Do you know the signs of navicular disease? While there are many things that can contribute to or cause front-end lameness, navicular disease is one of the most common.

Signs include:
• Intermittent lameness: look for lameness that “comes and goes” and is often worse after exercise
• Toe-pointing: affected horses may point their toes to relieve heel pain associated with navicular disease
• Short, choppy stride: the horse’s gate may become shorter and tentative
• Reluctance to turn-they may resist turning or working in small, tight circles
• Hoof sensitivity: when hoof testers are applied, they may exhibit increased sensitivity in the heel area

Early detection is important for effectively managing navicular disease. If your horse shows any of these signs, consult your veterinarian for a lameness evaluation.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and IRAP (Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein) are both regenerative therapies that use components from the horse’s own body to support healing, but they’re not the same.

Each therapy works in a unique way to target different types of injuries or conditions. Curious about the differences? Check out the graphics to learn more.

Equine osteoarthritis (OA) can appear as subtle signs even before a horse becomes lame. Early signs of joint pain and inflammation can include:

• Stiffness that may or may not diminish as they warm up.
• A shortened stride
• Popping or cracking noises in the joints during movement
• Changes in behavior and disposition
• Swollen and/or warm joints

While there is no cure for OA, pain, and inflammation can be managed to make the horse comfortable and slow down the progression of the disease. If you notice your horse exhibiting any of these signs, contact your veterinarian for a lameness evaluation.
