Product Pairing | Cortaflex® Super Fenn + Buteless® Super Strength

Two products. One goal: helping your horse stay comfortable and moving at their best.

While both products support mobility, they each have a different role to play—which is why they make such a popular combination.

Cortaflex® Super Fenn
Think of Cortaflex Super Fenn as support from the inside out.
It provides the key nutritional building blocks to help maintain healthy cartilage, joints and connective tissue, while also containing Boswellia for additional joint support. It's ideal for horses in harder work, competition horses and veterans.

Buteless® Super Strength
Buteless Super Strength is our most concentrated comfort formulation, designed to provide enhanced nutritional support for comfort and mobility.

Containing Boswellia, MSM and Yucca, it helps support normal joint and muscle function, making it an excellent choice for horses with demanding workloads, older horses, or those requiring additional support to stay comfortable.

Why feed them together?
Because they complement each other.

Cortaflex Super Fenn focuses on supporting long-term joint health and maintaining healthy cartilage.

Buteless Super Strength provides enhanced nutritional support to help maintain comfort and mobility, particularly for horses under greater physical demands.

Together, they offer comprehensive support for horses with demanding workloads, older horses, or those that simply benefit from extra nutritional support to keep them feeling and performing at their best.

Why Prevention Beats Cure

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that joint supplements are only needed once a horse starts showing signs of stiffness.

Julie Davey knows differently.

As an international World Cup showjumper and 2026 World Cup Finalist, Julie has always believed that prevention is far more effective than trying to play catch-up. Keeping horses performing at their best starts long before problems become visible.

Every stride your horse takes places stress on their joints. Whether they're competing at the highest level, out hacking, breeding, growing, or simply enjoying life in the paddock, that daily movement creates natural wear over time.

By introducing quality joint support early, you're helping provide the key nutritional building blocks that support healthy cartilage, joint fluid and long-term mobility—before stiffness has a chance to become an issue.

🎥 In this video, Julie shares why she's such a passionate advocate for proactive joint care, and why supporting your horse's joints from the beginning has been an important part of her management programme.

The Equine America Cortaflex® range is designed to provide nutritional joint support for horses at every stage of life—from young horses just starting out through to seasoned performance athletes and treasured retirees.

Support today. Benefit tomorrow.

One of the questions we get asked most is:
"What's the difference between the Cortaflex products?"

BRITISH EVENTING STATEMENT

It is with immense sadness that British Eventing confirms the tragic loss of Sophie Fouracre and Kerry Donoghue following separate incidents on Saturday 18th July 2026.

Sophie Fouracre, aged 34, was fatally injured in a cross-country accident riding Rhubarbsfox Brittania, at Swalcliffe Park, Oxfordshire, England.

Hours later at Penrith in Cumbria, Kerry Donoghue, aged 42, died following a cross-country accident riding Carneyhaugh Rua.

At both venues, the event medical teams responded immediately and provided emergency treatment. Despite their best efforts sadly neither rider could be saved.

Both horses were examined by the attending veterinary team and were found to be uninjured.

Rosie Williams, Chief Executive of British Eventing, said: “The British Eventing community is heartbroken. On behalf of everyone at British Eventing, I want to extend our deepest condolences to Kerry and Sophie's families, friends and loved ones at this devastating time. Our thoughts are also with their fellow competitors, organisers, officials, volunteers and everyone who has been affected by these tragic events.

“We are immensely grateful to the organisers, doctors, paramedics, veterinary teams, officials and emergency services at both events for the professionalism, compassion and care they showed in the most difficult of circumstances.

“The loss of two members of our eventing family on the same day is almost beyond words, and we know the sadness of these events will be felt profoundly across the sport for some time to come.”

In accordance with British Eventing's safety and incident review procedures, comprehensive reviews of both accidents will now be undertaken.

We recognise the impact these tragic events will have across the eventing community. Anyone affected is encouraged to seek support through the British Eventing Support Trust Helpline, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on 07780 008877.

We respectfully ask that the privacy of both families is respected during this incredibly difficult time.

🐎Winter Joint Support — Why It Matters More Than Ever!!

As temperatures drop, it's not just us who can feel a little stiffer… our horses can too.

Choosing the right joint supplement can also help provide nutritional support throughout the colder months.

⭐️Glucosamine HCI 12,000 Xtra Strength Powder- a great value joint and mobility for all horses and ponies.
⭐Cortaflex® HA Regular Strength – Ideal for everyday maintenance and younger or leisure horses.
⭐Cortaflex® HA Super Fenn – Designed for competition horses, veterans, or those needing additional joint support.
⭐Cortaflex® Recovery – Our most advanced formula, ideal for horses returning to work, recovering from injury, or those requiring maximum nutritional support for joints and muscles.

Does your horse tend to feel a little stiffer during winter? We'd love to hear what helps keep them feeling their best 👇🏼

Mud, rain... and mud fever season is officially here.

When the paddocks get wetter, your horse's legs become more vulnerable to mud fever (pastern dermatitis). Constant exposure to moisture can soften the skin, allowing bacteria and fungi to enter through even the smallest cuts or abrasions.

The key? Act early.

Step 1: Clean without the hassle
Gently cleanse muddy, irritated skin with shampoo, and then apply Fungatrol Spray. It's ideal for cleaning affected areas without excessive scrubbing or soaking—perfect for already sensitive legs.

Step 2: Protect and support healing
Once the area is clean and completely dry, apply Fungatrol Cream. This rich, soothing cream forms a breathable protective barrier while helping support the skin's natural recovery and defence against harsh, muddy conditions.

Step 3: Don't forget the hooves
Wet winter conditions don't just affect the skin. Regular application of Fungatrol Hoof Dressing helps condition and protect the hoof, supporting hoof quality while creating a moisture-resistant barrier during prolonged wet weather.

A simple winter routine can make all the difference:
✔ Clean with Shampoo & Fungatrol Spray
✔ Dry thoroughly
✔ Apply Fungatrol Cream to affected skin
✔ Finish with Fungatrol Hoof Dressing to help protect healthy hooves

Don't wait until a small scab becomes a bigger problem—early intervention is your horse's best defence this winter.
