I have an older mare that is getting fairly arthritic. I keep her on pasture to keep her moving as much as possible but she is clearly getting stiffer each year. She is kept in foal and is 21 or 22 this year. I would like to know if legend or adequan shots would help her and how many times I need to give them to her throughout the year. www.canyonrimranch.net |

Hello Christine,
If arthritis is the problem yes that and other treatments can help. For specifics see the treatment section of, Diseases of Horses » Lameness » Joint, Bone, Ligament Diseases » Arthritis and DJD: An Overview.

Hi Christine, Brave was stiff all over at the end of last summer. Had a farrier come out who mentors my farrier and he fixed the stiffness almost immediately. Just a thought, maybe it's her feet? |
