Some horses seem to carry the odd ache or stiffness as though it's barely worth mentioning.

Others can go from perfectly fine to sending you down rabbit holes almost overnight.

And no question – we're all expert at spotting that something has changed. Not necessarily 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵‘𝘴 changed – but that it definitely has.

So here’s a thing. We tend to picture the obvious things – a hobble, a swollen leg, a horse that's clearly sore or unsound. But horses are masters of adaptation.

A horse that's uncomfortable doesn't simply carry on moving the same way. They shift weight, they alter their posture, sometimes it's age or an old injury. And sometimes it's a flare-up after doing far more hooning around the field than was sensible. (Yes Carmen, I'm talking about you… 😅)

Thing is - they find workarounds - and before long, we're not just looking at one area anymore. We're looking at a whole horse that's adapting around it, which perhaps explains why discomfort doesn't always show up as obvious lameness, but more a horse who keeps sending us down those rabbit holes - because we know something has changed, but we don't always know what.

The more clients we speak with, the more interesting the numerous different influencing factors are – movement, turnout, bodywork, nutrition, inflammation, energy production. Even sunshine! Which influences vitamin D, energy production, and overall wellbeing - all contributing to how comfortable a horse feels in their body.

In short, and as per one of our favourite mantras - 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥.

Perhaps that's why we've never viewed comfort through a single lens - different horses need different things. Which is exactly why we ended up creating two different comfort blends:

💚 𝗗𝘂𝗼𝗕𝘂𝘁𝗲 - for the horses where support becomes part of the everyday picture.
💚 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗕𝘂𝘁𝗲 - for those more unexpected short-term acute moments.

Different horses, different situations, same goal - helping horses feel more comfortable when they need it. And alongside them, 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮 and 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰 tinctures continue to be firm favourites for owners who prefer to build their own support plans.

And for full disclosure, Carmen’s on daily DuoBute, JSTTonic and JointReflexa, with TriBute on the shelf for the tougher days. Although speaking of which, she’s currently bluddy lame again in her historic RH joint sepsis fetlock, which throws a random abscess every few years, so she’s now on BioCARE with TriBute, and in the most amazing hands in her retirement yard.

When was the last time you looked at your horse and thought, "Wow, they look comfortable."

Probably never?! Thing us though - the moment being comfortable starts disappearing, we notice almost immediately.

Interesting, because "comfort" has a funny way of sitting calmly in the background until it's no longer there - then suddenly it becomes the only thing we can think about.

Every horse is going to pick up knocks, strains, and never mind the occasional reminder that none of us are getting any younger - but so many other things can change as well. How well they move (or not), which affects behaviour, and seeing their confidence grow in moving without pain - all of which ultimately affects quality of life.

Behind every stiffness, every subtle limp, every “not quite right” moment – there’s always a deeper story. And sometimes the smallest improvements in comfort can have the biggest effect on the whole horse, which is exactly the rabbit hole we're heading down this week:

👉 What chronic pain actually does to the body
👉 Why long-term bute use might not be the best plan
👉 How mitochondria, the gut, and even sunshine play a role
👉 What natural tools - from herbs to hydro - can really help

And of course, we wouldn’t be EquiNatural without a real-life story. Meet Carmen - our own mare who’s been with us since 2014, beautifully bred for racing yet born with a inward twisted hoof and pastern, written off as a broodmare, then came to us with brewing joint sepsis that was meant to end her story. Now? Technically 2/10 lame but she’d beg to disagree - yes she still zooms around like a 7-year-old, even if she pays for it later.

Her story is living proof that even when the odds say otherwise, it’s possible to keep your horse comfortable, happy, and enjoying life. And Carms has really enjoyed spending the last twelve years teaching me rather a lot about the subject... 😅

☀️ Carms' story is why our comfort range is the heart of this month's 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅&𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝟮𝟬%-𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲:

𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧...
- 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙛𝙖𝙩 - 𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙘𝙡𝙚?

We spend a lot of time talking about beloved Ned’s weight - quick recap back to Monday’s Muscles post - too fat, too thin; weight gain, weight loss…

But when was the last time you heard somebody at the yard say, “I wonder if my horse has enough muscle?"

Here's the interesting bit... We usually think of muscle as something that helps a horse move. But muscle is also one of the body's biggest users of energy. In both humans and horses, healthy muscle helps manage sugars and calories more efficiently.

Which means - a horse can sometimes look quite round on the outside, yet still be carrying less muscle than they really need underneath - and suddenly the conversation becomes very different.

Now before anyone rushes off to turn Dobbin into a bodybuilder, that's not what I'm suggesting at all. 🤣

Let's take a look at it. When we look at a horse, we tend to notice the obvious things first - the crest, the belly, the weight - the things we can actually see.

