Welcome to Showjumping 101 with Joanne Sloan Allen and Sameh El Dahan.
In this two parter, Joanne and Sameh are joined by Henk Offereins, better known as Henk the Vet, to talk about one of the biggest fears for any horse owner or rider — tendon and soft tissue injuries.
Henk has spent many years treating professional equine athletes and brings a fascinating insight into how tendon injuries are diagnosed, managed and rehabilitated. Together, they discuss why rest alone is not always the answer, the importance of correct diagnosis, controlled loading, and how new technology — including the Equine Tendon boot — is helping more horses return to work safely and successfully.
This is a fascinating discussion that challenges many of the traditional approaches to tendon rehabilitation and offers riders real hope, practical advice and a better understanding of how modern rehabilitation techniques are changing outcomes for equine athletes.
If you’ve ever faced the fear of hearing the words “tendon injury” from your vet, this is definitely an episode you won’t want to miss. Part two is out soon…
