best way to handle these situations is to be prepared. For any emergency, a
good way to be prepared is to have a first-aid kit.
All horse owners should have one, even if it is basic.

Although not usually life-threatening, arthritis causes your horse pain
and can be career-ending. In fact, a research report from Michigan State
University's McPhail Equine Performance Center calls degenerative joint
disease the single most common cause of early retirement for sport horses.
Scientists are working hard on several studies that might eventually
present realistic solutions for actually reversing the arthritis
process--regenerating cartilage and synovial fluid through modern miracles
such as gene therapy. While awaiting such exciting developments, you don't
have to sit back and watch your horse suffer. Arthritis can be managed now.
Using a multi-pronged approach, you can improve the affected joint's range of
motion, reduce pain and inflammation, and significantly slow the degeneration
process, resulting in a comfortable horse with a prolonged performance
career.