But isn't it interesting how often the most important things are the things we can't see?

We can't see metabolism, we can't see energy production, we can't see recovery happening, we can't see muscle fibres adapting after exercise. And yet those hidden processes influence so much of what we do see, when the real story is happening underneath.

• A horse can look healthy and still be struggling.
• A horse can look round and still need support.
• A horse can look fine and still be quietly dropping clues.

Probably the main crux of what we do at EquiNatural - and one of the biggest lessons horses have taught me over the years - is to look a little deeper than the obvious, and keep asking questions about what's happening beneath the surface.

Maybe sometimes the real story isn't the thing we're looking at - it's the thing we're not. Too much fat? Or not enough muscle?

Food for thought on a Friday evening.

One thing I know for certain… The owners who contact us about PSSM are some of the most knowledgeable horse owners you'll ever meet. In fact, if you own a PSSM horse, you've probably researched the life out of it already.

You've read the articles, joined the Facebook groups, compared exercise plans, changed the diet, read the studies, changed the diet again…

Which means there's often very little “advice” we can actually give you.

But what we can do is recognise the patterns, because there's a particular kind of horse we hear about again and again. Not obviously lame, not obviously injured, not obviously unwell - and yet - something never quite adds up.

One day they're stiff, the next day they're flying. One week they're inconsistent, the next they're sharp as a razor. Other days they’re overreactive and tight.

And they collect labels like other horses collect rosettes – spooky, lazy, hormonal, nappy, grumpy, sharp. Sometimes all in the same month.

Odd, isn't it. And for all the labels these horses collect, the owners end up saying exactly the same thing: "I can't explain it... but something just isn't right."

And that's where many PSSM conversations begin.

If your horse has been labelled PSSM1, PSSM2, MIM, RER, or simply a "mystery muscle horse", you'll probably know exactly what I mean.

Thing is...
💥 The tests don't always help.
💥 The research doesn't always agree.
💥 The advice can feel contradictory, even impossible to follow.
💥 And the horses themselves rarely read the textbook.

Since our first PSSM client came to us back in 2014, I've lost count of how many conversations have started with that exact same "I can't explain it... but something just isn't right."

And maybe that's why I find the whole PSSM conversation so fascinating.

Over the years we've listened to owners, followed the research, compared notes, updated our thinking, and learned from the horses themselves, updating our PSSM page as we went - pulling together everything we've learned about these complex, often misunderstood muscle horses - which we hope will finally make this topic feel clearer and doable.

I know, muscles aren’t exactly the hot topic of the summer. But here's something I've noticed...

We spend a lot of time talking about weight - weight gain, weight loss; good doers, poor doers; EMS, cresty necks...

But we rarely talk about muscle. Because when a horse's topline won't build, or they're slow to recover, struggling after illness or box rest, or simply don't seem quite as strong as they used to, it may not be weight loss that's telling the story - it could be the muscles quietly dropping clues.

We often think of muscle as power or fitness, but muscle isn't just about strength. It's metabolism, recovery, healthy ageing, and the ability to bounce back when life throws it a curveball. And... it could also be one of the most overlooked pieces of the equine health puzzle.

A brilliant seminar I attended last year looked at muscle loss, ageing, metabolism, and protein nutrition in humans - but the whole time I found myself thinking:

"Horses do exactly the same thing."

So I pulled together some of those fascinating human-to-horse parallels into a blog, to explore why muscle is far more than strength alone - and why the conversation perhaps shouldn't always be about how much fat our horses are carrying, but whether they're carrying enough muscle for the life we're asking them to live.

Another case of some dots joining together.

A couple of years ago, Rich (husband) came back from Glastonbury Festival with knees the size of rugby balls – the first time ever, after more than 30 years of going.

His Fitbit proudly informed him he'd walked around 75-miles over the course of the festival. Not bad for a bloke whose usual exercise routine consisted of walking the dog, a bit of wheelbarrow action on the yard, and standing at the production bench putting together EquiNatural orders.

Needless to say, he spent the next few days moving like said wheelbarrow with a flat.

But to me, the interesting thing wasn't that his knees hurt - it was that after thirty years of doing Glastonbury, they'd never complained quite so loudly before.

Which got me thinking about ageing. Not because Rich is old, she adds hastily! (Well, just tipped into his 60s by then.) But because joints have an incredible ability to keep going for years before they start asking for a little more support.

Horses are no different.

There's an assumption that once the word "arthritis" enters the conversation, we're suddenly talking about old age (in fairness, I remember how I felt when my own joints first started complaining - it certainly made me feel older than I wanted to admit.)

There's also another assumption that unless a horse is lame, everything must be fine - but horses don't always follow that script.

