How does the Tape work? 🎗️🩹✂️

Kinesiology tape is used for a variety of cases, some of the reasons for applying it to your horses include lymphatic drainage, pain relief, muscle and joint support, injury rehab and even proprioception. It is an effective way of providing support to your horse long after we leave and its design allows your horse to move without restriction.

A recent study proved that taping significantly reduced lumbar pain in horses (link below if you’re interested).

CANBERRA & SURROUNDS❗️

It can be quite stressful as a horse owner in our local area as we continue to suffer from the veterinary shortage, but we want it known that we are here to help when we can. We by no means can replace a veterinarian or their treatment, but we can however offer first aid in emergency situations when a vet is unavailable or work closely with veterinarians or under directions to help your horse however we can.

We are experienced Vet Nurses but are limited & cannot perform:

❌ Nasogastric Tubing for chokes & colics
❌ Minor & Major wound Stitch ups
❌ Surgery
❌ Prescribe or administer (IV sedation etc) any scheduled S4 medications unless prescribed by your veterinarian
❌ Radiographs or Ultrasounds
❌ Diagnosis

We’re here to help 🫶🏼

A great opportunity for horse owners in the Canberra district, as we continue to lose more local vets in the veterinary shortage crisis it’s important to know what to do and how to handle emergencies at home!

Proprioception 🦵🏼👁️👣

Proprioception is defined as perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body (Oxford Dictionary). It is your body’s ability to sense movement and location.

Why is it important for horses?
Horses with adequate proprioception feel safe and more confident in themselves and in their environment because they can move their body away from a threat quickly. Horses with poor proprioception often stand on your feet, run in to you accidentally, feel uncomfortable walking on new surfaces, trip over a lot even on flat ground and are often injury prone. If you would like to know more or how to improve your horses proprioception send us a message.
