Ironically riding the horses keep them younger even if it’s just at a walk as they age. It’s shown that movement under saddle helps move the synovial in the joints in order to lubracate them. I’m glad you are considering injections for penny, you won’t believe the difference they can make for comfort and quality of life. Just like us if we sit around a lot and then try to move you will feel stiffer and more out of shape. But if you walk a lot and move around your parts don’t feel as sore. Hopefully that makes sense. Joint injections are really common for performance horses /older horses. It’s a good idea to get your horses flexed by a sports medicine vet and X-rays done to see where the arthritis is and where an injection can be helpful. We have supplements here specifically for arthritis with a 90 day X-ray guarantee. This means that you take an X-ray of an affected joint and give the supplement and in 90 days if you see no positive change you get your money back! While very expensive these are totally legal and not harsh on the gut like NSAIDs and we have had very positive results with our older horses on them improving joint health and bone growth! I know you guys have one of the brands at least in Canada because that’s where we were told of it. Hope this helps in some way.
I have had multiple older horses. They have all had arthritis. My vet says the best thing for arthritis is to keep them moving. i have a 27 year old that is still sound for flat riding. She had her hocks injected as a 20 year old, and did polyglycan shots while she was in hard work.
I have always been a gelding fan but there was one mare who stole my heart. If she went up for sale I would have bought her in an instant sadly she got cancer.
Morning all from the UK , I make stuffed mushrooms for lunch or b reakferst time. I'd rarther have a gelding than a Marie horse . My friend had a horse that was 20yrs old ,we would ride it 2or3 times a week in the wintertime. And in summertime we would've ridden every other day hopefully this will help you OUT. Thank you for sharing your day . Take care and all the best .😄😄😊😊👍👍👍👍💟💖🐶🐐🐐🐔

horses are fine in the rain I wouldn't worry about it
I prefer geldings over mares. Storm is my favorite of all your horses Laura
Sophie says that her favorite goat is Winston, and I definitely agree 100%

I agree with Sam, gelding. Sam, order spikes that fit on shoes ,I cant remember the name.
Maybe get those chains you can strap onto your boots/shoes, so you don't slip!
