Loving your horse is easy.
They are remarkable creatures and we form unbreakable bonds with them.
That is why it is so upsetting when we see they are in pain. Our immediate urge is to solve the problem anyway we can, but this can lead to more problems.
The first issue with a bit of a panic response is we start to treat the symptoms without discovering what the real underlying problem is.
A swollen hock could be from an accidental trauma
It could be from an infection
It might even be arthritis
The point is, getting an opinion from a professional is your best initial step to actually helping your horse recover and thrive.
The opinion is often defaulted to a vet, and that is never a bad choice. There is another option available to you as well.
