Re: [RC] Tendon injuries - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================


What do the vets out west recommend for major tendon

injuries?

Tom Ivers in "The Bowed Tendon Book" recommends NO wrapping.  And
that's what I did with my mare's rear leg low bow.  I hand walked,
then moved her to walking on the lunge (couldn't believe she would
do that when she hadn't been out to buck or run or play in months),
eventually walking with me on her back (bareback and in a halter,
by that time she seemed to have decided she'd never do anything but
walk ever again).  Since then she's done a couple LDs & 5 50s.
