EQU StreamZ | Diagnosing and treating splints in horses

Continuous inspection of your horses legs is a great way to protect your horse from a splint injury. Prevention is as important as cure and detecting lameness early may help to avoid splint injuries. If your older horse (over the age of 5) develops a splint injury this can result in higher levels of lameness and will require extended periods of rehabilitation than with younger horses. It may also lead to arthritic issues within the joint itself. Ensuring your young horse is warmed up properly before exercise is important as well as maintaining proper foot trimming and shoeing. If your horse is active or a sports horse then using exercise or brushing boots can help prevent impact injuries and if your horse does develop signs of a splint injury contact your vet as soon as possible.
