Joint pain and stiffness are common issues in horses, especially those in work or as they age. Pro-Stride® APS (Autologous Protein Solution) is an advanced, regenerative treatment now available at our clinic to help manage joint disease more effectively.
What is Pro-Stride?
Pro-Stride is a joint injection made from your horse’s own blood. Using a simple stall-side process, we concentrate natural anti-inflammatory proteins and growth factors, then inject them directly into the affected joint.
This helps reduce inflammation while supporting the joint’s natural healing processes.
Is this suitable for your horse?
Before we give any joint injection we provide a full consultation and lameness workup. If required, we can perform imaging such as radiographs or ultrasound to fully understand the big picture of your horse’s discomfort. Often there is more than one think going on, especially in aged horses so it is important to provide a well-rounded approach.
Pro-Stride is ideal for:
-
Performance horses under regular workload
-
Horses with mild to moderate osteoarthritis
-
Older horses needing improved comfort and mobility
-
Horses where steroid use is not ideal (e.g. laminitis risk or competition restrictions)
