SAVE YOUR SUSPENSORY:
THE COURSE
Everything you need to know to heal and prevent
this very common and seriously debilitating injury.
Whether you work on horses doing bodywork or you own a horse, this course is for you.
Back in the Day
When I (Dr. Renee Tucker) was in vet school, we were taught suspensory injuries were common. They were a normal part of riding. No one talked about why they were so common, and what might be done to prevent it. Basically the rider was blamed.
An unsolved mystery
Yet if you look at the entire horse (not just the lower leg)... every horse with suspensory ligament injury has the same skeletal imbalances. And those can be fixed. When imbalances are fixed, suspensory injuries go away.
20 Years Later
It's about time we figure this out. Suspensory injuries do not have to happen. Non-healing or recurrent suspensory injuries can be fixed.
"Many horse owners are shocked to hear suspensory injuries are 100% preventable."*
Renee Tucker, DVM
Hi, I'm Renee, seasoned equine vet and holistic bodyworker. It's been a passion of mine to heal the horses of the world and I want you to be able to heal your own.
I'm teaching you my secrets I've learned that you won't hear from anyone else. This info is not taught in vet school.
Because my undergraduate degree is in bioengineering, I was able to analyze suspensory injuries to figure out their real cause.
I hope to share my discoveries with you so we can stop these injuries entirely.
The Three Myths of Suspensory Injuries
Myth #1
The suspensory ligament itself is the cause of suspensory injury. FALSE!
Of course when we see a lame horse with heat and swelling by the suspensory ligament, there is a suspensory injury. But the cause of that injury is NOT* the suspensory ligament.
Myth #2
Chronic overuse is the main cause of suspensory injury. FALSE!
It is not the fault of the rider, or the type of riding, or the amount of riding, or the difficulty of riding, or anything else. The cause of suspensory injury is unrelated to overuse.
Myth #3
Medical treatments and rest are all that is needed to heal suspensory ligaments. FALSE!
If the underlying cause of suspensory injuries are not treated, the horse will continue to "micro-tear" at his or her suspensory. Resulting in another injury, or never healing fully in the first place.
The Real Costs of Suspensory Injury
Average total cost in the western U.S. = $12,224.00
😔
Muscle Deterioration
Anyone who has been injured knows your muscles get weak from "resting." When it's time to get back to work, muscle strength is gone and has to gradually be worked back up.
💲💲💲
Vet Bills
A lot! Including but not limited to ultrasounds, exam fees, trip fees, x-rays, MRIs, injections, stem cell therapy, PRP therapy, anti-inflammatories, bandage wraps, and more.
😫
Training Loss
After six months without training, you lose your mojo. Training restarts from the beginning. It can come back quickly. Hopefully you haven't had to pay for training while your horse was off.
😟
Worry
"Is my horse in pain?" "Will he heal fully?" "What else can I do?" "What will I do if we can't ride like we used to?" The worry is the worst. It doesn't stop for months.
💊
Medications
Anti-inflammatories such as bute and banamine. They may be necessary but they also harm the kidneys, liver, and intestinal tract.
🏋️
Rehab
And how exactly do you quietly walk a horse that's been confined for months without using sedation? Can you pay someone to do the hand-walking? What is your time worth?
😢
Confinement
What a nightmare for a horse. And how guilty we feel when our horse has to stay in the stall for weeks and weeks. It's not our fault but it's still awful.
🥺
No Riding
Of course our horse's health and comfort comes first. But still, riding is part of connecting with our horse. You can't believe how much you miss it.

"Hi Dr. Renee
Laura Cohen in Toledo. We just bought your eclass, OMG it is amazing that the stay apparatus is the cause of suspensory injuries. Great sleuthing. Bob and I are building a lay up rehab facility at our place here in Toledo. Bob has been a barefoot trimmer for many years now and has quite a following. We have taken many clinics to improve our healing skills with the horses. We both want to take all your classes. You are an amazing healer and we have always admired your subtle and gentle methods which produce results. Love the videos, so informative and your voice is very soothing and enjoy your sense of humor.
Just wanted to gush about this!
Thank you and looking forward to more of you!
Laura

"I've lived and travelled all over the US. Dr. Tucker is by far the best alignment specialist I've ever met. We do hunters and jumpers and none of our horses had suspensory injuries thanks to her caring. We did have some horses we purchased with previous suspensory tears. Dr. Tucker was able to get those horses back up to par, too. If you can't get Dr. Tucker, get her Suspensory course!"
-Julia K.
"Online courses are new to me, but I really needed my roping horse fixed. No other vets were helpful, just wanted to inject, you know. Her course gave me everything I needed to keep him sound. Very pleased."
-John M.
