Sandor is a 15 yr old KWPN who has been struggling with hind end lameness. Below is the initial videos from day 1 before beginning PJS.  Main complaint is sore hips/SI area left rear leg swelling sporadically. secondary issues front shoulder stiffness and arthritis and back and neck. He also cribs.

Day 1 - Trotting

Check Ups - Observed changes in comfort, movement & disposition

Week 2 Check In: 

no change at two weeks maybe a little happier in work. still somewhat stiff.

Week 4  check in:

horse is more willing to move but still stiff it is winter and it has turned cold so no riding.

Day  45 Check In:

Day 45 check in – horses definitely moving better. We move south for the winter with warmer weather. He is still some stiffness but marked better than start. Cribbing has mostly stopped

I have changed locations with this horse he has been in and out of work due to weather. In less than 45 days cribbing is almost gone this tells me the horse is much less pain. I wouldn’t have never guessed that this would happen he is still on PJS supplements.

 

PC Journal Notes:

2 weeks into Trial: 
  • no questions so far I have not been able to ride for the last couple weeks we just moved S for the winter so I will be riding tomorrow. I’m excited to see if there is a difference. Sander is definitely walking straighter
30 Days Into Trial: 
  • can I purchase a couple more bags of PJS for Sander he is back into work now the weather has changed. Sander is doing great. I will send a video this week
45 Days into Trial:
  • I have at least four more days of PJS. Sander is feeling so much better under saddle
  • In less than 45 days cribbing is almost gone this tells me the horse is much less pain.
