My good horse has SLIGHT arthritis in his RF coffin joint. But its enough to make him sore (2 out of 5 on lameness scale). Corrective shoeing and had it injected. This in combination with Legend ( Which lasts less than a week usually) or Polyglycan ( Lasts about 10 days) allow him to go pretty much sound. He gets previcox on the days he runs. Vet said to just give previcox every day from here on out but I would like to avoid that if possible. For those of you who use magnetic bell boots, is this something that might work? I also started him on BUTELESS pellets but after a week they haven't kicked in quite yet. Thanks!

I had a gelding with some coffin joint issues quite a few years back, he lived in his magnetic bell boots, only took them off put the ones on I rode him in, they helped quite a bit.
