Re: RC: tendon injury

Martha,

Does another horse(a friend) help if you can put it nearby? OR, another
thing I've done is get  hay that is not too rich(grass or oat) and feed
him MANY different feeding per day so he has something to
do--eat!!OR(and I have never tried them myself so don't know if they
work or not) a "horse ball" hanging in the stall or pen to play with?  I
DO know how hard this is with a horse who is NEVER penned up as mine
are.   They just HATE it!
