Waffled a lot!
I have two horses at home. Turned out by day on a hardcore turnout area around the yard with haynets as very boggy land. Works very well generally. Both horses have arthiritis and have Synoquine and cartrophen injections, agai. Usually works well for both.
This week I've noticed my 20yr old looking stiff again in her hocks. (We've had a fair few snow days this year but not deep and not such cold temps and she's been fine). Today it's been snowing constantly, it's blowing hard so the snow is swirling and drifting and its minus six. The horses can usually get out of the wind due to how the stables are built, but not today.
From an arthiritis point of view do you think she's better standing still in the stable (which is warmer and out of the wind) or staying out on the yard where she can move around?
