Um, could you clarify "back sore"? I've never heard of the product but I may have some other ideas?

Untie is made by Abbey Road product and has a web site abbeyroadpresents.com. It is a regular advertiser in bothe the Blood horse and Thoroughbred Times magazines. The filly is sore when you run you hand over her loins and put a little pressure on, she is also walking a little short behind like it hurts her to step forward.

Okay, You've taken bloods to determin that she has actually tied up on you? Just checking....anyways, Vitamin E w/ Selenium is fantastic. It can be bought in a powder form from a company called Prime Performance (I think they're states based) And it's worked really well with our "stiffies".

Also, I'd give her a shot of Fenylbute/Arthridine/US equivalent?....just to alleviate the immediate pain.

Our "stiffies" are worked 7 days a week...even after races, and we NEVER trot them...trotting can exacerbate tying up...if for whatever reason your filly can't be worked on the track she should at least hack-canter (slow canter) in a ring.

I don't know if you have access to a magneto-pulse machine or Beamer...but this is also excellent!

Hope this is helpful....we don't get Untie here (south Africa)
