Equine America Supplements

A family-run business, Equine America® was founded in 1997 by Phil and Julie Middleton in South Carolina USA. However, when Phil and Julie’s son Lee took over the business in 2018, he moved all Equine America® production to the UK, where world-leading nutritionist Deborah Lucas develops the formulation of all Equine America® supplements.

Here’s what Equine America® has to say about their company, “All our products are manufactured in the UK, in food industry standard factories, using only the freshest, most innovative and effective ingredients available from approved suppliers. We use state of the art, unique, fingerprint laser quality testing on every single ingredient to ensure a uniform strength and quality along with an exclusive mixing process to ensure that each scoop contains equal amounts of active ingredients. Our BETA NOPS and UFAS accreditations reassure customers that our products do not contain prohibited substances. We also comply with the regulations administered by the UK Veterinary Medicines Directorate and the Food Standards Agency.”

Perhaps the best-known supplement produced by Equine America® is Cortaflex® – a joint supplement available in specialist formulations for horses, dogs, cats, and humans.

As stated on the Equine America® website, “Continual pounding on hard ground can be extremely demanding on a horse’s joints, leading to abnormal wear and tear over time. Cortaflex for horses is an effective way of managing your horse’s joint health by providing them with the nutrients they need to prevent damage to the joints from excessive wear and tear. We offer a range of Cortaflex products, including Cortaflex® HA Regular for those in light to medium work or of an older age, and Cortaflex® HA Super Fenn which is a super strength formulation and is ideal for horses dealing with high workloads.”

Focusing on the key areas of horse health that concern owners and require ongoing veterinary care, Equine America have developed a range of supplements to provide nutritional support for common conditions affecting horses. The extensive range includes supportive products such as a daily vitamin and mineral supplement suitable for all horse and ponies, Equine America Everyday Vitamins and Minerals, a hoof supplement for challenged hooves, Equine America Hoof Support Plus, and supplement for mares in season (or those prone to moods!) Equine America No More Moods alongside products for specific conditions. The need for an ever expanding range of supplements stems from the changing requirements of horses. They are living longer, their lifestyles are changing including more time inside and less turnout with exposure to harsh wet winters and hot summers alongside more challenging training regimes. Equine America offer the most innovative supplement range on the market, supplied through Discount Equestrian, to address the changing need of the horse.
