Supplement for your horse's tendons
Healthy tendons and ligaments are essential for smooth movement and a strong musculoskeletal system. The condition of tendons and ligaments may require extra attention due to training, age, or intensive use. Supplements can help support these structures, maintain load capacity, and improve your horse's overall comfort.
When do you choose a supplement for tendons and ligaments?
Supplements for tendons and ligaments are suitable for:
- Horses that are intensively trained or compete in sports
- Horses that can use extra support in maintaining supple, strong tendons
- Aging horses for whom the musculoskeletal system deserves extra attention
Important ingredients in tendon supplements
- Collagen – an important building block for connective tissue, supports structure and elasticity.
- Silicon – contributes to the development and maintenance of healthy connective tissue.
- Omega-3 fatty acids – support overall condition and circulation.
- MSM – natural source of sulfur, supports connective tissue.
- Antioxidants – protect cells against oxidative stress.
A supplement that is good for connective tissue always contains sulfur, also known as MSM (organically bound sulfur). Sulfur contributes to recovery. An MSM supplement that also contains Vitamin C promotes the absorption of MSM and protects cells (through antioxidants).

Cool your horse's legs too
We also always recommend cooling your horse's legs. We have several cooling products for your horse in our range.
If you prefer to cool your horse's legs with water, you can use the Equine Leg Cooler. However, cooling with water takes considerably more time, as the legs must be cooled for at least 20 minutes for the desired effect.
Dochorse also sells the Ice Vibe boots from Horseware. These cooling boots can be used for, but also to reduce windgalls, tendon injuries, bruises, and sprains.
