Unfortunately, many coaches only care about
the WIN now, not the future of the player. If there is pain, it needs rest
to heal, not continued playing for "the team". Youngsters, whether human or
equine, are not fully developed and cannot always take the repeated
stresses that competitive sports put on their body. There are rules in
our sport (endurance) to protect our equines, there are no rules to protect
our kids from egotistical coaches who are more concerned about their
record. It's up to you, Mom & Dad!
MSM gave me total relief from the tendonitis in my
elbow. I had incredible pain for over a year, then I started taking MSM after
having a discussion with a fellow rider about why it's given
to horses.....to reduce inflammation. It's been 2 years now & my elbow
is still pain free. I continue to take the MSM as I'm sure my aging
body always has inflammation somewhere.
