Just like us, horses experience wear and tear on their joints over time. Arthritis is one of the most common senior horse issues, leading to stiffness, reduced mobility, and pain.

Signs of Arthritis:
❌ Stiffness when first moving, especially in cold weather
❌ Resistance in ridden work
❌ Difficulty getting up after lying down
❌ Enlarged joints

How to Keep Senior Joints Healthy:
✅ Daily movement – Gentle exercise keeps joints supple
✅ Weight management – Excess weight adds stress to joints
✅ Veterinary support – Your veterinarian can develop a tailored plan to improve your horse’s joint health

Horizon Equine’s Geriatric Health Plan includes physical exams to assess joint health and tailored treatment recommendations to keep your senior moving comfortably.

Dental problems in senior horses can lead to weight loss, discomfort, and even colic. As horses age, their teeth wear down, develop sharp points, or loosen, making it harder to chew properly.

Signs Your Senior Horse May Have Dental Issues:
❌ Dropping grain or hay while eating
❌ Bad breath or excessive drooling
❌ Quidding (chewing but spitting out food)
❌ Weight loss despite normal feeding

💡 How to Help:
✅ Schedule regular dental exams – Senior horses need twice-yearly checks.
✅ Offer soaked feed if chewing is difficult
✅ Monitor for signs of pain or discomfort

The Geriatric Health Plan includes 2 dental exams & floating (if needed) to keep your horse’s mouth healthy & pain-free.

The Three Pillars of Show Season Comfort
Keeping your horse comfortable and competitive through show season starts with a proactive plan.

We recommend focusing on these three key pillars:

Baseline Evaluation
Begin the season with a soundness exam to assess movement and identify any areas of concern.

Treatment if Required
Address any issues early to support mobility, reduce discomfort, and avoid setbacks during competition.

Ongoing Preventative Care
Support your horse’s performance with thoughtful training routines, an effective joint supplement, or a comfort support modality like massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, or osteopathy work.

A thoughtful, well-rounded approach helps your horse stay comfortable, focused, and ready to perform all season long.

Shockwave Therapy: Healing, Recovery, and Pain Relief
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate tissues.

Most commonly, shockwave is used for tissue healing after tendon or ligament injury. Other conditions that benefit from shockwave therapy include:
Heel pain (i.e. navicular region)
Neck and back soreness
Chronic soft tissue pain (i.e. suspensory ligament or tendons)

Shockwave works by increasing circulation, promoting tissue repair, and helping to reduce pain. Ask our veterinary team if shockwave is appropriate for your horse’s care plan this season.
