Prevention is Key: Protecting Your Horse's Tendons for Long-Term Soundness

Prevention is Key: Protecting Your Horse's Tendons for Long-Term Soundness

When it comes to equine soundness, prevention is always better than treatment. A tendon injury can take months, if not years, to heal. Even after the injury has healed, the risk of re-injury remains high. A proactive approach to tendon care is essential for keeping your horse sound, strong, and performing their best for years to come.

The Risk of Tendon Injuries

Tendons are the basis of equine movement, absorbing impact and allowing the lower limbs to move. Due to the extreme stress tendons withstand, they are highly vulnerable to strain due to overuse. Tendons have a limited blood supply, making them slow to heal when damaged. A single misstep, or repeated minor stress can cause inflammation, mico-tears, or even full rupture, which can sideline your horse from all work. Horses in high impact sports are more prone to tendon injuries.

Building a Strong Foundation

A well-rounded tendon care program starts before an injury occurs. Adequate warm-up and cool-downs, balanced nutrition, appropriate conditioning, proper footing, leg protection, and post-ride care all play a role in keeping tendons healthy. But even with the best management, tendons still endure constant stress. That's where Tendonall comes in.
