If your horse seems a little stiffer on chilly mornings, you’re not imagining it. Cold weather can make joint tissues less elastic and highlight inflammation, making osteoarthritis more noticeable this time of year. Gentle, regular movement often helps ease the transition into colder days.

As we work through the fall season and prep for winter, ensure preventative care is on your autumn checklist. This is a great time of year to schedule any needed vaccinations—particularly if any travel is on the horizon—as well as check the condition of teeth, test f***l egg counts, and assess any nutritional needs or pain management, particularly in senior horses.

While equine osteoarthritis (OA) is commonly associated with limb joints, it can also affect less obvious areas of your horse’s body, sometimes with subtle or surprising signs.

• Spine (back and neck): OA in the cervical spine can lead to stiffness, back pain, and trouble with collection or bending.
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ): OA in the jaw can cause chewing discomfort and even behavioral changes under saddle.
• Hips and pelvis: Conditions like coxitis or sacroiliac OA may lead to lameness, uneven muscling, or reluctance to work.

If your horse is showing signs like back pain, resistance to bridling or chewing, or hind-end weakness, OA could be part of the puzzle.
Don’t just guess, talk to your veterinarian about your concerns. Early recognition and a tailored management plan can make—and keep—your horse comfortable and happy.

Did you know that weather can play a role in your horse’s joint comfort?

In horses with osteoarthritis (OA), cold, damp conditions may increase joint stiffness, while heat and humidity can impact inflammation.

Consistent exercise, turnout, and proper management can make a big difference in your horse’s comfort. Work with your veterinarian to find the right plan for your horse.
