This includes horses that participate in the following\nactivities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table><tbody><tr><td><ul><li>Jumping<\/li><li>Racing<\/li><li>Pulling<\/li><li>Trail riding<\/li><li>Farm work<\/li><li>Long distance riding <\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><ul><li>Reining<\/li><li>Barrel Racing<\/li><li>Driving<\/li><li>Eventing<\/li><li>Dressage<\/li><li>Many other occupations<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These athletic activities put extra strain on equine joints and muscles. The horse\u2019s joints will begin to wear as it continues to work and perform, often leading to discomfort, loss of mobility, and bone-on-bone movement. Unfortunately, the deterioration of the horse&#8217;s joints often lead to a shorter career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Younger horses are physically strong but are immature and\nlack experience. Older horses are mature and well trained, but their bodies are\nno longer in peak condition. Although different for each discipline or\nworkload, there is a short window of time where the horse is in peak physical\nand mental condition. For example, most Dressage horses perform between the\nages of 8-10, where racing horses tend to start competing and retiring much\nearlier. This can be frustrating for many horse owners who are continually\ntraining new horses. &nbsp;After investing so\nmuch time, money, and love into our working horses, it\u2019s understandable that we\nwant to see them stay at the top of their game for as long as possible. So, how\ndo we extend the working life of our horses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prevention =\nPreservation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is much easier to prevent a joint injury than to fix one. Therefore, prevention is key when discussing how to extend the career of a working horse. By taking the necessary steps to protect equine joints, you are protecting the investment you have made into that horse. Below are a few tips on how to extend the career of your working horse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supporting Equine Joints with a Balanced Diet <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A balanced diet is one of the most important factors in extending the career of your horse. Improper nutrition can lead to a range of hoof, joint, skin, and health related issues. <ul><li>For example: Excess protein in a horse\u2019s diet can cause inflammation in the joints.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Providing proper nutrition supports the energy and strength needed to meet extra physical demands. This can make the horse more resilient to injury, recover faster after work, and provide essential nutrients for proper health. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and Birth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Many aspects of your horse\u2019s health can be influenced during pregnancy. This is particularly true in the case of joint and bone health. Fetal development is dependent of the nutrition and health of the mare.&nbsp; Ensuring that the mare is healthy and receiving proper nutrition can help the development of a newborn foal. <\/li><li>The health and development of a young foal is a foundation for a healthy adult horse. Improper nutrition and care can negatively affect this development and lead to future problems.<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifedatalabs.com\/products\/equine-forage-balancer\/barn-bag-broodmare-and-growing-horse\">Learn about feeding Barn Bag\u00ae Broodmare and Growing Horse. <\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hoof Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A horse cannot perform at its full potential with unhealthy hooves. Horses inflicted with a hoof related issue can experience pain, discomfort, or become lame. Even a small hoof crack can lead to serious issues if left unchecked. Attempting to perform with unhealthy hooves can also lead to injury.<\/li><li>If your horse is inflicted with a hoof related issue that is causing pain, it may begin to distribute its weight to the other hooves for relief. This weight imbalance can weaken the other hooves and apply more pressure to the joints. <\/li><li>Unbalanced hooves can also create future hoof and joint problems for your horse. <a href=\"https:\/\/lifedatalabs.com\/blog\/2018\/02\/01\/how-important-are-well-balanced-hooves\/\">Balanced hooves <\/a>evenly distribute the weight of your horse across all four hooves. If the hooves become unbalanced, this distribution becomes uneven, and adds extra weight to certain joints. If this uneven distribution continues, joint and hoof problems may follow.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lifedatalabs.com\/blog\/2018\/03\/30\/the-importance-of-maintaining-a-regular-farrier-schedule\/\">A regular farrier schedule<\/a> along with daily hoof care, a balanced diet, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifedatalabs.com\/products\/all-life-data-products\">hoof supplementation<\/a> can all help maintain healthy hooves. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supplementation and Remedies for Equine Joints<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lifedatalabs.com\/blog\/2018\/02\/22\/does-my-horse-need-a-joint-supplement\/\">Supplementation for equine joints<\/a> can be used to help ensure your horse is receiving the nutrients needed to maintain healthy joints, hooves, or maintain body condition. Providing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifedatalabs.com\/farriers-formula-double-strength-plus-joint\">joint supplement or formula<\/a> is especially important for the working horse. Feeding a quality joint formula regularly and early in the horse\u2019s career can help protect the joint from injury and extend the life of your horse\u2019s joints.<\/li><li>When supplementing with a joint formula, it is also important to be mindful of over supplementation. Especially if you are feeding a separate hoof supplement. We recommend using a combination hoof and joint formula that not only helps lubricate and reduce inflammation in the joints, but also strengthens the ligaments that support the joints.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proper Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It is important to know the limitations of your horse while training. Don\u2019t push your horse too hard too fast, and always warm up before going to work. Start out slow and work your way up. Pushing your horse past their limitations can damage the joints and lead to injury. An injury early in your horse\u2019s career can lead to future problems, and an injury late in your horse\u2019s career can end it. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your horse is injured or begins experiencing joint pain,\nit is important to consult with your veterinarian.
