The first line of defence to treat and prevent swollen legs after training or competition is to apply a cooling poultice as soon as possible. A good quality poultice will quickly relieve leg soreness and swelling allowing a faster recovery, so your horse can get back to training or competing.
SwellDOWN is Australia’s original clay poultice, used by top trainers and competitors for many years. Always a top-seller, SwellDOWN’s combination of wet montmorillonite clay, essential oils and minerals have a cooling effect on the skin. Heat produced by exercise or injury is drawn out at a rapid rate, limiting hypoxic damage and reducing the degree of oedema and muscle damage aiding recovery.
This unique formula stays moist for longer, prolonging SwellDOWN’s effectiveness, reducing pain and swelling. After the poultice is applied, wrapping the leg with plastic or paper can also improve SwellDOWN’s effects.
