I had posted about my mare "collapsing" when I did her stetching excersises.  Preliminary x-rays show arthritis in the shoulder point.  I am getting additional films/exams done this Friday with more capable equipment as we suspect there is additional arthritis in the spine/wither area.  Vets are suspecting an old injury that is just starting to show its ugly head.  Anyone have any experience with this?  I am prepared to retire her, if injections cant make her comfortable to run but I am not haveing much luck finding any case studies/research on this.  My daughter was just starting to use her for a rope horse so we are evaluating her future as we gather more information. TIA!

I had a mare with shoulder arthritis. She started falling with me during her barrel runs, very scary. Retired her and she went on to raising babies.

Shoulder bursas can be injected. I would make sure that she wasn’t sore in her feet. A lot of times, shoulder soreness is a symptom of foot soreness.

No experience but I've been told osphos helps with arthritis. I also second checking out feet. I've heard navicular is often misdiagnosed as shoulder pain.

Totally agree here! so have them feet xrayed as well if you haven't... and I would cut back as much as you can on Starches and Sugars in feed... all that leads to inflammation as well...
