JOINT SUPPLEMENTS AND CARE FOR STIFF OR OLDER HORSES

Much like us horses become stiff and arthritic as they age from either a joint trauma or due to wear and tear over time.

It is important for their quality of life to provide comfort in order to keep them active and happy.

HOW TO MANAGE STIFF OR OLDER JOINTS

Keep your horse or pony at optimum weight. Excess weight only loads up joints and makes any exercise labouring.

Be mindful of terrain – hills may be hard for your horse or pony to walk up and down with painful joints.

Use a good quality joint supplement such as Hydra-flex CARE that is packed full of scientifically backed ingredients at fortified levels to nourish and care for joints.

Use additional support if needed for discomfort such as natural herbals like willow or devils claw.

If joints are acute with noticeable swelling and lameness investigate joint injections with your vet to keep your horse or pony comfortable and remain mobile.

Keep them comfortable and moving- joints stiffen with inactivity and will lead to a lack of muscle tone and strength.

A step by step strategy to reduce sugar in the diet

1/4

Feed fresh pasture in the morning by strip grazing. However, always ensure hay is readily available so the horse or pony can naturally buffer their gut.
2/4

Manage grass daily by strip grazing and hay.
3/4

Re-assess hard feed regime and opt for high fibre forages. Reduce or omit the hard feed.
4/4

Re-introduce hard feed when the horse settles
TIP
Sugars increase throughout the day. Therefore putting out tape in the morning will have the lowest sugar, and at the end of the day the highest sugar.
