TBone - 2017-02-09 7:46 AM I had one that had a 50% tear thru the front left superficial digital tendon, up high, just below the back of the knee.  He never showed much lameness, just felt a little off, so I had continued riding him too until it was diagnosed.  After diagnoses, I wrapped with Runners Relief 12 hours on/12 hours off six days per week.  I was back riding him in 90 days and back competing in 120 days and have not had any issues with it.

 Tell me more about Runners Relief.  How many weeks did you do this for (6 on, 1 off)?  How long does a 3.5# tub last?  Trying to help my son's mare heal after her injury two weeks ago.  X ray and ultrasound (2.5 hours, bless that vets heart) done.  Suspensory is a mess, no clear tear but basically vet said was way overstretched and won't shrink back to proper form (think slinky stretched too far and doesn't shrink back down).  She is 22 and we realize she may not compete again.  However, would love to get the remaining inflamation out of her pastern and help her be comfortable.  She is a big baby.  Thanks!
