Morning.

Right this is more of a thought really, my mare as some of you might remember i had a few problems with ended up having neerve blocks and x rays a few months ago the nerve block pin pointed the lameness in to the foot then the w rays showed no real problem in the foot apart from her pedal bone didn't have enough angle to it, Well after 4 and a bit months of remeadeal shoeing and taking things very slowly with the ridding she really is about 98% there, the vet did tell me it could take up to 6 months to get her totally right.

Any way thats the background info, basically do you find sometimes that your horses seem to be a little stiff sometimes and after being worked for awhile at least 4 times a week seem so much better.

Tilly isn't lame but sometimes puts in a dodgey step, i think shes quite a stiff mare and also quite lazy, i tend to have to really ride her to get her going nicley.

Just any comments would be welcome.......

Have you tried using a decent joint supplement. My horse had an operation a couple of years ago and was stiff each morning when i brought her out of the stable. After putting her on a supplement the stiffness went away!

the only suppliment she is on at the moment is blue chip karma which a suringe as she was very sharp and nervy, which seems to have worked(well made me feel better anyway). Shes not on a hard feed at the moment untill she comes in at night so im not sure i could give her a little feed with something in, what suppliments do you recommend?
