Location: Las Vegas | Is there any feed through supplements you feed to support tendons an ligaments? Im always so paranoid about my mare getting a bow. I use Iconoclast when I run her and use standing wraps after a race. Would love to hear your ideas. |

| Game ready has been shown to strengthen tendons and ligaments.
I just started applying sore no more poultice clay after runs, my vet says the bentonite clay is the best clay to remove inflammation.
The best way to prevent a bowed tendon is adequate legging up, my vet says 3 months, then adequate warmup, and cool down. My vet also says to increase longitivtiy of performance horses they should have 3 consecutive months off to allow muscle regeneration, and healing to occur. |

Location: Las Vegas | She is definetly in shape, we are currently rodeoing I usually warm her up for about 30-45 minutes before I run. I have been using a clay poultice after our runsI use magnet boots before I run (would like to get back on tracks) then I cold hose her legs after but Im buying ice boots this week.
And I really like the game ready, I used it during a big 3 day race out here. Definetly nticed a difference

If you keep your eye out you can find a used older generation game ready for under 1500, I have one of each and honestly like the older generation better.
(The reason I have 2 was I bought the older generation because all the wraps and hoses are expensive it was cheaper to buy a used unit then replacement parts) |

Location: So. Cali. | I just finished up 30 days of Smart Tendon by Smartpak for my mare who is believed to have sore suspensories. She was occasionally standing slightly bow legged on her front right leg after exercise, so far she has stopped doing it. Now we'll see if it was actually the Smart Tendon helping it...

| NitrOxide for support or NitrOxide and NutraWOUND for an injury.
Also, after a while you can switch to an Equine Edge Performance formula with added ingredients in a blend for the support needed to stay healthy and competitive. |
