HELP MY HORSE SUFFERING FROM ARTHRITIS

IT'S TRENDY 🔐 Reading HELP MY HORSE SUFFERING FROM ARTHRITIS 4 minutes Next FILET, BRIDLE, BRIDE, WHAT'S UP?

It is time to break the preconceived ideas :  NO arthritis in horses is not always or solely due to aging ! It is about the erosion of the articular cartilage which thus loses its role as a shock absorber leading to an inflammatory reaction, very painful for the horse. 


Arthritis, although irreversible, is not a fatality so it is up to us to relieve our protégés by allowing them to maintain regular activity. The false good idea? To completely stop the movement of the horse. Veterinarians strongly encourage to continue working on horseback or on foot, on the flat, in order to best maintain muscle mass while avoiding exposure to overweight in the equine.


To help your mount in facing its arthritis, several treatments will be welcome. You can, to start, opt for a dietary supplement, to slip into its daily ration.


The first one that comes to mind? The Natural'Moov from Natural'Innov! It will provide locomotion comfort and joint support. And to top it all off? It is non-doping and 100% French manufactured 🌱 

 

 

 


A pair ofstable boots? Yes! In order to help with stiffness and provide comfort to your horse. The idea here is really to bring well-being to the latter. Much moreeasier and rapide to put on than just resting bandages, the Kentucky resting boots will quickly become your Must Haves.


 


We often forget that arthritis does not systematically occur in the horse's limbs, but can quite well appear in the back, the withers, etc. The Magnetik Rug from Veredus is a huge technological advance working to reduce pain and swelling, stimulate blood circulation, accelerate the evacuation of toxins as well as the regenerating process, or even prepare the muscles and tendons for effort.

For this, this rug has 32 neodymium magnets that develop a power of 2400 Gauss each distributed over the large dorsal area, the lumbar region, and the shoulders. It is designed to be used alone or under all blankets in winter 🧲 


 


You are starting to know us well : PASSION CLAY this way 🙋‍♀️ And once again, this proves that it really serves for everything, all the time! For arthritis, we will opt for green clay, to be applied as a poultice 🍁


 


Finally, to bring even (and always) a maximum of well-being, do not hesitate to give massages to your animals because, like for us, it is always pleasant. For this, you can use Ekimass : a massage solution for joints and muscles. The right gesture ? Always test if your horse does not have an allergic reaction before the first application by placing the product on a small test area, as always when applying a new product! If all goes well? Then take a small amount of product in our hand, let the horse smell the product, then apply it, in the direction of the hair, on the area to be massaged. With flat hands and not too much pressure, you will quickly see your companion relax and position themselves under your fingers so that you can focus on the area that does them the most good 🤆‍♀️

Hoping as always that this blog post has been useful to you, take great care of your horses
