Return to Case Studies

My little coloured horse Tommy is 6 years old. My wife and I backed him and brought him on. He does a bit of everything, dressage, showjumping and x-country but his main sport is that of Skill at Arms (Tentpegging). Last year he won best Novice horse with the British Tentpegging Association.

This year in July he strained his near fore tendon sheath. I gave him 4 weeks off and went to bring him back into work. However his near fore tendon sheath was still not sound and he was still 1/10th lame (no change from when he tweaked it). I started using the ArcEquine on him and within a week his strained near fore tendon sheath was better and he was completely sound – so I started bringing him back into work. I completed the 6 week programme and he has remained sound, no more problems with his near fore tendon sheath, and has now been back into work for 6 weeks. He will continue to do dressage and showjumping over the winter until the start of next year’s tentpegging season.
