By Mary Butler


With green grasses for the horses to feed on and lush green to laze on the warm weather also brings with it some pain, in the form of laminitis and founder. It has still not been fully known what bring this about but a critical observation shows that it is brought about by the metabolic and mechanical attributes. During spring, the foods that our they feed on being food with sugar content and forages exacerbate this condition.As such it is worth to know about pain relief for horses.

Laminitis is a painful condition occurring on the hoof. There occurs a breakdown on the bond and compromises the laminae. This condition is at the frog apex and brings about a tender sole where you find them unwilling to step as a result of the pain and heal.. Notably it will look for a soft ground to place its hoof on. Mostly they place it a pile of hay. Founder is also a condition that occurs.Where the coffin bone gets detached and rotates downward pushing the hoof sole.

It becomes hard to owners to watch them suffer and as such we endeavor to ensure they are as comfortable. There is reported success in relieving the agony using massage methods known as equine.

The bone that is connected to the deep digital flex ligament is known as the coffin bone. It adjoins the flexion muscle up at the leg from the back. The laminitis pain, neck and shoulder muscles all the way back and tighten up to equalize the condition at the feet which are laminitis.

It results in being multifaceted and we see the muscles tightening and getting short hence increasing tension on the coffin bone and being more painful. Flex muscles and triceps need to be massaged facing the down on the back of the legs to release the tension on the coffin bone. The massage serves to relax the tissues that are connected to the leg, shoulder, and neck that are already contracted.

To help recover from the condition massage it starting up working downwards can be helpful. The rhomboid and trapezium will tend to be tight as it is here that it uses the weight off its head to move using the sick place. It does this by throwing up its head at any movement that will interfere with the painful limb. First touch the it gently and make the touch firmer with time and watch the response of the it to see if it is too little or too much. Stroke first with petrissage then effluvia and massage methods.

Work on the affected area about five to ten minutes ensuring that when at the back the leg muscle you are as effective on the flexed on the left. Thus is not to be applied on the muscle found on the lower left as it can cause pain . Resting the leg on your knee for a bit as this might cause it to want to change weight over to the other left. Massage the tendons found down on the top and the lower leg. Respect the pain tolerated. Some can be tolerant that other and will indicate when they need to relax a bit.

The massage should be repeated on a daily basis and within two to three weeks notable difference is expected as will be shown by the level of comfort by the animal. Once the pain becomes less then incorporating more stretches on the extension to assist in the healing of the soft tissue.

Before applying any therapy consult a veterinarian to ensure that there are not side effects and also if your beast is infected.
