    When did you know it was time to treat your horses arthritis? What approach did your vet recommend of what have you tried in terms of treatment? I have a 17/yo Arabian cross mare. Much of her history is unknown as she was a surrender last winter. I used the same vet as the people I got her from...

    I recently found out that my horse has mild arthritis in his front knee. Nothing major, the vet said he'd be fine as long as he wasn't doing super difficult work and had good warm-ups. He gave us medicine to give him before long rides for pain and inflammation. I've read articles and some say...
  3. Gaited Horses
    Hello:) I have a Tennessee walking horse that I have had for almost 2 years now. He does gait but never really stays in it for longer then 10 second. He definitely prefers trotting and I don’t mind. But is this normal? Could it be pain related? He is a senior horse. And I have had chiropractic...

    I rescued a very sweet draft X gelding last Fall. He was never ridden much and has arthritis in a back leg. He just turned 16. He also developed fecal water syndrome and I suspect it’s due to poor hay quality, but in the next year or so when we have our own place to move him to that will change...

    Hello, I have a twh and the vet said he was fine last fall, he might have the slightest bit of arthritis in this front knee. Since then I’ve been giving him sta-sound flaxseed hyaluronic acid and vegetable oil. He seems perfectly fine playing out in the pasture and lifting up his legs and things...

    My 11 year old paint horse was diagnosed with osteo-arthritis in his proximal intertarsal joint of his left hock. Vet said that arthritis in that high movement joint was rare and that he probably did something to make it that bad since it is almost fused 😞. He also has moderate arthritis in the...

    Looking for some encouragement and positive advice. Been out of the horse game for some time after rehoming my OTTB a few years ago. I took him on as he was malnourished and really needed the help. He was my first horse and an impulse decision, at that point I just turned 18 and could finally...
  8. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Hey yall, This is about my first horse, who I've had for around 4 months now. Almost 2 months ago, I moved my boy to pasture board, and he has been living in a large open space with around 10-15 other horses. This is his first time living in pasture, ever. Since the beginning, he has gotten...

    Hi! I am looking into supplements for my 17 year old QH that is showing some stiffness due to mild arthritis this year. I know Cosequin is good, but I also ran across Equinety, and it says that it is also good for horses who get abscesses alot, which mine sometimes does, but it also says that it...

    My Farrier was out today and is noticing early signs of arthritis in my 10 year old mares back right foot. I will be having the vet out next month for vaccines so I will speak with him about it then but I was wondering if there were any joint supplements that I could get without a vet script...

    My horse has been dealing with arthritis for a while and it is really up and down. He can be fine for a few months and then be lame for a few weeks. Would supplements or hyaluronic acid injections be a better route? Or maybe stretches?

    My vet recently told me that my horse is prone to arthritis and soreness in hocks. It recently has flared up and I am looking into alternatives to hock injections. What would you recommend? I'm thinking either cold wraps or the Back on Track hock boots. I know they work in different ways, but...

    Before I reorder the expensive GM Premium Plus, I want to see if anyone has had experience with either of the above named products. I'm leaning toward Equipride, but I want to make sure it will be helpful for my 19-year old Missouri Fox Trotter mare with bilateral ringbone and bilateral severe...

    Right well I just accidentally deleted a War and Peace sized post so let's see if I can get this better the second time round after I finish playing this song on the world's tiniest violin :music019: My ten year old mare Foxy has had some disorder in the joint of her front right knee (facing...

    I have a 13 going on 14 yr old OTTB, left track sound and went into career as hunter/jumper and low level dressage training was in progress. Purchased as a 9 yr old, to become a pleasure horse that I could learn on and take clinics, didn't head in any particular direction with him - just wanted...

    I have had my mare since August 1 of last year. After about 6 weeks during a very hot part of the summer, I noticed that she was starting to lose hair on both sides under the girth after I removed it. The area was almost on her belly, about a quarter sized area on each side. Not bleeding or raw...

    I have a very very arthritic horse. No broken bones and from what my vets have told me his sole issue is arthritis. 20 years old. Very Lame when not on the pill. I am currently giving him half a pill of a 227 mg Previcox pill daily. Along with equine senior Straight msn and glucosamine and...

    One of my horses, Treasure, is 24 years old and he has arthritis. I have been re-training him from his trail horse follow-the-leader mind set and it's been slightly difficult. he gets confused and nervous easily so to keep him focused I have to push him to do a nice even trot. After his training...

    I have a 5 year old Curly mare that was seriously injured as a weanling - thus the partially fused right front knee. She has about 50% movement in the knee joint and shows no lameness upon flexion or trotting out. The veterinarian cleared her for driving and light riding. Since she's showing...
