My good mare cut her hock in a fence as a baby, it was less than 1 inch deep. She is left with a little scar on her hock, no soundness issues. Every now and then it will swell up a little bit though, mostly in the summer and on summery fall/spring days. It doesn't appear to affect her much. Anything I can use/do to help reduce the swelling?? I hose it with cool water and borrow a magnet from a friend and that seems to help a lot, but I was wondering what you guys do/use to help. Also, I am looking to buy a magnet for myself, which ones seem to work best?? Thank you!!

Location: Where Governor's make the liscense plates		I would wrap it with a back on track polo or hock wrap. Whatever will go over that area easily for you. My gelding would get wind puffy if he stood in the stall too long and input bot quick wraps on him and the fluid moves right out and he loves them. It really brings good blood flow that carries that inflammation away. This is just my experience that I've had good luck with

I would use the PHT hock wrap. So get some hock ice wraps. You might also try using a poultice.
