Trotter Lameness With a Tendon Hole

A trotter went lame, was scanned, and a hole in his tendon was found. The vet said he had to be turned out for 6-9 months. As he was 9 years old and his elderly trainer had only planned on one more season with him, he lamented that he would have to call it quits on him. I urged him to use the Bioptron. After 10 days and 5 treatments, the horse was sound. Re-scanned - the hole had closed. He's still racing two years on... always finishing at least in the middle of the field and earning enough to encourage his owner to keep him going.
