Description

Just because a horse is aging doesn’t mean their athletic career is over. But keeping senior athletes performing well takes a different approach.

In this episode of The Soundness Check, Dr. Michelle Correia (horse + human physio) and Dr. Rachel Buchholz (equine sports medicine vet) talk about what it takes to keep aging horses sound, strong, and happy in their work. From managing joint health and medical histories- to adjusting conditioning programs and expectations- they share insights on how to support horses through each stage of their athletic lifespan.

Because aging is inevitable—but decline doesn’t have to be.
