Question
Hello ma'am. Is there any way to get rid of ring bone in horses?

Answer
I'm afraid here is only one short (and usually career-ending) answer to this question: no. I have had to retire one of my own favorite horses (she is now a pet who is kept as comfortable as possible but who will require ongoing pain management until it is time that we can no longer keep her comfortable- then she will be humanely euthanized). Not only is ringbone not curable but it will become progressively worse over time.
