Riding To Excellence

At Energy Equine's recent Sports Therapy Lecture Series, a study was discussed that provides evidence that glucosamine can be a prophylactic. On Episode Four of Riding to Excellence, we delve into “Influence of oral glucosamine supplementation in your hoses challenged with intra-articular lipopolysaccharide.” This study was published by researchers from Texas A&M University, including JL Leatherwood, KL Gehl and JA Coverdale in the Journal of Animal Science in August of 2016.

On today's podcast, Dr. Chad Hewlett digs deeper into the study, discusses the positive implications of the researchers findings and touches on his own thoughts about glucosamine as a prophylactic in inflammation of the equine joint.

On Episode 3 of Riding To Excellence we sit down with Dr. Stephen Duren, a top equine nutritionist with Performance Horse Nutrition.
