Osteoarthritis : manifestations and causes
Osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints affecting mostly older horses. The disease affects all the joints of the horse, but often it is those of the legs that are most affected: knees, hocks, etc. Cartilage in the joints degenerates, causing joint pain in horses. The animal will then have difficulty moving. If you notice that your horse is limping, or you hear a cracking joint while moving, your poor animal is certainly suffering from osteoarthritis. Joint swelling may also appear.
