My good cow horse was diagnosed with 3 strains in his deep digital flexor tendon on Monday :-( Looks like we will be missing most, if not all, of his derby year. I am lucky enough to be able to use one of the top perfomance horse vets on the west coast and I am planning on doing the arterial stem cell on him. Does anyone have experience, good or bad, with this injury and stem cell and recovery?

My cow horse mare tore her front right superficial digital flexor tendon in May. I only had her 3 months and got to go to one show. I did stem cell therapy where they injected right into the tear. We are now currently in our 7 month of rehab. It is really slow going. The vet says it will take a year, so I'm hoping I will be able to show her in July 2014. I'm currently looking for another horse, but boy a good one is hard to find. Good luck on rehab!
