Location: Florida		My gelding has been off for 2 1/2 months now.. He was showing signs if having sore hocks and stifles so we took him to get checked and the vet said he had EPM, we treated for the EPM for 30 days and went back for a recheck said he didn't respond to the medicine so we sent blood into origin and he tested negative... We took him for a second opinion yesterday and he was sore in his hock, so we ended up injecting them. They said to give him three days off and put him back to work slowly, then bring him back in 21 days.

So what do you do to get your older horses back in shape?

 When you ride, do straight lines. Do a few circle type movements as possible.

there are some really good books on rehabbing from injuries for horses. Try Amazon or those Horse book sites

Swimming. Its way easier on their joints and it builds up their lungs.

How long would you swim them for?
