 In this episode, we explore coffin joint arthritis, a common yet complex cause of lameness in horses. Discover how this degenerative joint condition affects performance, and how diagnostic tools like nerve blocks, radiographs, and advanced imaging guide precise farriery and veterinary treatment. We discuss trimming and shoeing strategies to relieve joint stress, supportive therapies such as joint injections and biologics, and practical owner management tips including exercise, environment, and nutrition. A must-listen for farriers, vets, and horse owners aiming to keep horses comfortable and sound.
