Understanding Equine Arthritis and Its Causes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Equine arthritis is a condition in which the joints are swollen and inflamed, leading to mobility limitations and equine joint pain. Arthritis can strike horses of any age and activity level, but seasoned athletes are more susceptible due to the increased wear and tear on their joints. Trauma or injury to a joint can also cause arthritis later on, and poor conformation (misaligned back, bowed legs, etc.) can predispose a horse\u2019s joints to arthritis. Although equine arthritis is nonreversible, there are plenty of effective options for equine arthritis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
