Not sure where to post this exactly.

Have a GREAT working TENS Machine. I used it for my stud and if used religiously and correctly it WORKS!! He healed completely.

For those that do not know what this is. It is a machine used for healing and repairing bowed tendons mostly.


Asking $120 with shipping.

I have one also but got mine from medicare after I was rear ended..

mine is usefull in releaving stiff cramped muscle but can't claim the same success you had with your stallion

Did your stallion make it back to the track?/

He made it back to training with in a few months but never raced due to trainer issues.

This machine I have I bought from a horse web site, comes with a video as well.

I have a 4 YO colt recovering from a tendon tear and will be ready to start jogging in a week or so..

Did you stallion have any problem accepting the TEMS treatment??

Personally, I enjoy my time on the machine but did overdue it once and puched a hole in my neck.. That was at a setting of 45 and I now use it between settings of 15 and 20..

that was one time when more was not better.

Lastely, how did you get the TEMS pads to stick to the horse's leg??

I got the machine from a Bowed Tendon web site for horses and when it came it included a video and how to use it. They recommend to shave the areas and use electrical tape. I also used vet wrap. I put a stable blanket on him and attached the machine to it, as it comes with a clip, tied him with his head low enough and filled a wheel barrow full of hay. Sometimes I would put him in the cross ties with it on.

I did not have any issues with over use and there was one time it pulsed a little high on one area and adjusted it and he took it fine.
