A good joint regemine, exercise consistently to keep them in shape, and if they are out of shape plan on taking your time not to push them getting back into shape to fast to soon as the older ones muscles,tendons are easy to injure and heal much slower. pasture turnout as much as possible promotes mobility,products to help with arthritis.

Daily exercise mainly trotting to keep them fit. For my older horses I keep them on Animal Element Performance Detox and Product X. Performance Detox is great for coat, joints, topline and hooves. Product X is great for recovery after exercise and excellent for an arthritis.

How much does the detox and x cost?

balanced feed, quality hay, pasture for turn out, and alfalfa if needed for more bloom. I also keep them in shape with frequent but not intense work outs. I limit the barrel work as much as possible...by then they pretty much know their job anyway!
