We have got a 27 year old welsh cross. Still ridden 3/4 times a week. On supplements for old age and half a bute a day. Had a amazing summer and has gone into winter looking brilliant. We've noticed that over the last few weeks he has been struggling a little more to get up when rolling. Mainly in the boggy field which he longer goes out in. In the sand paddock it's much easier.
A few people have told me about hock injections and how they might help him. I'm just wondering if anybody has had these done on elderly horses. I'm very realistic that he is a old boy and don't want to put him through treatment that may not even work. At his age he's going to struggle that little bit more.
Any advice.
