Spring is the perfect time to check in on your senior horse’s health. As horses age, they’re more likely to develop chronic conditions like osteoarthritis (OA) and pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), which can sneak up slowly.

A spring wellness visit with your equine veterinarian can help:

• Evaluate joint health and mobility
• Identify dental abnormalities
• Review body condition and muscle tone
• Discuss any changes in hair coat, behavior, or performance
• Make any adjustments to nutrition, exercise, and management for the warmer months

If you’ve noticed your senior horse feeling a little stiff, slowing down, or just “not quite themselves,” schedule a checkup and talk with your veterinarian about screening for OA or PPID.

Spring is just around the corner!🌱

Sharing observations, asking questions, and staying proactive helps your vet tailor care plans that support your horse’s comfort, health, and long-term well-being. When you work together, you’re giving your horse the advantage of informed, veterinarian-guided care every step of the way.
