horse that she now is. I have always called her my

Sunday has existed, she frequently comes up to the
gate to greet me when I pull into the driveway. She
also comes to me when I whistle, saving me having
to cross the pasture to catch her or bring her into
the barn. She also recognizes my voice, even in the
dark or out of view, as I always talk to my horses,
being the great listeners that they are. Besides, if a Pimilico Racetrack in Maryland
firm tone is used, she knows she is being corrected
and responds accordingly. She is frequently eager
to take the bit in her mouth before I even get it close
to her, sometimes lipping the leather straps in her
mouth instead of the bit because she is so ready to
go. I have since raised and owned several other nice
horses and foals, but “Sunday”, being like a firstborn
child, always holds a special place in my heart.

marrow mononuclear cells (BMNC) are considered

progenitors (immature) cells that are naturally pro-

grammed to produce an anti-inflammatory response

when exposed to an inflammatory environment such

as an arthritic joint. He adds, “A series of studies

in horses with experimentally induced OA revealed

that intra-articular injection of BMNC replenishes

the inflamed joint with healthy macrophages, which

allowed them to maximize their anti-inflammatory

effects, favoring the recovery of a healthy articular

environment.”

Based on the positive results noted with intra-artic-

ular injection of BMNC, Everett and his colleagues

performed a clinical trial. “Our clinical trial evaluated

the ability of intra-articular BMNC (injection into the

affected joint) to improve clinical signs of naturally

occurring OA in horses,” says Everett. “We hypothe-

sized that intra-articular BMNC administration would

reduce lameness and joint inflammation compared to

negative controls, and that the reduction in lameness

and joint inflammation would not differ from a positive

control, corticosteroids.”

Everett’s research team studied 19 horses separat-

ed into one of three groups. One group treated with

BMNC, an untreated control group (saline), and a

positive control group treated with a corticosteroid

(triamcinolone).

Research he presented at the American Associa-

tion of Equine Practitioner’s 2020 virtual conference

and at the American College of Veterinary Surgeons

Conference, demonstrated that the novel treatment

is very promising. Everett finds it exciting, too, “be-

cause cells can be collected from the patient them-

selves, do not require extensive processing, and

have the potential to benefit thousands of people and

horses suffering from arthritis.”

The trial revealed BMNC-treated horses had sig-

nificantly reduced lameness after 21 days. “Limb
