My vet is recommending that I do either Adequan or Legend for my 6yr old barrel horse who I recently found out has collapsing hocks. One joint in his left hock is in the process of collapsing and fusing and the right is starting to show signs that it's going to do the same thing. Once he's fused the vet gave him 75% chance of being 100% sound. I did have his hocks both injected and he is on Cosequin ASU for a supplement. They are also recommening the injections of Adequan or Legend. My vet said that usually she recommends Legend for younger sport horses. Does anyone know which one does work better for the younger sport horse? The legend is also the more expensive of the two and if I go with that I want to make sure it will help him more then the Adequan does. Also how often after the first month do they need to get it?

I use to inject both every six months on my old show horse. It really helps a lot. If you can afford it I feel like they help eachother do their jobs so you get the best possible results.
