Those were the days! Freddy on top of our mobile clinic. She pointed at someone in the crowd and the poor soul would be dragged inside, chopped into pieces abd kicked out covered in blood. Not sure if we would get away with that nowadays...Halloween parade 2013.

Testing for anti bodies is a proactive part of management of Covid, it’s easy and is another factor that will help getting us back to “normality”. Swap test are the only way to diagnose when someone is sick or actually has the virus, they won’t pick up an infection in the past. I am also very interested to see what studies are going to find when people have (spike) antibodies and if there is a need to vaccinate those people......

The Equestride illustrated

HOW MUCH SUPPORT DOES YOUR HORSES BOOT ACTUALLY OFFER?

The purpose of any boot/bandage should be to prevent overloading of the tendon by offering sufficient support. We put three of the most popular tendon support means to the test to find out how they perform under peak load.

We used our equine leg simulator to find out how medicine boots, exercise bandages and the equestride boot (on setting 1- the mildest of settings) performed under peak load. As seen below, both bandages and medicine boots offer much less support at peak load than generally perceived. The equestride boot is the clear winner in this case.

Bear in mind- should the fetlock have extended any further than the peak load pictured in the first image , "unrestricted leg", the tendon would have been injured.
