We had a rough winter. Faux Pas, my horse, had the worst bout of discomfort and lameness yet with the cold weather. I eventually switched up his supplements, and added devil's claw to the mix as an anti-inflammatory. It has helped a great deal, and now with warm weather and more regular work he's at about 98%. Again, I have changed our warm up routine, and now we trail ride first, for about 30 minutes to get some blood flowing before we move on to trot work. Since he's still out of shape I'm really only focusing on trotting right now. Once I've built up his strength and stamina we'll work on more. I can't tell if this is just an obstacle to work around, or if I just have an older horse now with limited abilities. I suppose time will tell.
