Could the hock problems be helped by hock injections or a trial of PSGAG shots?  If not, I am sorry because of the loss of your experienced partner.  I am still lightly riding my 22 year old to help his soundness and give oral joint supplements even though he is not a candidate for hock injections. Best wishes!  Dana in KS

I understand your situation, Una. My gelding had to retire due to hock issues. I have an energetic 6 yr. old QH now that has a lot of SAR talent, but it's not the same old comfy fit as my rock steady partner for years and years. I will say that my gelding tought me a lot that I hope to pass on to the next horse and he's now happily retired and in my front yard...or close to the kitchen window when it's time for dinner. He deserves his retirement and I just enjoy his company.

I think I need to start looking for a new MSAR horse.  My wonderful
old mare lately has developed some health problems and signs of her
arthritis becoming severe enough that she should not be going out
anymore on our (ahem) rather technical trails. It's heartbreaking,
but on the other hand we had some great years together.
