To add poor nutrition can also cause arthritis, prolonged inflammation, cuts/wounds that are deep enough to expose bone or joints.

Keeping the inflammation out of the joint is key, injections I have one with osteoarthritis in pastern and coffin (my vet doesn't use the term ringbone) he was diagnosed when he was 6, with HA injections and trimethsinalone no other steroids he was retired as a competitive horse at 15 pulled out of the pasture at 18 for a girl to high school rodeo, he placed in all but 2 days back in the retirement pen at 23 and now he is noticeably stiff in the morning.

I used legend iv, near the age of 15 this was given monthly, adequan the loading dose and monthly, and near the age of 15 he got glucosamine iv weekly.

As soon as my guy started getting wind puffs he got glucosamine iv and it reduced the inflammation so his legs looked clean and tight

I believe this horse was started extremely early and rode pretty hard .. just knowing who I got him from. Was a really stupid impulse purchase. He was going to be my step daughters roping horse.

Location: Southern Oregon		Bumping this up for the weekday crowd. We should hear back from OSU by Thursday on the up ward bone activity on the pastern. Still baffled even after having a few of my good friends who are vets look the x-rays over.

I had a mare with about the same x Rays. Kept her sound to run for a few years and lived out her days in the pasture just fine until I lost her having a baby. Also had a gelding that had a bunch of calcification and bony changes that caused disruption to the ligaments that ran down to the foot. He was harder to manage but ran him for 2 years like that. He was much better working then sitting out in a pasture.
