The Danger of Heating Your Horse's Tendons

SHARE POST

And How HUSK Air Boots Reduce the Risk to Your Horse.......

Although we don't necessarily see the effects of the heating of our horse or pony's tendons immediately, the video below goes into detail about the cumulative effect of over heating and cooling your horse's tendons. 


A good example would be similar to when a wooden door is subjected to heat and then cool over the years, and the expansion and contraction through exposure to extreme temperatures leads to splitting and degrading of the wood.  This is the same with tendon tissue.


The effects of this tendon damage are subtle to start with:


 - Reduced flexibility

 - Reduced performance

 

Over time we start to see:


 - Increased injury severity

 - Increased injury frequency


The simple solution is to aim to reduce the risk of injury for your horses, and if you can find leg protection that not only protects from impact AND doesn't increase temperature then INVEST in HUSK!


HUSK Breathable Horse Boots have been tested over and over again for impact protection as well as effect on heat.  HUSK Breathable Horse boots have been tested alongside vets in comparison to MOST OF THE Equine Horse Boot MARKET LEADERS:


 - Le Mieux Air Mesh Boots

 - Equilibrium Tri Zone Boots

 - Premier Equine Air Cooled Boots

 - Professional Choice Air Cooled Boots


To demonstrate that HUSK Breathable Horse boots are the BEST leg protection for horses on the market.
