The horse or pony will need meds for the rest of it's life yes.
Is it life threatening it can be.
You will need to modify the horses diet and how you feed and give meds one or twice per day.
Following the schedule your vets sets up is very important.
I know many people who successfully treat Chusings for years.

Sadly cushions is life threatening. If you are willing to pay for the medication though, your pony will live a happy rest of his life. I also recommend talking to your vet about what medications or choices you can make!
Good Luck!

My dog had it. They gave him 2 years when he was diagnosed, but we gave him the medication and he lasted 10. He was a happy boy for those 10 years and I would do it all over again.
Good luck to you. I hope you give your pony a chance.
