"After two weeks, the results on my 17 year old Dressage mare astounded me.  The spring is back in her stride, her extension has increased and she no longer drags her hind legs prior to warm up.  I won't use another product now that I've found Flex Plus Liquid"

Flex Plus Powder

A New Generation Mobility Supplement which protects, nourishes and lubricates the cartilage in joints.

What does Flex Plus Powder do?

• Glucosamine Hcl enhances the level of glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) in the joint.  These GAG's are the building blocks in the cartilage matrix.  Glucosamine Hcl will increase the Hyaluronate content in the legs.  Hyaluronate is a fundamental component of Synovial Fluid - the the joint lubricant.


• Chondroitin Sulphate is a natural 'water magnet' in the joint.  Adequate amounts of Chondroitin Sulphate enable the joints to withstand constant compression and concussion.  Chondroitin Sulphate also inhibits the 'cartilage chewing' enzymes that are present in damaged joints.


• MSM is a source of bioavailable sulpher.  Sulpher is needed for the synthesis of connective tissue.  Therefore MSM can function as a co-factor of Glucosamine Hcl and Chondroitin Sulphate in the repair of the cartilage matrix.  MSM is also associated with the relief of inflammatory conditions.

Why do I need Flex Plus Powder?

• Injury and disease from wear and tear are common disorders of the horse.  The traditional approach to these injuries was pain killers and anti-flammatory agents.  Research has shown that this approach only serves to mask the underlying problem.  Flex Plus Powder is a new generation mobility supplement which contains the proven ingredients that actually reverse the damage caused by wear and tear.  Flex Plus Powder delivers the 'building blocks' needed to repair damaged and/or eroded cartilage in joints.

• 1.5kg, 4.5kg, 9kg.

Tying Up Syndrome. The Facts………
Also known as exertional rhabdomyolysis, Azoturia, Monday morning disease, Set-fast, Paralytic myoglobinuria and Polysaccharide storage myopathy.

What is Tying up?
This is a muscular problem in the horse caused by the inability within the muscle tissue to eliminate the lactic acid that builds up during exercise quickly enough and thus allows it to reach toxic levels. This typically manifests with varying degrees of discomfort ranging from stiffness and mild cramps to severe cramping and inability to move to recumbency in severest cases.

What are the clinical signs?
In mild cases hind leg stiffness and a shuffling gait may be seen. Pain may be elicited on palpation of the back and gluteal muscles. Transient mild to moderate gait abnormalities may be observed. Severely affected animals may suffer marked muscle cramping or inability to move. Affected horses become very anxious, they may sweat profusely, have elevated heart and respiratory rates. Signs of extreme pain may be evident if it is attempted to move the horse. If the horse urinates, the urine may be discoloured red with myoglobin, a breakdown product of muscle.

What should you do when encountering a case?
Stop exercise immediately. Do not keep him walking. Moderate to severe cases should be seen by your vet. Provide the horse with water and add electrolytes if the horse will drink the solution. Anti-inflammatory and intravenous fluids may be necessary as myoglobin is toxic to the kidneys. How may one prevent it? Use Fast Finish 100ml a day for two days prior to event, on the day of the event and for two days after. Diet and exercise are very important. Maintain a regular level of exercise and any increases to level of training should be gradual. Susceptible horses should have less grain and increased fat in the diet. A balanced source of electrolytes and minerals is important. Calcium, phosphorous, vitamin E and selenium are important in the diet. After a tying up episode the horse should be rested until the muscles have repaired. This should involve limited turn out as complete box rest may be counter productive. The horse should then be brought back to the same level of exercise slowly.
