Just wondering if anybody has any experience with the Back-On-Track stuff? My mare has recently developed a stiff hock (got the vet in - conformation issues), & wondering if their hock boots would help/work?
Thanks!

Has anyone ultrasounded his hind suspensories? Suspensory problems can mimic hock problems and frequently appear improved after hock injections.
