spurs and degenerative joint disease in horses.
When cartilage begins to deteriorate, movement becomes stiff with joints become inflamed and sore. Eventually, this friction results in the joint ends eroding away to the point where cartilage disappears and the joint ends touch. This bone on bone is also known as osteoarthritis causing the animal pain, inflammation and reduced quality of life.
Hydra-flex CARE the best supplement for stiff horses is a premium specialised supplement for aging joints and joint stiffness. It can also be used as a preventative to maintain great joint health. Hydra-flex Care contains high strength ingredients to encourage healthy cartilage and synovial fluid as well as providing comfort and ease to movement. Hydra-flex contains 100 % active ingredients and is free of fillers.
Benefits of Hydra-flex CARE:
Scientifically proven ingredients and levels:
Glucosamine benefits at oral administration of 10,000 or more is demonstrated to be an integral part of helping to strengthen, maintain and protect cartilage (ref: American Journal of Veterinary Research Medicine, 2008). It also demonstrated in a study to reduce inflammation inside the joint capsule on young horses after joint trauma. (ref: Journal of Animal Health 2016, 94: 3294-3302).
MSM benefits supports muscular, skeletal and connective tissues as well as controls inflammation in the body. High levels of MSM at a rate of 20 grams daily was demonstrated in clinical assessments to effectively reduce inflammation in horses. The pathway is not entirely known but it is thought sulphur lowers inflammation be lending a donor (Sulphur) molecule that is used in the pathways for internal reactions. MSM also has a solvent action enhancing the effect of substances.
Hyaluronic acid benefits also known as HA is a primary component of the synovial fluid providing a slip surface. This “slip” helps to lessen friction on cartilage surfaces and with its very hygroscopic properties, it binds many times its on weight in water also keeping the cartilage hydrated and healthy. Cartilage bathes in the joint capsule and it is here where it absorbs its nutrition from the body.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid is the only form that should be used for oral consumption in horses. This form is superior to low molecular weight HA as cell receptors recognise this as being similar to native HA (the HA the body naturally manufactures). This is proven by science to be the best absorbed and as a result is the hyaluronic acid of choice in equine joint supplements (ref: Journal of applied Nutrition, volume 54, 1, 2004), Therefore, high molecular weight HA is the only hyaluronic acid that provides proven joint benefits. Beware of low molecular weight hyaluronic acids, as this is inferior and cannot be regarded to provide the same joint benefits.
Collagen Peptides benefits proven by science to be the most absorbable form of collagen encouraging healthy bone, cartilage, skin, tendons and ligaments and repair.
Clinical studies have been impressive showing regeneration of damaged cartilage cells.
As collagen is lost when the body ages this has becomes an important component in maintaining joint as well as connective tissue health.
Devils claw benefits a highly concentrated form offers high potency at a low dose for more protection of joints.
Scientific studies show devils claw extract to be highly effective as an anti-inflammatory and relief ingredient by blocking the pain mediators that cause and initiate sore, inflamed joints.
Inflammation is damaging and therefore it is important this is controlled.
The process of inflammation releases enzymes which weaken tissue and cartilage, accelerating damage to cells and pain and swelling.
Why use Hydra-flex Care the best supplement for stiff horses?
Hydra-flex Care the best supplement for stiff horses! contains a potent blend of ingredients to help nourish joints and increase the comfort and flexion in your horse.

Micronizing is a “Short Time, High Temperature” patented process using the grains moisture and infrared heat to achieve conditions essential for the optimal cooking of starch and starch gelatinisation. During processing the grain becomes soft and pliable, causing the reconfiguration of the starch structure (gelatinisation). Immediate flaking fully gelatinises the starches so as to significantly enhance the digestibility and nutritional value of the feed.
The small intestine is the epicentre of nutrient digestion in the horse. Vitamins, minerals, fats, protein and starch are readily absorbed in the small intestine. Research shows that feed digested in the small intestine significantly increases the rate of glucose (energy) absorption. Micronizing lupins improves feed efficiency and digestibility and eliminates anti nutritional factors which can have a detrimental affect on amino acid availability limiting growth and development, appetite and the general health and well being of the horse.
MICRLUPINS® transfer the site of digestion back to the small intestine improving feed efficiency and reducing the burden on the hind gut resulting in fewer incidences of dietary induced problems such as colic, acidosis, laminitis, loss of appetite, nervousness, fatigue and reduced performance.
HYGAIN® MICRONIZED feeds and MICRGRAIN’S® provide nutritional benefits for all classes of horses.

Dunstan Extruded Maize 25KG
Available via Pre Order
Please note this product cannot be shipped due to size and weight. In store pick up only.
Maize provides an energy-dense supplement feed for horses with increased calorie demands for performance or when requiring weight gain. However, it is not a suitable feed stuff for horses in an uncooked state due to its lack of preceacal digestibly. The extrusion or cooking process, when applied to Maize, raises digestibility in the small intestine from around 30% to 90%. Therefore Dunstan Extruded Maize is a safe way to provide this energy-dense grain to the diets of performance horses, providing them with the necessary ‘fuel’ to perform.
The addition of Vegetable Oil during the extrusion process enhances the energy value of the product whilst adding essential fatty acids to aid cellular integrity and skin and coat appearance.
Dunstan Extruded Maize is presented as small discs and when fed in conjunction with a balanced diet for protein, fibre, minerals and vitamins, provides a highly available energy source for hard-working horses or where an extra condition is required.
Equine Safe
Dunstan Horsefeeds are produced in Equine-Safe manufacturing plants, ensuring a product of premium quality, safety and performance.

Additional calcium is required for:
- Pregnant mares to build the skeleton (and other tissues) of the unborn foal
- Lactating mares especially until the foal is about 3 months old. Young foals take virtually all their nutrition from their mother's milk. For instance if Mum doesn't receive enough calcium from her diet then it is dragged out of her bones to supply the needs of the growing foal. This is detrimental to her long term health and means the foal may not get all he requires to be strong and healthy
- Horses that are working hard suffer a lot of 'wear and tear' and can lose calcium in their sweat
- Oxalates present in certain grasses, (especially kikuyu in New Zealand) bind up the calcium making it unavailable to the horse. The organic calcium in Xtra Cal is already bound so cannot be bound by oxalates and is therefore available to the horse.
* Pregnant and lactating mares that are also grazing oxalate grasses are very vulnerable to calcium deficiency.
