Is there a difference in a bow and a tear? I was
thinking that a bow is a strain where as a tear the
fibers of the tendon are torn, but I don't remember
clearly. Seems like a bow wouldn't need as much
support as a tear.

When I got out my daytimer and looked at my records on
Star's tendon tear she went unwrapped the first 10
days or so because the swelling was so severe, then I
started wrapping and booting her for support. Around
that time we also moved from a barn I leased where she
was alone and very calm to a large boarding barn where
she cast herself throwing herself at a wall, tried to
escape from her stall whenever the door was open (and
was quite succesful at it!), so the vet determined she
needed more support than the average quiet horse.
