More than a joint supplement for horses, Steadfast Equine offers complete structural support.
Is your horse suffering from aching joints and stiff, painful movement? Recovering from an injury? In training or competition? And are you overwhelmed by all of your options? You can stop searching now. Steadfast Equine is your answer.
Steadfast Equine is NOT your average horse joint supplement. Most joint supplements ignore bone and soft tissue health. This means your horse is only getting a small part of what they need to feel better or recover from injuries.
Our patented formula contains the exclusive combination of Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM) and TêlaFIRM to support more than just the joint. NEM and TêlaFIRM provide your horse with the most bioavailable source of glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen, hyaluronic acid and chelated minerals. Bioavailable ingredients are easily absorbed instead of being passed through the system. This means your horse can actually use the ingredients for maximum structural health benefits.
The proprietary ingredients in Steadfast Equine and the finished product itself have gone through rigorous testing and research. NEM results are proven more effective and faster acting than using traditional chondroitin and glucosamine. Steadfast Equine has been shown to prevent and support horses with osteoarthritis and lameness by reducing pain, inflammation and cartilage degradation.
Steadfast Equine supports healthy joints in horses, soft tissue and bones for improved motion and reduced pain. There is no other joint supplement for horses with the same scientific backing and ingredients. Don’t waste time and money on personal trial and error. Get your horse on the right track to feeling better with Steadfast Equine.
Arenus is proud to offer Steadfast Equine as an innovative soft tissue and joint supplement for complete structural support.
KEY BENEFITS
- Improved motion and flexibility: Horses with stiff, painful movement need total structural support for relief and comfort. Steadfast Equine works fast to make your horse feel better for a longer stride length and more fluid motion.
- Repair and prevention: Horses on Steadfast Equine recover faster from soft tissue injuries. Increased bone density, tendon strength, ligament strength and healthier soft tissues help prevent injury.
- Active horse support: The lifestyle of a performance horse is stressful on joints, soft tissue and bone. Preserve your horse’s joint health to extend their career and keep them comfortable in training and competition. Also helps joint injections last longer.
- Senior support: Horses of all ages benefit from structural support maintenance. Arthritic and aging horses have additional stress on their joints that require support for optimal health. Steadfast Equine helps senior horses feel younger and more agile.
- Pre-measured pouches: Convenient, daily dose pouches come pre-measured for easy feeding and storage.
- Total structural aid: Complete structural support. No other equine joint supplement available offers the unique formulation and scientific backing of Steadfast Equine.
FEATURES
- Clinically proven formula: Multiple studies have proved the effectiveness of Steadfast in its final form to reduce pain, inflammation and the degradation of cartilage.
- Natural protein NEM: Natural Eggshell Membrane provides a naturally occurring matrix of joint and structural support components that are synthetically manufactured in other supplements. NEM is a natural protein source absorbed easier by horses for maximum structural support benefits. In a human study, NEM provided significant improvement to knee and hip osteoarthritis pain and stiffness within 10 days.
- TêlaFIRM trace minerals: Proprietary, double chelated mineral blend TelaFIRM provides unmatched soft tissue support. Chelated, or organic minerals, are protected from the stomach’s acidic environment for safe passage to the small intestine. This allows horses to better absorb the minerals for maximum benefits. TelaFIRM has been linked to profound clinical benefits such as increased bone breaking strength, decreased tendon, ligament and cartilage pathology and decreased incidence of synovitis. Unchelated minerals in other supplements are overfed to make up for poor absorption rates. TelaFIRM does more with less by giving your horse quality minerals that their body can use.
- Recyclable packaging: Eligible product for “Ride for a Green World” initiative. Save money while helping the environment!

Q: How is Steadfast® Equine different from other joint supplements?
A: Where other joint supplements contain manufactured ingredients, Steadfast Equine is formulated with Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM) and TêlaFIRM. NEM, the thin membrane found on the inside of an eggshell, is a naturally occurring matrix of common joint support ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen and hyaluronic acid. As a natural protein source, the ingredients found in NEM are able to be optimally utilized by your horse. TêlaFIRM provides your horse with the most research backed organic trace mineral blend available. Many equine supplements and feeds contain the common minerals we associate with equine joint health like selenium, manganese, copper and zinc, but most of these minerals are salt bound and inorganic. This makes it difficult for them to survive the acidity of the stomach and reach the small intestine where they should be absorbed. Organic, or chelated, minerals are carbon bound which protects the mineral from the stomach’s acidic environment and ensures safe passage to the small intestine for absorption. TêlaFIRM’s proprietary formulation utilizes only organic minerals for optimal digestion and benefit to your horse. The combination of NEM and TêlaFIRM coupled with extensive research, assures you that your horse is receiving the very best supplement that science has to offer.
Q: Why does it matter that Steadfast® Equine is patented?
A: With the large amount of the equine supplements market, you should research products thoroughly and place value on products that offer finished-product research and credentials. In addition to being a member of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), Arenus has taken its credentialing process one step further and gained U.S. patented or patent-pending status on all of its Arenus Supplements. Steadfast Equine, along with the rest of the Steadfast family, is fully patented, guaranteeing the unique formulas have been shown to work as intended.
Q: Will I need to keep my horse on Steadfast® Equine forever?
A: While Steadfast Equine can certainly be used to address acute pain and inflammation associated with injury or osteoarthritis, the formulation is designed as a maintenance program to support your horse through daily wear and tear. You can also feed two packets during times of high performance, competition, stress or training for additional support. Generally, our customers are so pleased with the quick improvement in their horse that they opt to incorporate Steadfast Equine into their horse’s daily regimen.
Q: In what situation would you use Steadfast® Equine and Steadfast® Equine Growth together?
A: There are many situations where the use of both Steadfast Equine and Steadfast Equine Growth are well indicated. For instance, when a horse recovering from an injury. These injuries range from suspensory tears and tendon strain to surgeries like carpal chip removal and beyond. Combining these supplements provides your horse with a hefty dose of the minerals they need to rebuild soft tissues. It strengthens the existing structural integrity and reduces the pain and inflammation associated with recovery. The use of this powerful combination has assisted with the reduced recovery time and improved healing of many equine athletes.
Q: Why would you use Steadfast Equine and Eq-Well together?
A: Adding Steadfast Equine and Eq-Well to your horse’s provides effective, overall support for all horses. This combination works particularly well for performance horses, horses under stress and horses in training. The two supplements together supply excellent joint and soft tissue support with an unmatched vitamin and mineral balancer. Feeding them together ensures that your horse is receiving complete, nutritional and structural support for optimal, overall health.
Q: Is Steadfast® Equine palatable?
A: Yes. If your horse eats other supplements without issue, working Steadfast Equine into their regimen typically isn’t a problem. If you do experience issues, try simple things like starting with a smaller dose or adding water, diluted corn syrup (50 - 75% water), vegetable oil or molasses.
