Wellington, Florida – With countless joint supplements and therapies on the market, separating evidence from marketing can be challenging. HorseGrooms invites horse owners, grooms, riders, trainers, veterinarians, and equestrian professionals to join its webinar “The Science Behind Equine Joint Support: What Does the Evidence Say?”, presented by board-certified equine sports medicine veterinarian Dr. Christopher (Chris) Elliott.
The live webinar will take place on Tuesday, August 4, at 7:00 p.m. ET in the online HorseGrooms Community and is open to everyone.
With countless joint supplements and therapies available on the market, it can be difficult to distinguish evidence-based treatments from marketing claims. During this webinar, Dr. Elliott will examine the scientific research behind commonly used oral supplements and injectable therapies, helping participants better understand how veterinarians evaluate joint support options and make informed clinical decisions.
Topics will include:
- Evaluating joint support products using scientific evidence
- Oral supplements versus injectable therapies
- Ingredients and medications supported by current research
- The role of inflammation in joint health
- Practical considerations for horse owners and care professionals
“It’s important to know what you’re actually giving your horse. Everyone wants to support their horse’s joints, but not all joint support products are created equal,” says Dr. Elliott.
Dr. Elliott is a board-certified equine veterinarian specializing in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. Originally from Brisbane, Australia, he works with Palm Beach Equine Clinic in Wellington, Florida, and serves as an FEI Official Veterinarian and Veterinary Delegate at international competitions around the world. He has worked at FEI events in more than 20 countries, including the Tokyo and Paris Olympic Games, the Beijing Paralympic Games, and multiple FEI World Cup Finals. He also serves as the Veterinary Services Manager for FEI competitions at Wellington International.
This marks another educational collaboration between HorseGrooms and Dr. Elliott, who has become a valued contributor to the organization’s mission of making high-quality equine education accessible to horse care professionals worldwide.
