Improved Healing for Tendon Injury

It can be quite a difficult time when your horse is down with an injury or illness. Sending it to the right equine rehab is important.


Horses need a lot of exercise to stay healthy. Sometimes it is not possible to give them the amount of exercise that they require. This is where exercising equipment comes in useful.

Tendon Injury in horses

When a horse has Tendon Injury it can be quite a trying time for both the horse and owner. In general the healing time for a tendon injury in horses is anywhere between 9 to 12 months. Dutch Dream Horses specialises in rehabilitation of horses with tendon or ligament injuries. The horse requires total rest while healing such an injury and any kind of exercise can delay the healing period. With a tendon or a ligament injury the horse is not permitted any exercise and this can cause the horse to suffer other problems such as colic.

Horse Therapy

The best horse therapy is on the Vita Floor vibrating platform. This state of the art equipment helps to improve the blood circulation of the horses. The increased blood circulation affects not just to the legs but the effects are felt even in the vital organs of the equine. The vibrating platform has a number of benefits and one of the greatest ones is that the improved blood circulation helps increase the pace of healing especially for internal injuries such as tendon and ligament injuries. The vibration therapy not only helps with healing but also helps to prevent the occurrence of such injuries by ensuring that the horse has an overall well rounded exercise.


Horses that are kept on rest due to their illness or injury tend to suffer from colic due to the lack of exercise. If your horse has regular sessions on the Vita Floor vibrating platform it will help to prevent them from suffering from colic.
