I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	So my gelding is 13 and we have never had this problem since I bought him as a 6 yr old. Vet said his ligaments are stretched out and has me giving him bute for 7 days, going up and down the ditches(flat land country) and walking up and down a slight hill we have by the house. In 7 days I call him back to see if he will need an injection. Is there anything else you recommend? I have never dealt with this. He doesn’t do well with magnets, but I was wondering if something like Draw It Out or the Stressline products could help him. Just wanted to add he has just been a pasture horse for the last couple years, so he isn’t in shape. Edited by GLP 2018-11-05 5:53 PM

Nope, it’s the first time this has happened and the vet wants to wait to see if bute and exercises will work instead.

Did I miss the party? Posts: 3864	blistering, estrone, splitting...... depends on the severity and what your vet thinks is the best route.

Balance Beam and more... Posts: 11493 Location: 31 lengths farms	How bout hand walking over cavelettis since you are on flat ground too? I have no experience with it but would Tight Joints Plus be a good fit for this particular issue?
