How to use
The routine is the product. Follow it exactly and let the ultrasounds tell the story.
Original Topical Poultice
- Clean and dry the leg. No other products, no DMSO, no iodine.
- Apply a generous, even layer over the area.
- Cover with a cotton quilt or paper towel, plastic wrap, then a standing or polo wrap. Tear the plastic a little at the top and bottom so it never tightens.
- Leave on 12 hours (up to 24 if the skin is not sensitive). Wash off and re-apply.
- Six days a week, one day off. Areas that cannot be wrapped: apply, leave up to 24 hours, wash, re-apply.
Topical Hoof & Leg Soak
- Mix the powder into a bucket or soaking boot of warm water, as hot as the horse comfortably accepts.
- Soak the leg to just above the area, higher if possible, for the time on the label. Keep the water warm.
- Dry and wrap with a standing wrap.
- Once a day (twice is better), six days a week, one day off.
- No special equipment needed: customers use a coffee maker for hot water and a tall bucket.
Protocols
What our customers typically report over 30 years. Every horse is different; your veterinarian's ultrasound is the judge.
The recovery routine
- Have your veterinarian ultrasound the leg to assess the injury. This is also the baseline for the guarantee.
- Ice and your vet's anti-inflammatory plan for the first 48 hours.
- Start Runner's Relief 48 hours after a new injury. For an old injury, start right away.
- Stall rest 2-3 weeks minimum. No hand-walking or turnout at first; ask your vet.
- Follow-up ultrasound at 30-60 days. Your vet decides when round-pen work can start while the routine continues.
- Final ultrasound at 90 days.
