Farrier's Formula®
DS Plus Joint
More Than a Joint Supplement for Horses
Farrier’s Formula® DS Plus Joint is more than an equine joint supplement. It is a pelleted formula that delivers active ingredients to repair the hooves and joints of horses, while also restoring skin condition and hair coat color. Farrier’s Formula® DS Plus Joint contains ornithine, proline, manganese and sulfur to provide targeted joint support and repair for horses. Even the best joint supplement for horses can lead to excessive sulfur supplementation when fed alongside a hoof supplement. Farrier’s Formula® DS Plus Joint eliminates the risk of sulfur over supplementation by providing active ingredients to support the joints and the hooves in one product. The level of sulfur provided at the recommended Adult Replenishment Dosage for an average 1,000-pound horse is equivalent to 3,500 mg of MSM. Farrier’s Formula® DS Plus Joint provides omega 3 fatty acids, phospholipids, zinc and copper to rebuild skin and hair coat to a healthy and vibrant condition. Farrier’s Formula® DS Plus Joint is suitable for all ages and work levels. Available in 11 lb. nitrogen flushed vacuum bags. Measuring cup not included in 11 lb bag.

Farrier's Formula® DS Plus Joint Testimonials
“Charger started looking “bright,” and one hoof that particularly worried me —(It looked like he had sliced it on wire fencing) started to improve within a couple of weeks. I made him jog next to me for a few steps to start building his heart muscle. Then he started trotting when he saw me come with that lunch snack—a beautiful, flowing gait that said “Saddlebred” in every step. One day the trot changed to a canter: “Where’s my snack?” He looked happy. We added some soaked beet pulp and rice bran, but our core supplement is Farrier’s Formula DS Plus Joint. It is worth every penny, and I still feed it by hand. I don’t want a single pellet to be wasted.”"
