On blood vessel take advise of your vet which it seems you are already dong.

Lymes dont know have not had to deal with it

The last you can do injections either IM or in the joint. A joint supplement might do the trick as well. And I would think once you and your vet have figured out the best program for your horse barrel racing shouldnt be a problem there are many many high level show horses who contnue their show lives with out problems.

i wouldnt barrel race a horse with arthritus, unless it was only a few shows a year and not anything too stressful.

thats never fun, sorry about all the injuries. i assume your already talking and working with a vet, so your best bet is to ask them, as they already know your horse and the extent of the injuries.
for more help on here, youll need to post the age, fitness level, ect. of your horse.
