Enhance Equine Coaching and Bodywork

My musings and thoughts on rehabilitation.
This is the pony that has Tenosynovitis.

The vet gave us a timeline of nine months.
We’ve taken way longer!

We hand walked and we are still hand walking. It’s great to leg a horse up, it doesn’t jar the joints, it strengthens the ligaments and tendons to support.
It also helps your own fitness🥰

In the initial stages, we did ice boots, magnesium soaks and compression bandages.

Coming out of that, we did cold hosing, magnesium soaks and poulticing.

We committed to a daily routine based around

Duration
Intensity
Frequency

It’s been over a year and today she felt strong, even and bright within herself! There were set backs of course, the thing is you can always readjust, re-evaluate, and rework the plan!

Happy horsing🐴

Starting to initiate weight bearing more often, we are on our walking program😜 I SHOULD be feeling fitter😂😂
Still icing or hosing daily, then a vascular flush with epsom salt in warm water, followed by massage with either rapid gel, comfrey oil or tuff rock post walking.

Slowly slowly ….. fingers crossed we’ve turned a corner🤞
