UltraCruz® Equine Senior Joint Supplement for Horses

  • Contains ingredients that support healthy joint and connective tissue integrity
  • Beneficial for senior horses
  • Soy free formulation

UltraCruz® Equine Senior Joint Supplement for Horses is a joint supplement for senior horses that provides key ingredients in a balanced formula designed to maintain joint health. It may also help relieve inflammation associated with normal daily exercise and activity.

Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine work together to support new and existing cartilage.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a component of synovial fluid in the joint capsule and surrounding supportive tissues, and helps to lubricate the joint.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a source of sulfur that has been shown to provide building blocks for cartilage.

* Devil's Claw is published by US Equestrian as a prohibited substance in competition.

Pellet vs. Powder Supplement Formulations

UltraCruz® Supplements are now available in pelletized formulations. By using pellets, rather than powder, we have been able to:

  • Ensure stability of active ingredients
  • Maximize product freshness
  • Reduce waste

All San Juan Ranch performance and breeding horses use UltraCruz® Equine pelletized products.

I received UltraCruz® Equine Senior Joint Care a month ago as my 26 yr old horse was diagnosed with ring bone & could no longer trot without a limp let alone canter. I had him on another product with much improvement, but after price shopping, I have switched him to UltraCruz Equine Senior Joint Care last month & we went for our first spring ride this week & he had energy & had a lovely trot & canter on the trails and didn't appear to be in any pain. If this continues, I am sold because with this brand I save 57.00 evey 170 days compared to what I was paying with another brand & this has the same active ingredients & is soy free!!

UltraCruz® Equine Senior Joint Care for Horses to replace my UltraCruz Equine Glucosamine Sulfate and MSM products, which I have been feeding for over a year. The Senior Joint Care has a more complete "package" so thought I would try to give him an complete joint care supplement. He had no problem with the change. He must like the taste as he pushes his mouth around so he can eat these pellets first! He hasn't been on them long enough for me to give a complete review but he is cantering around the pasture without any issues. I like Santa Cruz products and when ordering on line they arrive very fast.

Hi, Our supplements last about a year after they are made and packaged. As long as they are resealed and stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, they will be good until the expiration date.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One stop shop - it has it all! This is the only joint supplement that I’ve found that has MSM, glucosamine, Chondroitin, boswellia, and hyaluronic acid, at a reasonable price. I’d been giving it to my two horses with navicular but recently learned that it’s likely helpful for three of my other horses too, who are “easy keepers”. I’ve been using this product for about 3 months now with the navicular horses (just started using it a few days ago with the three others I mentioned) and have noticed that the 21 one year old navicular horse is loping in over hard frozen ground for her supplement and the other one was out bucking and farting with the youngsters. So, I think it’s helping them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is the best ever My 27 year old horse was stiff and never moved above a walk. I put him on this supplement about three months ago and he is a different horse. He trots and runs everywhere now. Plays with the other horses and is much happier. I am amazed and so glad I found Santa Cruz. Best think I have done for my horse as he aged.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I've been using this joint supplement for three or four years now. I love that I can buy a 25 lb container and it lasts for 6 months, after tons of research and switching through multiple products this is the best joint supplement I found that has high levels of quality ingredients for my senior horse at a much better price than the local feed stores. I don't ever plan on switching to another joint supplement. I'd recommend this to anyone. I'll be honest that I have not noticed a visible difference in my horses stiffness, but her arthritis does not seem to have progressed or gotten worse, for a 27-year-old horse she's doing really well and I certainly think quality supplements have contributed to that!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I have a 32 year Morgan, prior to using this product my farrier could not trim his rear legs without the use of a shot of bute. I started giving the Senior Joint Care to my horse and the last time my farrier came to trim he was amazed in which he could lift his legs with little or no resistance. I also noticed my horse is more active .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressed I started my 24 year old mare in this supplement and within 3 days she actually ate all her grain. This horse will eat hay until the cows come home, but unfortunately at 17.3 she also needs grain. I've exhausted every avenue with trying to get this horse to eat. Let's hope this continues! Oh and she refuses to eat supplements. I gave her this supplement and she ate it right out of my hand. That is unheard of for this horse.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Saved my horses I started 2 of my Senior horses on this product. They both, after about a month, were moving so much more comfortable (both 23 years old and now feeling frisky). The results were so amazing I now have all 4 of my horses on this supplement and set it up on auto shipment so I’m sure never to run out. My one 23 year old is blind and very arthritic. It was getting so bad it was very difficult for the farrier and turning out was difficult because he just didn’t want to move. It was so bad I started thinking it was probably more humane to put him down. I started him on this supplement after reviewing the ingredients and thought it was such a complete product. I saw gradual improvements and after approximately 6 months he’s frisky and bucking and happy❤️

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Will continue to order- great supplement! This is my second time ordering the 6 month supply of ultra Cruz Sr. Joint Care. My 28 yr old horse seems less sore on rides ever since I started purchasing this product. My horse has ring bone and I have notice he seems less stiff thru his gaits when riddeen & has even started cantering in his pasture.
