At ArcEquine HQ we talk to many customers whose horses are dealing with various conditions and injuries. The most common of these injuries are those of the suspensory Ligaments.
The suspensory ligament runs down the back of the cannon bone from just below the knee (or hock). Its job is to support the ankle joint (or Fetlock) as it sinks under weight and returns to normal when the weight comes off.
"Our mare had 30% damage to both hind suspensory ligaments and type 2 sagittal ridge OCD lesion to right hind fetlock. Recommended treatment was surgery to clean out the joint and remove any soft or damaged tissue, followed by a steroid injection into the fetlock joint. Box rest during this time then in hand exercise for 8 weeks before reassessment scans, x-rays and possible platelet injection into the hind suspensory ligaments in April 2015. All this meant she would be out of action for a year.
We started to use the ArcEquine to treat the damaged hind suspensory ligaments and OCD lesion, with her being put on the injury treatment protocol, while walking in hand and on box rest.
3 weeks into her 9 week plan using the ArcEquine she was walking well and tracking up and over easily."
