My 17 year old thoroughbred is riddled with arthritis. After vet’s advice either pts or turn out 24/7. We decided to turn him out. Our podiatrist recommended that I use this after using all sorts of other treatments (non medicated) we used this. We have been using it for 3 months now and I’ve noticed a huge change in him. He’s able to move more freely he will never be 100% sound. But keeping him comfortable is all that matters to me

Keeps my 26 year old cob sound enough to enjoy hacking still, which is great as he really doesn’t want to retire completely and loves to go out still.
