WELLINGTON EQUESTRIAN // FEBRUARY-MARCH
HEALING A 24 YEAR
OLD HORSE
TACKLING A SEVERE, 75%
TEAR OF A LIGAMENT
IN AN OLD HORSE IS
A TOUGH ASSIGN-
MENT
Angel knew they were
going to have problems
when Moriah wasn’t
responding to any treatments.
Moriah had stumbled out in the field
and her right front leg resembled a fat sausage. “She
was really hurting, and lets face it, at 24 years old,
they don’t heal too quickly if at all,” Angel said.
After exhausting her options, Angel decided to
try Cytowave and see if it could at least help get
the swelling down. She’d hear how severe tears
that took months to heal were now being closed in
as little as two months with Cytowave. All she was
looking for was getting the swelling reduced and
providing enough mobility to get Moriah back out
in the field.
Angel began Cytowave treatments, starting
with the 30 minute inflammation program, and
working her way up to the hour long tendon/ligament
program. After six weeks, she was really disheartened.
The swelling wasn’t receding and she
began to think that Moriah would never heal.
Angel spoke with the company’s sales director
who encouraged her to keep trying. She also spoke
with the inventor, Richard Parker, who also suggest-
“THIS WAS ONE OF THE
WORST TEARS THAT WE’D
EVER SEEN.”
Richard said, “You’ve got to remember that the state of
health of an animal plays a big role in how quickly they will
heal. Just like with humans.” Angel decided to keep treating
Moriah with Cytowave to the exclusion of any other
modalities.
Finally, at around thirteen weeks, the swelling suddenly
began to subside. “We were so thrilled and Moriah
was feeling so much better.” After a few more treatments,
Moriah began to walk out in the pasture and gradually got
her life back. “This was probabaly one of the most stubborn
and severe injuries that we’d ever had to deal with,”
said Tina Browne, the GM at Cytowave. “Fortunately Angel
stuck with it and had confidence in the technology. “
