A partner? Thank goodness no! 
Thankfully not a horse either! 
Isn't high ringbone the tougher one to manage?
Obviously balance is going to be crucial. You won't get anywhere without that.
Do joint supps have any impact on ring bone?
I know some people swear by Rapid Response but I think it is pricey.

Thanks for your replies!
I was wanting to weed out the things that would not work.
Some of this stuff is expensive, and I can't really do alot of trying to see if it will work right now.
Jet has this, he does have a bit of a limp. The vet didn't think it was 'career' ending now though. Not that I require alot! Just 2 or 3 hours of time a day. And not all of that will be for riding either. I truly enjoy walking/riding. walk some ride some.
I am curious about that natural balance shoes.. what are they and how are they different?
My plan for Jet is to keep his feet trimmed and use boots for riding..
Anyway , I just don't want to hurt him..

I have natural balance shoes - the breakover point is further back than normal hunter shoes.

Glen has a client horse, a 22yo stallion, with it. it's a form of osteoarthritis. The horse has gone from being convinced he could not lift his front feet to have them trimmed to trotting in about 4 months with barefoot trimming. The owner uses an herbal supplement form Robert McDowell (who ships internationally) and photonic therapy to help the arthritis.
