"Just finished the Adequan IM 7 shot series. I have used both Adequan and Legend for both of my TWH geldings (ages 22 and 9). I am sure the Adequan is helpful as a preventative and does its job, however, the Legend provides a noticeable difference and more forward, smooth gait. I prefer Legend over Adequan, however, the downside is the vet must inject it, at least for me. I will be doing Legend boosters throughout show season for my younger horse. Next year, I will stick with the Legend and his daily Cosequin."

"First off, don't go into joint maintenance expecting anything to solve all your problems and you won't be disappointed! I put Major on the loading dose and now he's on it once a month. I didn't experience any immediate results as expected but he does seem more forward and willing to bend and come over his back, but I changed LOTS of stuff around trying to find something that worked so I don't know whether this is what finally did the trick or some of the supplements I've been playing with.
Plus Hytryl is less expensive and has more HA than Legend and did I mention less expensive ;)
Overall I'd suggest trying Adequan before jumping into Legend just to see if you can get away with the least expensive of the three. Then if there's no stellar results try the Hytryl. Legend is just a name brand, no need to pay this much!"

"I would recommend Legends for show horses or old horses who need some management. Keeps the horses going and is great for them. It might be expensive but it can truly help and is worth the price."

"Legend is a little bottle of gold! Not only because of the price (its pricey no doubt), but for what it does for my 15 year old eventer. I have had him since the day he was born and have competed up to Prelim on him. This helps him feel as great as he did when he was 6 years old and doing Novice!"

"My vet suggested Legend IV for my 8 yr old Walker. He was not lame but felt a little stiff on one side. He is incredibly smooth and silky to ride after his Legend IV injections. It feels like a whole new horse. Pretty amazing really. Wish I had the money to do this all the time. Will stick with the series of 3 and maybe one additional prior to training/show season for the summer. Have him on Smart Combo pellets too as a daily support. I highly recommend trying Legend, it's an incredible product."

"Our quarter horse, now 22, started to get very stiff a few years ago. The vet suggested we try Legend. The difference is amazing. I wish it was sub-Q and didn't require a vet visit, and it is pricey, but worth it not to have him in pain and cranky. We started learning dressage when he turned 22 and I doubt he could do it without the Legend. We have the vet give it once a month. It can take a couple of months to "kick in." He also gets daily exercise, another must for all horses."

"My horse has arthritis and muscle wasting. In her case, the vet said that she needed more exercise. So we started out just exercising, but she was having trouble, so we broke down and bought the multi-dose vial. It's expensive, however along with the exercise she's developed more muscle and her gaits are so much smoother. It's been about 6 months."

"I tried a legend shot on my horse to see what sort of effect it would have. He is usually a rather mellow, push horse. After the legend shot, I felt like I had a freight train under me. He jumped better than he had in years. I haven't done it since due to the cost but it would be ideal before big shows."

"We did two injections into our senior tb thinking it would help his joints and movements be more fluid. For the amount of money each shot costs, not counting the pain it is to get the prescription from the vet, it really showed no changes in our horse and in my mind it personally wasn't worth it. Some horses it works miracles, others it really doesn't. It's all trial and error I guess."

"This product is excellent for the maintenance for horses with joint diseases.
The only drawback is the need to administer via IV. It can take some time to get comfortable administering and you will need to have someone knowledgable teach you about the process and supervise you until you get proficient at the process."

"Legend keeps my horse moving freely. She has been using it for the past four years after our vet recommended it. She is a big mare and the Legend seems to keep her joints happy. We notice that near the end of the month that she is ready for the next injection and goes better once she gets it."

Perfect for aging horses!

By*Hunterjumper*

"My 16 yr. old Hunter/Jumper began to have aches and pains in his hocks and back leg joints. The vet recommended that we try the Legend Series, so we did. I saw dramatic results in his performance and demeanor within a few weeks! I certainly recommend Legend to all my friends and their performance horses that are getting older in age."
