Horse Joint Health Tips – Support Mobility & Performance

As horses age or take on more demanding work, their joints endure wear and tear that can lead to stiffness, discomfort, and reduced mobility. Whether you're riding for pleasure or performance, supporting joint health is essential for your horse's long-term soundness and comfort.

1. Maintain a Consistent Exercise Routine

Regular movement keeps joints flexible and muscles strong. Avoid long periods of stall rest without turnout or hand-walking, especially for aging horses.

• ✅ Daily turnout or hand-walking improves circulation.
• ✅ Light groundwork and hill work build supportive muscle.

2. Incorporate Liniment into Daily Care

Liniment can provide immediate relief from inflammation and help maintain healthy circulation in joints. Draw It Out® Liniment is a no-burn, gentle formula that can be used before or after rides.

• ✔ Use pre-ride to loosen up stiff joints.
• ✔ Apply post-ride to aid recovery and reduce inflammation.

3. Prioritize Proper Warm-Up & Cool-Down

Prevent injury and stiffness by gradually preparing your horse’s joints for work and cooling them down properly afterward.

• ✅ 10–15 minutes of walking before trotting or cantering.
• ✅ Post-ride liniment or cold therapy to reduce swelling.

4. Feed for Joint Support

Supplements with glucosamine, MSM, hyaluronic acid, and omega-3s can help reduce inflammation and support cartilage health over time.

• ✔ Add joint support to your daily feed regimen.
• ✔ Ensure consistent dosing for long-term benefit.

5. Monitor for Early Signs of Discomfort

Watch for changes in movement, reluctance to perform, heat/swelling in joints, or unevenness in stride. Early detection = better outcomes.

• ✔ Perform regular leg checks.
• ✔ Consult your vet about any changes in comfort or performance.
