As horses age, the wear and tear of training and daily work can lead to aches and pains of arthritis. How do you keep your arthritic horses comfortable and active? We posed this question to our readers in last week’s online poll. More than 500 people responded, and we’ve tallied the results!

Of the 515 respondents, 232 (45%) said they use joint supplements to help keep their arthritic horses comfortable, while 127 individuals (25%) use non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS).
