Why This Matters for Horse Owners
Proper geriatric care can extend a horse’s comfort, mobility, and lifespan. Knowing what to look for—and when to adjust care routines—can make all the difference. From diet changes to early intervention for dental or joint issues, ongoing education helps owners make informed decisions and prevent unnecessary health challenges.
