I've noticed recently, that the horse i'm working with seems to always be stiff when i ride, or just when he's walking around. His owner takes him out 2-3 times a year and runs him around for hours at a time, and his owner is definatly not on the light side...I often am stuck caring for sore backs once his owner is done.
But, i was wondering, that my horse has really short strides, and long legs. I'm not sure if he's got arthritis, or just joint problems. But i was wondering if maybe i should put him on joint supplements for a month, see how that goes, and if it helps, should i continue it? I tried stretching him out before and after riding for a while, and it didn't seem to help. Anyone have any suggestions?
