Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a common condition in horses, especially in older horses and sport horses with long-term stress. It involves wear of the cartilage in the joints, which can lead to stiffness, pain and reduced range of motion.

What happens in osteoarthritis?

In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the joint becomes damaged and thinner. As a result, shock absorption decreases and friction occurs between the bone parts. This can lead to:

• Stiff start-up, especially after rest
• Moving less smoothly
• Pain on strain
• Reduced performance or enjoyment of movement

Osteoarthritis cannot be cured, but targeted support can improve the horse's comfort and mobility.
