Sports and horses have been together for ages and the difference between human athletes and animal athletes is simple, one speaks to you about his injuries while the other cannot. Often times, a horse may seem fine and would rarely whimper at an injury but a trained eye or hand can discover otherwise. The great benefits of EMRT show that horses have consistently higher performance levels and accelerated injury recovery rates.

Finding the right medication for horses is a tricky business, taking into consideration the possible side effects and for racehorses, making sure that the drugs taken would not affect the horse's performance in the race. However, the challenge definitely does not end there. Getting the drugs into the horse's mouth (and making it stay in) is a different matter altogether.

Laminitis or “founder” is a common illness known about by all horse lovers. Native ponies and “good doers” on pasture that is too lush are common victims. It is caused by inflammation of the laminae in the hoof. Although traditionally associated with ponies, it can affect donkeys, mules and horses as well.
