What tips do we have here at Equinics for a horse with a bog spavin?
The treatment of bog spavin can be done in various ways. A "fresh" one is best cooled cold and then rub in with an ointment that has an anti -inflammatory effect.
Massage/rub in Arnica can also have a good effect!
Finally, you can support the treatment with a therapeutic product that stimulates blood circulation. The Incrediwear Hock Boot or a BOT hock protector are the best choice.
The Incrediwear cools and stimulates blood circulation, the BOT one reflects body heat and thus stimulates blood circulation.
If there is still a lot of swelling we would choose the IncrediWear Hock Boot ourselves, if the injury is a bit older and without much swelling- then we would rather choose the warmer BOT (Ceramic therapy)boot.

Psst .. one more thing: always ask your vet for advice if your horse has an injury and before choosing a treatment.
Remember: This info blog is based on our (the people behind Equinics) personal experience, both in terms of the problems, products, therapies and gadgets that are discussed, but also in terms of our horse experience in general. 😃 We would like to emphasize that we think you should always ask your vet for advice if your horse needs help.😊
