Managing Elderly Horses: The Exceptional Benefits of Incorporating MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ by Draw it Out®


 Introduction


As caretakers of equine health, we are entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that our elderly horses enjoy a fulfilling and vibrant life in their golden years. Aging horses present unique challenges due to physiological changes and potential health issues that accompany old age. However, with proper care and the help of innovative equine health products like MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ by Draw it Out®, we can enhance the well-being of our aging equine companions, providing them with the care they need to thrive.


 Geriatric Horses: Challenges and Care


Geriatric horses, typically those aged 20 and above, require special attention and tailored care to address the issues they may face in their later years. These challenges can include arthritis, dental problems, Cushing's disease, and declining body condition. Understanding and addressing these challenges are crucial for providing the best possible care for elderly horses.


 Dental Care


Maintaining good dental health is vital for elderly horses. As horses age, they may experience tooth loss, abnormal wear, or dental diseases that can affect their ability to chew and digest feed properly. Regular dental check-ups, at least annually or biannually, are essential to identify and address any dental issues promptly. A skilled equine dentist can perform routine dental exams, including teeth floating and addressing any dental abnormalities, ensuring that the horse's oral health is maintained.


 Nutritional Needs


The nutritional requirements of aging horses change as their metabolism and digestive efficiency undergo alterations. They may require adjustments in their diet to meet their changing needs. Providing high-quality forage and considering the addition of senior feeds or dietary supplements can help meet their nutritional requirements. Regular monitoring of body condition and weight is crucial to ensure they maintain a healthy weight and receive the appropriate nutrition.


It is essential to work closely with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist to develop a customized feeding plan for the aging horse. Factors such as dental health, body condition, and any underlying medical conditions must be taken into account when formulating the diet.


 Exercise and Arthritis


Regular exercise is beneficial for maintaining mobility, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being in older horses. However, arthritis, a common condition among aging horses, can limit their physical activity and impact their quality of life. It is important to strike a balance between providing enough exercise to keep the horse healthy and mobile while avoiding overexertion that could worsen arthritis symptoms.


Low-impact exercise, such as gentle riding or hand walking, can help keep the horse moving without putting excessive strain on the joints. Providing a safe and comfortable environment for exercise, such as a well-maintained pasture or an appropriate exercise area, is crucial for managing arthritis and ensuring the horse's overall well-being.


In addition to exercise, other measures can be taken to manage arthritis in elderly horses. This can include the use of joint supplements, such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, as recommended by a veterinarian. These supplements can help support joint health and reduce inflammation, providing relief from arthritis symptoms.


 Introducing MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ by Draw it Out®


MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ by Draw it Out® is an innovative product that provides targeted support for elderly horses. This brace, formulated with the exceptional properties of Manuka honey, offers a natural and effective solution for equine joint care and muscular support. The unique qualities of Manuka honey make it a valuable ingredient in promoting the well-being of aging horses.


 Pain Management


One of the primary advantages of MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ is its holistic approach to managing pain and discomfort in aging horses. The use of Manuka honey in the brace provides natural anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce joint inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve mobility. Manuka honey contains active compounds, including methylglyoxal (MGO), which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects.


In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, Manuka honey also has antimicrobial properties that can help prevent infections and promote wound healing. This is particularly beneficial for elderly horses who may have compromised immune systems or be prone to skin irritations or wounds.


By utilizing this non-invasive, drug-free alternative, horse owners can minimize reliance on long-term pharmaceuticals and their potential side effects. The natural properties of Manuka honey make it a safe and effective option for pain management in elderly horses, providing relief without the risks associated with long-term medication use.


 Muscular Support and Injury Prevention


As horses age, their muscle tone may decline, increasing the risk of injuries. MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ with Manuka honey supports and nourishes aging muscles, helping to maintain strength and flexibility. The brace can be applied to specific areas, providing localized support and promoting healing and recovery.


Manuka honey has been recognized for its wound-healing properties and its ability to support tissue regeneration. It creates a favorable environment for the growth of new cells and the formation of healthy scar tissue. When applied topically, the brace helps facilitate the healing of muscle injuries and supports overall musculoskeletal health.


The use of MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ can also help prevent injuries by providing support to the muscles and reducing the risk of strain or sprain. By maintaining healthy muscle function, elderly horses are better equipped to navigate their daily activities and engage in gentle exercise without undue stress on their bodies.


 Easy Application


MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ is designed for ease of application. The user-friendly nature of the product allows for convenient use on the affected areas of the horse. Simply apply the brace with Manuka honey to the desired area and allow it to dry. This simplicity ensures that horse owners can efficiently manage their time while providing optimal care for their aging equine companions.


The easy application process also promotes compliance, as horse owners can easily incorporate the use of the brace into their daily care routine. The convenience of MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ means that it can be used regularly and consistently, maximizing its benefits for the horse.
