Greetings everyone! Long time no see! I've had a quick look so I know there are other posts about arthritis, but I'm amore after specific exercises that are beneficial. Coblet has been diagnosed with hock and stifle arthritis at the age of 12 and following vet advice is now on a bute a day plus...

Seeing as my cobs usual coat blunts blades in an instant I would hack off as much feather as possible with scissors and then go for it!

Thank you for your support. I do think maybe my original post wasn't the best worded. Yes I am a later learner - only started riding at 17 and I'm not that now! As for hounds coming off trail I appreciate that can happen and hounds will do what they do. I'm not completely put off as it does seem...
