Cone Hata (a 1,200 pound thoroughbred injured going out of the gate), and On the Lawn (winner by six lengths during his maiden race and subsequently injured during training), both received severe non-union sesamoid fractures. With no known conventional treatment available, both animals were put out to pasture as recommended by the attending veterinarian. After 18 months Cone Hata and On the Lawn were again x-rayed--no healing had occurred. The horses then began a daily schedule of Rapid Response®. During the following four and one half months 100% healing took place in both horses. The breeder and trainers were astonished by the unprecedented recoveries as they returned both horses to a daily training schedule.

Every case study, wherein Rapid Response was utilized on a horse with a non-union or union sesamoid break, offered the same unprecedented results. The sooner Rapid Response is used following the injury, the faster the results. Never any site complications occur with the use of Rapid Response.

Montclair, a retired race horse stud, got caught up in a metal feeder sustaining a compound fracture of the lower jaw. Swelling and abscess occurred during the week prior to diagnosis. The attending vet performed surgery and wired the mandible. Immediately following surgery Rapid Response was introduced into the diet. Within three days Montclair was eating again without distress, and within 90 days final x-rays were taken indicating that 100% healing had occurred.

Super Strike incurred a non-displaced condular fracture that extended into the ankle joint during a training workout at Hollywood race track. The horse remained untreated for one month. Rapid Response was then introduced as recommended by the attending vet. X-rays indicated complete recovery within 90 days. After three years, 100% flexing of the ankle remains and the joint is clear.

Nick the Barber became the first research animal for Rapid Response when his race related fracture was judged by veterinarians, using traditional parameters, as career ending. The injury sustained was a non-union fracture of the proximal 3rd metatarsal bone of the left hind hock. Within 45 days of utilizing Rapid Response, Nick the Barber was diagnosed as fit for a return to training. After proper conditioning, he soundly finished his first race which ran just 2/5 of a second behind the track record.

Expensit suffered two torn (inside and out) suspensory ligaments and a ruptured tendon. The injury remained for several months visibly expanding the width of the right front leg by about 1/2 inch on either side. After 90 days of supplementing the diet with Rapid Response, the leg size had returned to normal. The injury was confirmed by the attending vet using ultra sound to be 100% healed. Unprecedented, the horse was returned to training.

Boston Keeno, a 7-year-old Quarter Horse, was diagnosed with lower ringbone, a bone spur at the ringbone site and bone spavins of the hocks. The veterinarian advised that the ringbone could possibly be slowed down but could not be cured. After 90 days of internal and external treatment with Rapid Response, Keeno was pronounced HEALED! NO MORE RINGBONE, no bone spur or bone spavins. Keeno remains healthy and sound and is currently in Dressage training. For Ringbone Questions Contact Debra Kahn at: debrakahn@qwest.net
