Quentin<br />

Judge<br />

Quentin Judge has been a top competitor in<br />

the equestrian world and has seen a lot of<br />

products come and go.<br />

“HE WAS THE ONE THAT LED US TO CYTOWAVE.”<br />

Quentin Judge is passionate<br />

about his horses and<br />

competition. He understands<br />

the value of<br />

not only healing horses,<br />

but in preventing injuries. We had a<br />

chance to catch up with him and get his<br />

thoughts on Cytowave. Quentin was<br />

introduced to Cytowave by Dr. Tim Ober,<br />

who believed that Double H farm could<br />

benefit from the technology. All sport<br />

horses develop aches and pains just like<br />

any athlete does. “We have horses that<br />

have, as many sport horses do, soft tissue<br />

injuries, little strains, back soreness,<br />

hock soreness, bone edema, things like<br />

that and we found that Cytowave is really<br />

helpful for all those issues,” Quentin<br />

said. Double H Farm originally used Cytowave<br />

for a specific injury but found that,<br />

as they used it on horses, whether they<br />

were injured or not, the horses responded<br />

p o s i ti ve l y. It ’s b e e n a m a i n s t a y e ve r s i n c e .<br />

“We were originally interested in Cytowave<br />

for one horse that we had, a<br />

horse that had severe tendonitis in his<br />

right front tendon. And Dr. Ober thought<br />

it would really help him. That was when<br />

we first started, just with that one horse.<br />

But as we got going with it, and had differ-<br />

“One of my<br />

favorite things<br />

about the machine is<br />

that you can tailor it to<br />

ent experiences any horse with that you have.”<br />

.other horses and different issues, we really<br />

found that we could use it for not only repairing<br />

injuries and preventive but for maintenance for<br />

all our horses,” Quentin added.<br />

As time passed, they found they<br />

were treating less injuries and<br />

that the focus had become more<br />

preventive and maintenance.<br />
