Introduction
Senior horses often experience stiffness, reduced flexibility, and slower recovery. A proactive wellness routine can help maintain comfort and mobility.
Understanding Aging
Cartilage wears with age, muscles weaken, and joints become less flexible. Proper management is essential.
Common Signs
Stiffness after rest, shortened stride, reluctance to move, swollen joints, slower recovery.
Daily Routine
Gentle turnout, warm-up, balanced nutrition, hydration, hoof care, and red light therapy as part of a complete wellness routine.
How Red Light Therapy May Help
Veterinary-grade red and near-infrared light may support circulation, muscle relaxation, and recovery. It complements but does not replace veterinary care.
