Barrel races are kicking off and weather is ramping up (so Is the pollen)! How are you preparing your athletes for success in the barrel pen?!
Itโs abour this Time of year that my facebook Is filled with lasix debates and eiph studies. If your horse is not performing it could be worth looking in to.
EIPH๐ฉธ
Exercise Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage is a common respiratory problem in performance horses. Especially in horses expected to sprint such as race horses and barrel horses.
EIPH occurs when there is too much pressure in the capillaries of the lung that causes them to burst. This increases a horses risk for upper respiratory infections. It also causes scarring that can further damage the horses respiratory health. Respiratory health is directly linked to cardiovascular health!
The truth is, most barrel horses will bleed at some point in their career even if you cannot see it. And in order for our horses to perform at the top of their ability they need to have good respiratory and cardiovascular health!
The good news is that Triple 777 Ranch is equipped to help horses with EIPH!
The salt room decreases inflammation, as well as promotes soothing and quick healing of the horses lung! And the better they feel the better they work! It also has antibacterial properties to help reduce EIPH associated upper respiratory infections.
