I agree. However, arthritis is obvious in humans that have it in their hands, etc. I think there would be some sort of enlargement or swelling. As well, people talk about a difference in their horses' movement. I don't know...I'd like to know more about spavin. I've heard people talk about their horses having spaving so bad that they considered putting them down. I'd like to know more about a disease that causes an owner to think like that. Wanda
