==========================================

Call your vet. Typically, Flexor tendon injuries are a relatively
long process to heal depending on what's wrong with the tendon.
Press your vet for a more precise diagnosis and treatment plan.

Agreed!

Also, I recommend reading "The Bowed Tendon Book" by Tom Ivers.  It
contains lots of information on diagnosis & treatment of tendon
injuries.

The very essence of our sport is doing the trail as quickly as practicable,
while keeping one's horse fit to continue.  Taking the clock out of the
equation makes it another sport altogether.  The challenge is how to keep
the sport what it is while honing our skills (both as riders and as those
in control roles) in detecting where "the edge" is for each horse so that
we don't cross it.
