Racing

Only winners count for something, no one remembers who came second.

In flat racing, horses are not so prone to tendon injuries, but suffer more with joint problems, particularly in the younger and under-developed two and three year olds.

Join problems often result in lameness and preventative chiropractic treatment is beneficial to prevent its onset.

These horses usually suffer injuries relating to…

• Falls over fences, in the stalls or on the flat

• Half-falls while jumping or slipping

• Coming out of the stalls at speed at the beginning of a race

• Ill fitting saddles
  
  Often in the racing industry a saddle is used on several different horses ridden out by one jockey, so it is not specifically fitted to one horse. This can lead to saddle rubs and pressure points on some horses causing them to work with a hollow back, and leading to back pain.

• Riding with short stirrups
