A: NO! Equi-Block will absolutely not test positive under any conditions.

Q: How is it that Racehorse Strength Equi-Block speeds up the recovery process so fast?

A: Pain hinders the recovery from an injury by restricting the range of motion. For example: The frog of a horse's hoof pumps blood, if the hoof is not getting its full pressure (by the horse favoring it) the circulation of that limb is decreased and the healing properties of good circulation is taken away. Equi-Block increases your horse's range of motion by eliminating the pain which increases the circulation, reduces the swelling and allows your animal better rest.

Q: If my horse has just bowed a tendon, or pulled a suspensory ligament, can I continue training if I use Racehorse Strength Equi-Block?

A: If it is an old injury that is "set" but which still causes some pain for the horse, Equi-Block can be used to alleviate this type of pain. However, as in all sports injuries, if your horse has just sustained or is recovering from a soft tissue injury, DO NOT keep your horse in training or racing with the use of Equi-Block. Rest and ice are still the best remedies. Not only does this show compassion for the horse, but it will also prolong your animal's racing or performing career if allowed sufficient recovery time for the injury to heal properly. All too often horses are put back on a rigorous training schedule before the injury is healed enough to make a successful comeback. Again, if you have any concerns about the healing time of any injury, consult your Veterinarian.

SUPER STRENGTH EQUI-TITE LINIMENT: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are there any side effects with Super Strength Equi-Tite Liniment?

A: There have been no adverse side effects with Super Strength Equi-Tite, just very tight legs!

Q: Should I apply Equi-Tite by hand or with a brush?

A: We prefer that you use your hands to apply Equi-Tite. The reason is, we feel that a brush prevents the close contact of "hand against tendon", which is extremely important in the daily care of your horse's legs. Most top trainers in the world will tell you that rubbing a horses legs are one of the best things you can do for your horse. It not only helps to stimulate circulation and blood flow, it also allows a regular and professional caretaker to detect even the subtlest changes and differences in the leg. This immediate detection can often be the difference in preventing a small problem from becoming a bigger problem.

Q: My horse gets irritable or sour when hauled for any extended length of time, what do you recommend?

A: It is hard work for a horse to be hauled in a "rocking metal box". It is uncomfortable for your horse due to the lack of circulation from standing and stressing the leg muscles and tendons.

We suggest applying a liberal amount of Super Strength Equi-Tite to the legs one hour before the trip. This will help maintain optimal circulation. If the haul is longer than four hours, you may want to stop to walk your horse halfway through the trip and apply more Tite. This will give both you and your horse a chance to "shake it out" and make your trip more pleasant.

Q: Will Equi-Tite work on a Bowed Tendon?

A: Yes, Super Strength Equi-Tite Liniment will alleviate the pain, inflammation and soreness associated with a "bow". The best way to use Equi-Tite on a "bow" is to apply it liberally to the entire tendon area, rub in thoroughly and bandage in a "plastic wrap" or "sweat". Horses with bowed tendons should be "iced" or "cold watered" daily and kept bandaged at all times in between. They should also be raced, trained or worked in Brace Bandages for extra support. Bowed tendons are difficult injuries to come back from. It is highly recommended to rest the horse completely and apply ice to the injury until the swelling has subsided and consult your Veterinarian.

Q: What is the success of Equi-Tite on Suspensory or Check Ligament problems?

A: Outstanding! Again, the inflammation and pain reducing qualities in Equi-Tite will help reduce swelling and soreness dramatically. As in Bowed Tendons, Equi-Tite should be "sweated" on these types of problems as well. The "sweat" helps Equi-Tite to penetrate deeper and increases its therapeutic results and benefits as well as stimulating blood flow to aid in the healing and tightening of suspensory or check ligament problems.

Q: Should I contact my Veterinarian before using your products?

A: Although it is not necessary in order to use any of our products as recommended in the Pain Reduction Program successfully, we strongly urge people to contact their Veterinarian if they encounter difficulties.
