Golden Oldies – Support for their Joints

Wear and tear from a lifetime of use can start to cause an older horse to get stiff and progressively less mobile, with winter presenting increasing challenges for them. Supporting our veterans’ joints can improve their quality of life and help to keep them comfortable into old age.

Joint care tips:

1. Talk to your Vet if you notice they are struggling or have developed lameness or painful joints. They may need medication to help.
2. Add in Buteless Super Strength Powder to their diet – this is our go-to for supporting joint and muscle comfort and mobility. Speak to our technical team if you want personalised advice for your horse!
3. Keep your horse moving, regular gentle exercise can keep them mobile. This doesn’t have to be ridden exercise, even those retired companions will benefit from some gentle movement. The level of exercise will be determined by the individual horse and your physio and Vet will be able to advise you.
4. Pick your turnout wisely! Too steep a gradient/ hill and poached fields will increase stress on the joints.
5. Pick your companions carefully! Horses are naturally herd animals, so it is important they have a friend, but you don’t want them to be bullied.
6. Ensure the feet remain balanced by regular ongoing farrier visits, even if they are no longer shod.