In reality, the way our horse moves often starts hinting long before lameness starts shouting – stiffness, short-striding, less comfy on different surfaces – all small changes, all easy to dismiss, and nothing that would make you immediately call the vet.

My TB mare, Carmen, taught me that lesson years ago. Beautifully bred for racing, but born with an inward-twisting LF and pastern, she was chucked out as a broodmare, then passed from pillar to post until she accidentally found her way to me at age 7.

Over the next 12 years, Carmen taught me something I now see time and time again in other horses - sometimes the joint really is part of the story.

She taught me to notice how posture, muscle development, hoof balance, and compensation patterns were all connected. She never looked old to me - she just kept dropping clues.

That's why products such as our 𝗝𝗦𝗧𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 and 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗮 have become such favourites over the years, because they're designed for horses whose joints may be asking for a little more help than they used to need.

These days? Talking to owners, our mobility conversations rarely start with "What's wrong with my horse?" More often, they start with "Something just feels a little different." And from there, the answers begin to appear.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗙 𝗜𝗧 𝗜𝗦𝗡'𝗧 𝙅𝙐𝙎𝙏 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗝𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧?
~ When it comes to joints, what is our horse trying to tell us?

"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢. 𝙄𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙖, 𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙣, 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩."𝘋𝘳 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘳 𝘒𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘯

So last week we were all melting in 35°C temperatures and watching the ground turn into a scorched river bed.

This week? We're back in fleeces and watching usual British summer decide that it should feel like October for a week - honestly, I’ve got no idea whether to reach for the fly spray or the central heating.

But here's an interesting thing... Whether it's hard or soft ground, changing weather, increased workloads, competitions, or simply lovely longer hacks, June is often when the simple act of more movement starts revealing things about our horses.

A bit footier on stony tracks, a bit slower to warm up, a bit tighter behind after exercise - or maybe they just don't feel quite as loose as they did a few weeks ago. Nothing you'd call the vet about - but perhaps just something you notice that sits in the back of your mind.

It's tempting to assume it's just age, or just the ground - and for sure that might be the case. But it’s often our first clue that something deeper might be influencing how comfortably a horse moves - and that's because movement isn't created by joints alone.

Cue one of my favourite quotes from Dr Eleanor Kellon (above) - as in... when movement changes, the joint isn't always the whole story. Muscles, connective tissue, cellular energy production, even hydration and nutrition... All matter, along with resilience - and recovery. It's a full-body team effort.

And this is where things start to get interesting - something I've noticed over the years where the most noticeable changes don't always come from where you'd expect - surprisingly overlooked nutrients:

• 𝗠𝗦𝗠 - provides sulphur, an essential building block for connective tissue, collagen, muscle tone, and tissue resilience. Yet many horses receive very little of it in today's diets.

• And then there's 𝗔𝗰𝗲𝘁𝘆𝗹 𝗟-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 (𝗔𝗟𝗖𝗮𝗿), a supplement I've become slightly evangelical about over the years. While most of us think joints or muscles when it comes to mobility, ALCar works right down at the cellular level, helping the mitochondria - the tiny energy factories inside every cell - produce energy more efficiently.

(𝘔𝘺 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘧 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘓𝘊𝘢𝘳 - 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵, 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘧, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘺, 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴 𝘴𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘌𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘴.

This is what I find so fascinating about how a horse moves - it relies on far more than simply the joint itself. Healthy circulation, good hydration, adequate protein, antioxidants, and not forgetting the body's ability to clear away the metabolic debris created by exercise and everyday wear and tear - they all have a role to play.

That's why, throughout June, we're looking at all-things-movement from a bigger perspective than simply "joint" support, because the most important question isn't so much what's wrong with the joint - it's more "What's Ned's movement trying to tell me?"

JOINTS | COMFORT | MUSCLES | PSSM

And so to June. The days are longer, the ground is firming up, and many of us are spending more time riding, competing, hacking, and generally making the most of summer.

It's also the time of year when how your horse moves can start telling us a story.

It might be the horse who suddenly feels a bit footy on stony tracks, or the older horse who takes a bit longer to warm through. The one carrying a touch of tension after exercise, or simply the horse who isn't moving quite as freely as they were a few weeks ago.

It's easy to put these things down to age, workload, or hard ground alone – and sometimes that's true. But over the years we've learned that movement is rarely just about the joints.

Muscles matter. Energy production matters. Comfort matters. Above all, recovery matters. And often it's the way these systems work together that determines how well a horse moves.

That's why, throughout June, we're going to be exploring all things movement. We'll be talking about joints and mobility, muscles and healthy ageing, comfort and recovery, PSSM and muscle function, and some of the often-overlooked links between metabolism and movement.
