 Since this horse is 18 years old I won’t be doing any stem cells, IRAP, PRP, etc.  I was wondering if anyone had success with laser therapy, Equi-Bone or Equinity?  Any other suggestions?  I know his barrel career is over and I am heartbroken.  He is only slightly lame at this point, and I would like to get him okay for some light trail riding.
 
Any suggestions are appreciated!

I would do cold laser or shockwave treatment and definitely Equi-Bone. You can message me with any questions!

Well, I have only been a member of BHW for 14 years and I still have not figured out how to attach a picture.....  (yes, I know - pathetic), but I would be happy to email you the official CT report which has pictures.

I called the Equibone people and they also said that it could help.

Awesome! Your first bag will go quick because of the loading dose so I give 5% off the second bag purchased and it's always free shipping.

I don't know where you located but I went to dr. Mitchell in Bristow ok (the son) and we blistered with his stuff and it got rid of mine. To be honest I didn't think it would work but it did!

By the way the vet in tx is the one that found it and I live in ok when what he said to do didn't work I went to dr. Mitchell. and I had xrays from both vets and it showed on there and we x-rayed a couple times after that to make sure without a doubt that it worked and I went back to running for quite a while til another issue unrelated came up.
