Coming up Lame

Sadly Ace is a little off in his front right. I have only been working him gently, taking time to bring him around. Keeping a close eye on his tendons because they are adjusting to his new correctly trimmed hooves. A good long soak with a cold hose works wonders on tendons.


Also I'm a little worried about his joint health. After some research I decided to start him on a joint supplement. I want one that had a good amount of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) for joint fluid and articular cartilage. Majesty's Flex HA Wafers seemed a little costly at first but if you do the math it's only $28 a month. Compared to the monthly cost of Platinum Performance $220 and Cosequin $216 the flex wafers are a good buy.


At first Ace disliked the taste but after some crumbling up in his grain he now gobbles them up plain. He has been on the wafers for a while now and I'm noticing a big difference. He is moving more freely and his front right is doing much better.
