hiya
iv been riding and looking after a horse that i maybe buying. Shes always been stiff but recently has become very stiff in her front legs espcially in her right shoulder. (In the canter she becomes very stiff in her back and neck aswell) Her walks really nice rounds herself once warmed up! Her trot feels like riding a wooden lame horse She finds it really difficult to canter round the school as keeping her in canter round a corner is difficult Although she can loosen up a little in trot, and stretch and round in walk Just wanting some advice if theres any excercies or supplements to help as shes a lovely horse or just best to stay away??? |

cod liver oil,cortiflex and other glucostimine/chlorintin supplements will help if this is the case,but i would still have her vetted.

Re: *Stiff*horse*
yep Zay was the same. sometimes if weather had been crap and she hadnt gone out in the paddock for a few days she would hardly be able to walk. a morning running round the paddock would sort her out though! you are right to suggest that the horse is checked out though. was going to have a woman out to check zay's back as she used to get a bit of a sore back after riding but she had to go back to her owner before i had the chance

Re: *Stiff*horse*
What one person may describe as 'stiff' another or a vet may describe as 'lame'. Don't buy unless you get a vet check or you could get a load of trouble. Supplements should not be necessary on a horse unless there is an underlying condition. If there is find out what the condition is first and make sure the horse will be able to do what you want.

Re: *Stiff*horse*
Definately get her checked out by a vet. Supplements that we have used and worked for us: Cortiflex, Run Free. (Yet I don't think Run Free is on sale anymore - it's manufactures went bust - I think)
