Maintaining Joint Tips

Keeping joints healthy in your equine friend or equine athlete is paramount to a comfortable, happy and long lasting relationship.

Some helpful tips to keep your horses’ joint healthy are:

Keep your horse at a healthy weight to avoid stress on joints.

For exercising horses, always warm up slowly to allow synovial fluid to move around where it lubricates and serves to protect joints.

Ensure you condition workload for your horse gradually to avoid Inflammation and soft tissue damage.

Be mindful of surfaces. Hard surfaces are hard on joints therefore limit fast work, jumping and sudden turns on hard ground. Heavy going and deep footing are equally as hard on tendons and ligaments which are the framework for strong joints.

Be sure to control inflammation. Use cold water or ice after heavy workouts. This will reduce the inflammatory substances from damaging the joint cartilage.
