When it comes to performance horses, it's easy to focus on recovery after an injury–but by then, you're already behind. The real goal is never needing rehab in the first place.
Tendons and ligaments are slow to heal, and even minor soft tissue strain can sideline a horse for months. That's why prevention is essential.
Here's how to shift your mindset from reactive to proactive when it comes to soft tissue health:
1. Make Daily Support Part of the Program
Soft tissue care shouldn't start after a diagnosis. Daily support through movement, management, and targeted supplementation can help reduce the risk of strain before it starts.
Tendonall is formulated to strengthen tendons and ligaments from the inside out, helping horses stay resilient through training, travel, and competition.
2. Know the Warning Signs
Heat, swelling, or slight resistance under saddle may seem minor–but they're often early signals of soft tissue stress. Don't wait for a clear injury to take action.
Use these signs as a cue to adjust workload, reassess footing, or begin additional support.
3. Think Long-Term, Not Just Show-to-Show
Short-term fixes (icing, wrapping, or anti-inflammatories) are helpful tools, but they don't build long-term durability.
Building strong, elastic soft tissues takes time and consistency. The best programs don't just react to problems, they're built to prevent them.
A Smarter Path to Soundness
Whether your horse is at the top of their career, or just starting out, protecting soft tissues is one of the most important investments you can make.
Tendonall is trusted by top riders, vets, and trainers for a reason: it fits seamlessly into your program and works beneath the surface to reduce risk and promote recovery before setbacks happen.
Start protecting what matters, before an injury happens.
