Tendons that fill...

[AnnaandStella]

My horse's legs fill with fluid if she's standing in for a whole day or if it's warm overnight. Anyone have any recommendations -
wraps or bandages - or reasons why this happens?

It goes away after 5 mins of being ridden & her legs don't have windgalls normally...
no heat, just soft swelling.

Thanks!

Although there is no evidence that magnets do anything at all, I have found that my mare's legs are far less filled when she wears her Bioflow boots

That was so well worded! LOL!!!

My mares legs do this - I secretly went to the tack shop without the OH and spend a shed load of money on some lovely fal magnetic stable boots which do the trick of keeping them down....

Thank you! My word if you all knew how many times I had to re-read each post I make to get my wording right...

I am tempted to run a very un-scientific experiment and put a brushing boot on one of Maiden's legs and the Bioflow boot on the other, just to see if there is a difference. I don't think my horse is a suitable research candidate though seeing as she has one leg with a torn tendon and one with extra swelling from compensating for her injury...
