 Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | Waste of time. Blistering legs is an outdated method, lots better options available now. The rest helps more than the actual blister. |

 Works Hard For The Money
Posts: 4469
Location: Memphis, TN | It was recommended I do it to my gelding but I could never talk myself into doing it. I make sure to do a lot of trotting, backing and trotting out of it, I stay away from small circles other than when we run. I poultice his stifles the night before a race and then when I get ready to warm up I put liniment on his stifles. Magnets before and after each run. He also gets Oxygen Fluidity once a month. I did the loading dose then monthly maintenance. I also ended up switching to the right first after running left for about 3 years. I only run once and roll my time over. So far I've been able to avoid having to inject. As far as blistering I can't remember which brand but I was told to rub dish washing soap over his stifle. It just wasn't my cup of tea. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I think there are much more effective things out there, especially for stifles. I did blister hocks with fire paint once, after they had already been freeze fired. The freeze firing helped, blistering didn't make a difference. My horse barely even reacted to it--not the usual dramatic swelling and hair loss you usually see. |
