Tendon Strain in Horses N.Z. Equine Research Foundation Written by Kathy Gibson

The problem for those who own and train horses is how to minimise this predicament in their racing and jumping animals. To address the question, they firstly need to understand how tendons are constructed and how exercise affects them. Once they have this knowledge they can use appropriate management and husbandry practices to reduce the occurrence of strains and minimise the damage done to tendons that are affected.

This book sets out to explain these things in simple terms so that those working with our competitive horses can understand the problem and the means of reducing its consequences. The practical application of this knowledge could significantly reduce the enormous cost of tendon injury to our horse industry and the heartbreak that accompanies a "broken down" horse.

• The Normal Tendon
• The Injured Tendon
• The Healing Tendon
• The Injured Tendon: Diagnosing the Problem
• Managing the Injured Tendon
• Preventing Tendon Strain.
