9-month-old filly, spooked and hit extensor tendon on left leg over fetlock joint. Within one week, tendon showed thickening. Did not respond to wraps or sweats. Treated with Equitonic 20 minutes per day, 5 days per week (Mind), then 10 minutes per day, 5 days per week. Reduction in thickened area on tendon about 80% in 6 weeks. Now about 90% reduction in tendon size. Joint almost looks normal. Enlargement of joint areas are faults in confirmation. This filly is showing in breeding/sport horse classes where confirmation makes up a large part of her overall score.
