TROUBLES, By Dr. Steve Fisch Ligament LOSSES

Tendons and ligaments are the connections that Those injuries cause lost performance time and are a major hold bones in place and allow the muscles to create propul- source of economic loss in training days, veterinary bills and sion to move the horse.

Collagen allows tendons and ligaments to speeds, using repetitive motions as he cuts a cow from the herd. stretch and gives them their strength. Tendons and ligaments T KELLEY FISCH Dr. Steve Fisch ultrasounds the left hind for ligament damage. are similar in structure but tendons are generally more flexible and have more stretching capability.

Prevention harder, firmer surfaces put more stress on joints and bones, but softer and more yielding surfaces put more stress on tendons and ligaments. Therefore, a balance between too soft and too hard must be found. Racing Quarter Horses perform on many types of track surfaces around the country. Some tracks, such as those that also race Standardbreds, might have surfaces that are far too hard. Those tracks might result in very fast speeds, but those extremely hard surfaces probably also result in too many bone and joint injuries. On the other hand, breaking from the starting gate or racing on loose or sandy surfaces can cause problems because of the need for traction when breaking or racing at high speeds. Loose footing lends itself to causing forelimb flexor tendon injuries, along with muscle strains, back soreness and suspensory ligament injuries. Arena surfaces are also safer when the proper balance between soft and hard is found. It might seem safer for a barrel horse to compete in a deeper arena, but the looser footing can cause the horse to stretch and tear tendons and ligaments as it fights for traction or attempts to drive home with a burst of speed after the last barrel. Along with providing the proper surfaces for the equine athlete, prevention of tendon and ligament injuries begins at foaling. It is Proper shoeing that avoids additional stress on the tendons important for babies to have the ability to run and play on and ligaments is also an important aspect of prevention.

The larger the tear, the Dr. Joe Fisch wraps a leg to more fluid will fill the defect and the greater the “black hole” support it while it is healing. appears on screen. Generally, the larger the black hole, the worse the prognosis. Alternatively, some injuries will appear as a thickening of the ligament or tendon and will appear whiter on the ultrasound. A more accurate diagnosis will be made if all the edema and inflammatory fluid is removed from the area to be ultrasounded. If the injury is ultrasounded immediately post injury, it might appear worse than it actually is. The fluid surrounding the injury can errone- ously appear as a lesion in the tendon or ligament. Therefore, the initial treatment protocol in an injury with obvious swelling and heat is also important in the diagnosis and prognosis. Immediate anti-inflammatory therapy including nonsteroi- dal anti-inflammatory drugs, cold therapy and support wraps will reduce the inflammatory fluid in the area of injury and allow for a more accurate ultrasonographic diagnosis. The ultrasound diagnosis is usually designated as Type 1 through Type 4. The definitions are:

• Type 1 includes a tendon or ligament enlargement with only minimal fiber pattern disruption and minor inflammatory fluid infiltration.

• Type 2 lesions have 50 percent or less of the area represented as “anechoic” or dark with fluid.

• Type 3 lesions have more than 50 percent of the cross-sec- tion area of the tendon or ligament as anechoic.

• Type 4 lesions have the worst prognosis by far and are totally anechoic. The black areas in Type 4 lesions indicate almost total fiber tearing.

MRI is an alternative to ultrasound for diagnosis, but there are some drawbacks to this. MRIs are significantly more expensive, and in most cases, the horse has to be under gen- eral anesthesia for the procedure. This makes MRI an unlike- ly first choice for diagnosis. If your horse seems to have an injured tendon or ligament, it is safest to have it seen by a veterinarian immediately. The longer it takes to clear the injured area of inflammatory products and harmful enzymes, the more damage results, which causes prolonged recovery time. Even if the swelling and lameness have subsided after a few days, the injury should still be examined by ultrasound to KELLEY FISCH evaluate the extent of the damage. Many times, with quick days.

ALL-TIME NOMINATOR AWARD MONEY In 1993, a total of 16,835 Quarter Horses made at least one HORSE OWNER NOMINATOR AWARD MONEY start, with 6,735 (40 percent) being 2-year-olds and 4,901 (29.1 percent) being 4-year-olds and up. Throughout the 1990s, the Tailor Fit Tailor Fit DNA Inc. $ 51,956 percentage of 4-year-old and up starters hovered at just under 30 Kool Kue Baby Ramiro Lopez $ 49,005 percent. But since 2000, that figure has never fallen below the This Snow Is Cold Los Ladrilleros Horse Racing Co. $ 44,690 30 percent mark and has steadily trended up with an average of Catchmeinyourdreams Kirk M Goodfellow $ 34,656 35.9 percent over the last three years. By contrast, the percentage SLM Snowman Lindsey Mitchell $ 33,574 of 2-year-old starters has fallen from around 40 percent in the WRS Special Shoe Williams Racing Stables Inc. $ 31,163 1990s to about 34 percent in recent years. Rylees Boy Gerardo Ochoa $ 28,329 “At the time this was done, with the exception of Los Alamitos, Heza Ramblin Man Walter Fletcher $ 26,105 there weren’t many good stakes races for older horses,” said Hare. LDS Dash For Dylan Donna King $ 26,054 “Since then, of course, more states have passed pari-mutuel and Policy Tacs Kenneth or Vicky Jo Elison $ 25,051 gaming and racinos, so it’s all taken another turn, but overall the Challenge is still driven by those original goals.” Clearly, the increased purses from slot machines, primarily at RACING CHALLENGE NOMINATOR – tracks in the Southwest; and the opening of major tracks in Texas ALL-TIME BY NOMINATOR AWARD MONEY throughout the 1990s; and the expansion of Quarter Horse racing CHALLENGE NOMINATOR NOMINATOR AWARDS in nontraditional states have also enhanced the opportunities for older horses, but it stands to reason that the Challenge played Jerry Windham $ 86,082 a big role in the national trend. Vessels Stallion Farm LLC $ 79,898 “At the start I don’t think the overall industry acceptance Walter Fletcher $ 46,061 of the Challenge was there because people wanted to see how Abigail K. Kawananakoa $ 45,035 it would develop, which is understandable,” said Owens. Steve and Lindsey Mitchell $ 36,402 “But now it seems like everyone has room in their stable for Tom L.
