And depending on what you inject ( HA and steroid for me) then the steroid will eventually destroy the joint. So find a way to prolong injections. I use pentosan and only inject coffins once a year.

She just has issues in her legs in general, she always has since we got her 6 years ago. We don't think it's genetic because she's built great otherwise and her parents don't have problems, just bad farrier care as a young filly that led to messed up hooves, which messed up her joints/legs. I know certain injections can cause problems long term, but this mare has a retirement party planned for August-ish 2016, so we are just trying to keep her running her best until then. Then she'll have fall/winter 2016 off to relax and be a horse, and then a date with a boyfriend in early 2017.
