How to Resolve a Major Tendon Injury

The barrel racing industry is starting to see a new trend; and hopefully it will shift into a new way of thinking: to support horse health throughout his athletic career for long term benefits.  If the equine body’s soft tissue is prepared properly for competition; it can prevent injury, and allow for quicker recovery time if injury does present itself.

Veterinarians and horse trainers agree that equines used in speed events sustain more injuries than any other discipline besides jumping (English). Maybe you’ve already accepted that your horse may get hurt and hope to have a good run while his soundness lasts. There is a way to sustain your investment without readily accepting early retirement from a diagnosis such as, “loaded stress on the tendons and ligaments resulting in measurable tears and proliferation”.
