Question
Hello Renee,

Do you have any pictures of arthritis in horses. The reason I ask is because for fair I am doing a poster on arthritis in horses and I need some pictures to go with it. If you have any pictures of a how a horse looks with arthritis from the outside or the inside. Please let me know as soon as possible. If you don't do you know anyone that might be able to help me?

Thank you,
Makayla

Answer
Dear Makayla,
            Arthritis in horses is hard to put into a picture, it is more associated with joints. All you would need is a picture with points on the joints to show you where arthritis can strike. Most horses with arthritis show it in the way they walk, stiff and painfull. They stand normally.
