The original injuries had occurred some nine years previously and euthanasia had been recommended at the time. Homeopathy and magnotherapy boots had improved the quality of life to the stage where the mare could walk soundly in the field to eat, but was not in work.<br /> Treatment using Scenar was applied to the damaged tendon areas of both legs; five sessions on the worst effected leg, and four sessions on the better leg. Three sessions (both legs) were carried out in the first week and then weekly thereafter.<br /> The physical size of the tendons improved during treatment and was maintained, although still not the normal size. After the second session, the mare was seen galloping round her field, was generally more interested in life and was re-establishing herself as head of the group of horses in the field "as if she was 15 years old again". Twenty months on, both legs are holding up well and the mare has been back in work every day over the summer with no ill effects. Interestingly, during the course of the treatment, a corneal opacity which had been established for some months also disappeared. </p>
