Horse finds this palatable and a low feed rate ensures that despite mild arthritis he stays comfortable.

Always found it to be effective and only down side is the very fine powder puffs up into the air when putting it into feeds.
Best alternative to bute

I have used Devils Claw for my elderly horses 23 & 25years old for a couple of years now and I find that it works on soundness & old age painful joints really well instead of using anything like Bute

Best devils claw product I have found, more effective than liquid form and more cost effective. Also quickest and least hassle on any delivery

It was recommended to me by a friend who uses it.  I have only just started using the Feedmark Devil's Claw but my horse is eating it no bother.  I have used the liquid devil's claw before but find the powder is more useable as I can make up his feed the day before.

Can I feed this when I compete under rules?

Devil’s Claw is not allowed under competition rules and should not be fed for at least 2 weeks prior to competing.

 

Is it safe to feed this when my horse has gastric issues? 

It is not recommended to feed Devils Claw to horses with gastric problems, as it is thought to increase stomach acid production.

 

My horse seems to have both muscle and joint issues: is this what you would recommend or would Activet or Boswellia be a better option?

For joint and muscle support we would recommend feeding ActiVet.
