Horse Supplements for Health and Performance
Even with the best feed and management, most horses benefit from targeted supplementation. Whether it's supporting joint health in older horses, promoting hoof growth, calming a nervous temperament, or boosting performance, the right supplement fills the gaps that diet alone can't cover. Solo Saddlers stocks trusted supplement brands used by South African horse owners across all disciplines.
Joint and Mobility Support
Joint supplements are among the most commonly fed in the equestrian world — and for good reason. Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and hyaluronic acid all play a role in maintaining joint health and reducing stiffness. We carry products suited to horses in hard work, older horses, and those recovering from joint injuries. Starting joint support early can slow the onset of age-related changes significantly.
Hoof Supplements
Biotin is the go-to ingredient for hoof growth, but the best hoof supplements combine it with methionine, zinc, and other nutrients that support hoof wall integrity. If your horse has weak, crumbly hooves or struggles to hold shoes, a quality hoof supplement — paired with products from our Hoof Care collection — can make a real difference over time.
Digestive Health
The equine gut is surprisingly delicate. Probiotics, prebiotics, and gut balancers support healthy digestion and reduce the risk of colic and loose droppings. They're particularly useful during feed changes, after courses of medication, or for horses prone to digestive upset.
Calming Supplements
For horses that are anxious, spooky, or difficult to manage in stressful situations, magnesium-based and herbal calming supplements can take the edge off without dulling performance. They're popular for competition horses, horses in new environments, and those going through changes in routine.
Performance and Recovery
Electrolytes, iron, B-vitamins, and other performance-focused supplements support horses in heavy work. Browse our Veterinary range for electrolyte replacements, and check the Grooming collection for coat supplements that show results on the outside. Solo Saddlers has been supporting South African horses and their riders for over 35 years — with the right nutrition behind them.
