Overworking your horse when training can lead to muscles, ligaments, and tendon strains and sprains. Sprains or strains or more likely to occur if a horse changes speed abruptly or participates in an activity that involves sudden movements. Overgrown hooves may also increase the likelihood of a sprain or strain. Minor strains, sprains, and bruising in horses and ponies can be treated with rest, ice (ice gels), anti-inflammatories, and bandaging. You can also try massaging the muscles after the first 48 hours. Our selection of premium equine lotions, oils and creams can be of great benefit to horses suffering minor strains, sprains or bruising. We can also offer you great service along with fast delivery wherever you are in the UK.
