Joints, Tendons & Ligaments
Arthritis STaR
- Duration
- 45 min
- Session protocol
- TWO treatments to cover the horse: front fetlock pair with the poll-sacrum axis, then hind fetlock pair with the same axis. The PRO covers all four limbs at once; the Baby does not.
When to reach for it
stiff and arthritic joints, joint wear, the older horse, slow to warm up, cold or hard ground
About this program
Joint wear rarely stays in one joint. Stiffness makes the horse move differently, other limbs take more load, and the whole body starts compensating — which is why the stiff older horse so often feels stiff everywhere.
Consider this program when:
- the first steps out of the stable are the worst of the day
- warming up takes longer than it used to
- cold or hard ground makes everything stiffer
- the horse is visibly compensating and loading other limbs
Comfort and function together let movement become natural again — through the whole horse, not just one joint.
