Synovial fluid plays a crucial role in equine mobility, acting as the natural lubricant and shock absorber inside every joint. In healthy horses, this fluid cushions the cartilage surfaces and reduces friction during movement. But in performance horses under high mechanical stress, such as racers, reiners, or ropers, inflammation can degrade synovial fluid, leading to stiffness, pain, and eventual tissue breakdown.
Supporting Joint Function
StrideGuard is designed to behave like healthy synovial fluid. With viscoelastic, shear-thinning properties, it maintains joint glide during high activity and quickly restores lubrication after stress. By supporting the health of the synovial membrane and encouraging matrix remodeling, StrideGuard goes beyond temporary relief. It helps preserve long-term joint function in horses who need to stay strong, sound, and competitive.
