Spring is around the corner, and we are all starting to bring our horses back into work.
DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE!
What do we need to check for?
Soft tissue injuries: Remember that muscular fitness is important. When bringing a horse back into work after winter turnout; warm up is vital to ensure a good blood supply to the muscles and prevent injury.
Saddle: Check the saddle fit as our horses have likely changed shape. We are surprised at how many horses have back soreness coming in this season. Horses have responded well to mesotherapy.
Seedy toe: Due to the wet conditions, many horses this year have developed seedy toe over the winter. If this is left untreated then abscessation is a high risk in the next few months.
Grass: The grass has started to grow and we have already seen some spasmodic colics. Start thinking about introducing Equishure to prevent that inflammation that happens with a sudden influx of highly digestible fibre arrives in the hind gut.
