You are correct about joint injections. You should do them as little as possible. They only work if the horse is put on a proper work program to build a strong topline & proper muscles to take pain away from the joints. It has been my experience and that of several others that oral joint supplem...

X-rays are a must and will be the first step. Any suggestions regarding a wrok/training program? Can injections work?

Sesamoid Fractures

I need info on sesamoid fractures. I recently adopted an OTTB. He has excellent under saddle training. He has a great work ethic and very good gaits. I was able to track down his exercise rider who gave me lots of info. She thinks he had a fractured sesamoid in the RH. I hope to use this horse for l...

Try the hoof dressings Farrier Barrier and/or Crossopol. Two feed supplements which have excellent results are Farrier's Formula and Horse Power. Horse Power is very expensive but well worth it.

You are correct. Allegro is probably his unofficial name. This is a needle in the haystack. I was thinking of taking out an ad in the Chronicle of the Horse. I am 100% sure he didn't race. His training, gaits and movement scream dressage. I am just so curious about his origins. Thanks for the input.

Info on my Gelding Allegro

I have a 17H TB gelding. His name is Allegro. He is bay w/a blaze and a white hind low sock. No tattoo. Approx 14-15 years old. Any history/info etc on this horse would be appreciated. I don't think he raced. He has good under saddle training. He might have been a jumper on a dressage horse. He is s...
