pastern joint support, short-striding on hard ground
About this program
Between fetlock and foot sit the pastern joints — small, tight-packed and loaded on every stride. High-ringbone country: hard ground and years of work show up here as a short, careful step.
Consider this program when:
- hard-ground seasons shorten the stride
- the vet has located wear to the pastern region
- an older horse's lower limbs are stiffening
- routine lower-limb care in hard-working horses
One pastern per treatment. New bony swelling around the pastern is an imaging question — ringbone managed early is ringbone managed best.
