One of the most common problems in the equine athlete and pleasure horse is recurring lameness, which can be equally frustrating for owner, rider and veterinarian. At one moment, the issue may seem resolved, bringing relief, but then it may recur or maybe even a new problem develops.

Despite these efforts, many are still seeking options to help get to the next level of comfort not only for themselves, but also for their equine companions and pets. Let’s take a look at what is going on and what other options may be available.

Curcumin, the “Indian Solid Gold” is one of the most cherished spices in the world. Health is something we all take for granted, but did you know that Curcumin taken daily can bring about dramatic health changes for the positive? Whether if you suffer from chronic joint pain, lower back pain or overall stiffness, benefits can be seen. In horses, we battle with joint deterioration, back complaints and overall unsoundness, chasing these conditions with expensive remedies combating something that could be better managed from another standpoint. Even in horses, dramatic changes can be evident, often creating confusion as to how something so simple can have such far reaching effects. Pets are no different, suffering from the same clinical maladies that affect humans. They too can benefit immensely, restoring healthy, vitality and a quest for life. So, why is this herb so wonderful?
