I know it's awful, but it really isn't the end of your ability to ride him. These days there are so many options. Speak to farrier and vet and they will be able to work out a program for him. Def go for the xrays - it's good to see exactly what you are dealing with.
re the side job - wow! That would be amazing work, you'd need a hell of a stomach, I think. Very underrated work. People never think about the people who clean up and make something liveable or useable again, hey.

Gah, omg. Oh honey, I'm so sorry! *hugs*

It sucks. It's not your fault.
Boofy (28.5) has devil's claw and glucausomine, there are good options, the shots are apparently very good.
BIG BIG HUGS to you and Beejy.

I'm so sorry about this. I've had great success and heard of success with devilsclaw and yucca.

Also, my favorite supplement place has a good supplement with useful stuff: http://www.horsetech.com/hylasport-dc.htm#Quick%20Links%20to%20Product%20Pages

I don't know where they ship to though. They are pretty awesome to talk to on the phone or through e-mail too.
