Hello all. I Just found out my 7yr old warmblood has spondylosis. Has anyone got any advice please how to deal with it? What is the prognosis?

What have the vets advised as the plan of action? Did they not advise what the prognosis was?

I purchased this horse 5mths ago from Germany through someone i thought was reliable and just came to find out that this horse has this condition. I did a full 11page vet check but nothing came up at the time. I eventually spoke to the previous owner this who divulged this information. I will be speaking to my vet next week but just wondering if anyone has got any experience of spondylosis.

Is your horse showing any symptom?
I had a horse who had ventral spondylosis. She was clearly uncomfortable / in pain and specialist vets advised the condition was untreatable. So she was sadly PTS. Im sorry, this probably isn’t what you want to hear.
You only mention spondylosis, I understand it was the ventral aspect that made my mare untreatable (underside of spine fusing, can’t access to operate because you’d have to get past all the horses internal organs to get to it)

I eventually spoke to the previous owner this who divulged this information.

If she sold without disclosure then I hope karma catches up with her, or whoever did sell without disclosure.

So sorry you are in this position so soon after the excitement of importing a new horse.
