Winter can be especially challenging for veteran horses and understanding the aging process helps us to provide the best nutritional support. Ageing is accompanied by loss of muscle mass, changes in fat storage and mobilisation, an increase in insulin resistance and, in extreme cases, onset of Cushings. Additionally, wear and tear systems – joint degradation, onset of laminitis (exacerbated by the preceding disorders) – cause physical damage.

Hard ground has a higher impact resistance so the energy transmitted from the horse is not absorbed to the ground, increasing concussion up the limb. Whilst some of us are lucky enough to have access to an all-weather synthetic surface to ride and train on, for others this is not an option so faster work may be carried out on sub-optimal ground. When competing it can also be difficult to avoid harder ground despite the best...
