Episode #43: My Horse is Injured. What Now?


Horses = injuries. Period. 

Whether in sport or a paddock accident, it can happen to your horse. What then?

Join me for this episode where we break down the categories of injuries that horses face. Trauma, conformational complications, sport specific injuries and functional/body misuse injuries are all discussed. 

And, of course, we look at what is appropriate for each phase of injury rehabilitation, from the acute phase all the way through return to play. These steps include:

  • Pain control 

  • Range of motion restoration 

  • Control in range of motion

  • Strength in range of motion 

  • Stamina
