Vet has recomended tildren for grenville artheritis but it is expensive and the insurance isn't sure whether it will cover us (it hasn't had much testing) just wondered the success rate of using tildren if anyone knows? Also suplement recomendations would be good as vet said cortaflex but at £85 a tub it isn't cheap!

I used cortaflex on my pony, she had really bad artheritis in her knees, they use to give way & she was always stumbling, at first she also had bute but after being on both for a few months I only gave her bute the night before & after 10 mile xc rides just to make sure she was ok.! the cortaflex was fantastic.

All i can say is my horse was diagnosied with Navicular 17 months ago and we tried Tidren as id done alot of research on the internet,and spoke to some one else whose horse had had it.It is used abroad quite a lot for Artheritis and other problems , but less here. My horse is insured and the cost was coverd. At the minute she is sound , i have lessons weekly and do dressage and a bit of showing and she seems to be enjoying her life.As long as your carefull in what you do ie i dont ride her on hard ground, and wouldnt dream of cross country, nothing to agrivate the condition I dont know how long it will last but i would try it again without a dought. Also i have her on Recovery Eq with ha, cant be bought here but can be purchased from internet. Read about this theres some usful infor on website Horsewarehouse.com i only found this last night. Both things expensive but if it helps to keep your horse fit worth trying. I now have to save in case of recurrant lame ness as no longer insurance pay only once. Hope this helps let me know how you get on i would be interested, and good luck.

Thanks for the replies, never heard of magnetic bands but will try it and insurance has said they will pay for tildren so we will try that too as i think i will trust my rather excited vet lol he gets really excited to see what a 'new' drug can do. Also can't help but to ride on hard ground as we have had so little rain but never go for more than a light slow canter on the non-rutted hard ground and usually don't venture faster than trot but now we have all weather gallops which grenville LOVES... Thanks for advice again :)

Be wary of suppressive treatments that may reduce inflammation but may speed joint deterioration in other directions. I would recommend herbal or homeopathic options as well as the suggested magnotherapy. If your vet wishes to use your horse as a guinea-pig I presume they're happy to supply the tildren free of charge?! Best wishes HorseVet

Thanks for the reply and i have heard tildren is big in the states but new in the uk but insurance has said they will pay for it, i have bought as many recomended suplements as i can and cider vinegar (old tip) and i am still looking for magnetic bands :)... I just hope my vet is right and the tildren works...

What about Pentazan or Cosequin injections? They're popular at the yard I board at (the former being the cheaper).
