🐴 Osteoarthritis isn't just an issue for older horses... and it doesn't always show up as obvious lameness. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting horses. In fact, the vast majority of horses will develop arthritic changes at some point in their lives, often long before the signs become obvious. When people think about osteoarthritis, they usually picture a lame horse. But the early signs are often much more subtle: ▫️ stiffness at the start of exercise ▫️ shortened strides ▫️ difficulty with certain movements or exercises ▫️ changes in behaviour These signs can develop gradually and are often mistaken for ageing, loss of fitness, or simply an "off day". Another common misconception is that osteoarthritis only affects the limbs. While limb joints are frequently involved, osteoarthritis can also occur in other areas such as the neck, back, or sacroiliac region, potentially impacting both comfort and performance. ✨ The earlier these signs are recognised, the sooner appropriate management strategies can be put in place to help maintain your horse's comfort, mobility, and quality of life. Have you noticed any of these signs in your horse?
