Mums horse has just been diagnosed with high ringbone. The vet said it is best to keep him exercise her horse. But did not state what exercise to do with him. I think I read somewhere that starting and stopping a horse is bad for them is this true?

Thank you
 
Think that refers to starting and stopping exercise ie only riding an hour once a week. It's better to ride 15min every day if they've got joint problems. I know jumping isn't a good idea with ringbone. Hacking is generally considered easier on a horses joints than schooling .
