Summary Reasons for performing study: Medications are frequently employed to treat intra-articular (IA) problems in the performance horse.

The majority of respondents (77%) use triamcinolone acetonide (TA) to treat high motion joints and 73% use methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) to treat low motion joints.
