A horse suffering from arthritis may need to live out in order to stay on the move and may seize up in the stable. Also, if the horse is unable to relax in the field because it has taken on the responsibility of dominance, it may be better suited to living in a bigger herd where it feels protected enough to sleep. Ensure there is adequate shelter in the field, both from wind and rain, and from the sun, and that ground conditions are suited to lying down. If the field is poorly drained, this may need to be addressed, and maybe hard standing and a field shelter installed. Also check for any other potential stress factors, such as neighbouring horses or livestock. Conclusion Once the cause has been removed, the prognosis for these horses is very good. PPD Questions 1.
