Frequently Asked Questions

Actistatin® Equine is a daily joint-support supplement designed for horses in regular work, competition, aging performance, or recovery periods. It’s intended to support joint comfort, mobility, and long-term soundness as part of a consistent feeding program.

Actistatin® Equine is commonly used for:

• Competition horses (jumpers, dressage, eventing, racing, etc.)
• Horses in consistent training or heavy workload
• Aging performance horses
• Horses returning to work after downtime or joint stress

Most barns start when a horse enters consistent work, begins competing, ages into heavier maintenance needs, or shows early signs of stiffness during warm-up. Many programs are most effective when started before issues become limiting.

Mix it directly into the horse’s daily feed. For best results, feed it consistently every day rather than using it “on/off.”

Timelines vary by horse, workload, age, and baseline joint status. Many barns assess changes over a consistent 30–60 day feeding period, then continue daily use for ongoing support.

Yes — Actistatin® Equine is designed for long-term, daily use as part of a routine feed program.

Most barns use Actistatin® Equine continuously. Joint support tends to work best when it becomes a stable part of the daily program rather than short, intermittent cycles.

Feedback varies, but trainers often look for:

• Improved willingness to move forward
• Less stiffness during warm-up
• More consistent way of going under saddle
• Fewer joint-related interruptions to training consistency

In most barns, yes. If your horse is already on multiple supplements, consider simplifying the program so you can evaluate what’s working. If your horse is under veterinary care or on medications, consult your veterinarian before making changes.

Yes. Actistatin® Equine is commonly used for horses under regular training and competition workloads where maintaining comfort and freedom of movement is a priority.

Yes. Many barns use daily joint support for older horses to help maintain mobility, comfort, and consistent movement.

Actistatin® Equine is often included as part of a consistent return-to-work feeding program to support comfort and mobility as workload gradually increases. Always follow your veterinarian’s rehab plan.

No. Actistatin® Equine is a nutritional supplement intended to support normal joint function. If your horse is lame, has persistent swelling, heat, or a sudden change in movement, consult your veterinarian.

No. Joint support works best as a consistent daily program. Most barns evaluate results over time and keep it in the feed to maintain benefits.

Because joint-support ingredients are typically most effective when maintained at steady daily levels. Intermittent use can make results harder to assess and less consistent.

No supplement works the same for every horse. Age, workload, footing, conformation, training intensity, and baseline joint status all influence outcomes. A consistent trial period and routine feeding make evaluation clearer.

Many barns do, but feeding amounts should reflect bodyweight and total program goals.

Keep variables steady:

• Don’t change workload, farrier schedule, or multiple supplements at the same time
• Track warm-up stiffness, stride quality, and recovery day-to-day
• Evaluate over a consistent 30–60 day period

Rules vary by discipline and governing body. Always check your specific competition regulations.

Actistatin® Equine is designed to be easy to mix into daily feed. If your horse is sensitive to new additions, introduce gradually over a few days and mix into a familiar base feed.
