When it comes to navicular disease, time matters.

The earlier a diagnosis is made, the more options are available to help manage long-term soundness.

If you notice subtle changes in your horse’s stride, willingness to work, or comfort level, consider scheduling a veterinary exam.

Answer: There isn’t one clear cause of navicular syndrome. It usually develops slowly as everyday stress on the hoof builds up over time, leading to changes in the navicular bone and nearby tissues. Less often, a sudden injury may be to blame. Talk to your veterinarian if you’ve noticed any changes in your horse’s gait or lameness.

👉 Myth: Rest is the best solution for stiff joints.

✅ Fact: Controlled, regular movement is usually more beneficial than complete rest. Talk to your veterinarian for the best management program for your horse.

Answer: Managing navicular syndrome isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s a condition that can have many potential causes and affect different structures in the hoof. In many cases, treating a horse includes using multiple therapies together. The goal of a treatment program is to manage the disease by making the horse more comfortable and returning to some level of activity. If your horse is diagnosed with navicular syndrome, your veterinarian can recommend the best plan.

When the temperature drops, it can be tempting to keep horses in the barn. But for those with osteoarthritis, staying active—whether it’s turnout or light exercise—helps keep joints flexible and muscles strong through the season.

Equine osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of lameness and performance decline in horses, yet effective management requires more than short-term pain relief. Join us for our upcoming webinar, “Chondroprotective Therapies in Equine Osteoarthritis,” with Dr. Patrick Foth. This session will review the pathophysiology and clinical recognition of OA, highlight evidence supporting systemic chondroprotective therapies, and focus on the clinical use available therapies. Participants will gain practical strategies for multimodal treatment plans, optimizing client communication, and building long-term value for both equine health and veterinary practice.

🍁 Fall foliage is beautiful—but for horses, it can also be dangerous. Red maple leaves (and some other maple species) are toxic, even in small amounts, and can be fatal if ingested. The tricky part? Maple trees don’t need to be in your pasture for there to be a risk. Windblown leaves or contaminated hay can still cause exposure.

Horses affected by maple leaf toxicity may show signs such as loss of appetite, lethargy, pale or yellow gums, dark urine, or an increased heart and respiratory rate. Weakness that worsens over time is another red flag.

If you notice any of these clinical signs, call your veterinarian right away. Early intervention is critical.
