Re: Donte/Vet results

I had a horse with approximately 50% tendon loss as shown by ultrasound.  I
used the muscle stimulator (TENS) unit suggested and he I am grateful to say
is back to riding and is sound.  He pass a prepurchase exam by a very
competent vet.  Now he has a home where he is used as a family trail horse.

After the ultrasound results, my vet wasn't sure he would ever be useable
again, euthanasia was discussed option.  I bought Ti's book, read it, and
then called him.  With Ti's help and advice I was able to rehab him back to
a useable, sound horse.  For me, I had nothing to lose by trying.  I'll glad
I did.  My vet was impressed with the results (we ultrasounded every six
weeks) and asked to preview the video and literature I received so that she
could obtain more education about ways to treat tendon injuries.
