Anyone Tape their Horse's Back?

[Fiesta01]

I don’t have experience with taping horses either. However, I have used KT for my rotator cuff problems. I went 6 months after I first injured my shoulder with constant pain. With rest and then using KT while I slowly regained function, I feel like it really made a difference.

Now, any time I’ve lifted something heavy or reached my arm wrong (like reaching to grab something from my back seat), I use the KT for a few days to “re-stabilize” and rest it.

I’ll admit, though, that after 3 years, I still can’t sleep on that shoulder without discomfort.

FWIW, more than one reputable body workers (including the one who works consistently on my horse) have warned me against massage guns. They can do a lot of damage. IME, money would be better spent on learning some basic equine massage/stretches for owners (there are some great books!).
