Has anyone used this to relieve arthritis in their horses, just found a bit about it on Facebook and wondered if it was worth trying.

I use it on Pitstop who has a long term back problem. he has gone from struggling to walk when first put out in the mornings to cantering and bucking. I found the group on facebook a few weeks ago. Pitstop get 2 teaspoonfulls in his breakfast.

I used it on myself - worked better than any anti-inflammatory the GP prescribed...

Is Pitstop a Shetland? Just wondering about dose for Bug.

Just ordered 3kg from eBay so going to follow the recommendations and mix it with some oil and black pepper.
Baloo's arthritis is not terribly bad but now that I am riding him regularly I want to be sure that he is comfortable.

Pitstop is a Shetland Rosemary. he has been on bute off and on over the past 5 years. I can honestly say I have never seen him doing so well.

No horses but plenty of arthritis, I read this on another post and just had to re read this post as I think that's something I would try for me, I love a curry so always have Turmeric in stock!!.

This stuff has practically saved my stallions life, with in a week he went from barely being able to walk across the field to trotting then a couple of months later cantering and galloping around.  Doubt we would still have him if it wasn't for turmeric.  He was on danilon daily and still is but now on a lower dose. My boy is a shetland too but he is on quite a high dose he gets 4 table spoons in his breakfast.  Thankfully he loves it and licks his bucket clean.

My two love it too. Gonna try them on a vindaloo next week

Well Baloo has been on his turmeric for nearly 3 weeks and we are up to Tablespoonful a day, can't believe the difference in him, his whole demeanor has changed he is looking so much happier in the field. He was showing off the other day cantering circles and doing extended trots up the fence line. Haven't ridden because of the weather but have persuaded my daughter to ride him tomorrow as she will be able to tell immediately if he is as improved as I think.

Don't know if I missed it in earlier post but for the Turmeric to work best you should feed it with oil (coconut, linseed or olive) and freshly ground black pepper - now I'll run and hide if you already knew this
