Cable Boss Update

Cable Boss’ right front superficial digital flexor tendon was rescanned as a follow-up to examine the tendonitis that came from being cast in his stall. We’re happy to report that the results showed that there is much less inflammation and the area is quieter in appearance overall, but the tendon is still mildly enlarged. On the ultrasound, there was a mild diffuse decrease in echogenicity — or the ability to bounce an echo — which indicates that it is too early to resume normal training.

It is recommended by Dr. Charles Cantrell of Ocala Equine Hospital, who performed the diagnostics, that Cable Boss continue being turned out for 30 days along with the addition of tack walking to his routine. He will be rescanned in 30 days to determine if he is ready to resume normal training.
