I have a 27 year old Egyptian Arab who has a few
endurance miles and was my first mount for this sport. Imperial Nafal is
feeling his age--very stiff in the hind end and occasionally has some difficulty
rising from lying down after a roll. Hind end issues appear to be
arthritic in nature.
I would like to help the poor fellow
out.
Can anyone tell me how well MSM works, or is there
another supplement that helps ease older horses along? Would appreciate
experience with various brands of stuff (via e-mail.) Nafal still has a
willing head and heart; I would like to be able to help him feel better and even
go for some easy walks along the trails with him in his retirement from a career
as my Limited Distance mount. As recently as 5 years ago he was somewhat
competitive in races... then I got busy with "real life" (grad school,
marriage/kids, career) and haven't had a chance to come up for air
yet!
