My arthritic mare is supposed to be on daily turmeric with olive oil and pepper to help her joints. I noticed a good improvement and she seemed to loosen up. However, since the colder weather has come, the olive oil has been freezing overnight and has to be unfrozen in order to give it. I do this with no qualms but I have noticed that since my yard manager has been looking after my horse for 3/7 days a week over the last couple of weeks, she had been noticeably more stiff. It transpired today that my YM has not been giving my mare her turmeric because of the effort required to defrost it. Would this reduction in turmeric cause the stiffness? And should I say something to my YM?
