Hock pain in horses occurs all too frequently. It can be a simple sprain or it can be severe enough to cause degeneration. Causes of hock pain include (1) jumping, (2) pulling and driving, (3) turns on haunches, particularly at speed, (4) true collected gaits, and (5) breeding in stallions. Also, Cow-hocks, Sickle-hocks and an overly straight hind leg can result in hocks being loaded unevenly, thus causing hock injuries. Either simple or severe, hock injury pain requires tender and loving care of your horse. The hock is a complicated joint, involving five levels of bone tibia, three rows of tarsal bones, metatarsus/cannon and the four joint spaces between them. The joint between the tibia and the upper tarsal bone travels through a wide range of motion, allowing the hock to flex, and resembles the elbow in many ways. The lower joints have much less movement and look more like the knee, but they do not open and close to the extent the knee joint does. The bones are connected by an intricate system of tiny ligaments inside the hock joint, which is then encased in the joint capsule. The tendons of various muscles run beside or attach to the hock from the outside and one, the cunean, crosses the front of the hock, with a large bursa located underneath this tendon. Because it is complicated, if your horse has a hock pain injury, you need to work with your veterinarian and/or your trainer to alleviate the problem. But, most hock pain problems can benefit from a cooling boot. Our refreezable Cold Therapy Wrap Bandage gives the right amount of tender and loving care that your horse can use in its time of need. Our Cold Therapy Wrap Bandage can also double as a warming wrap for horses with hock stiffness. It is lightweight, it stays in place without other support, and the price is right. |
