Horse Sling Restraints

Habitat for Horses, www.habitatforhorses.org has a sling and has a horse in it right now. He seems unable to coordinate his back end and when he goes down to sleep or roll he can't get back up. This horse belongs to someone else and we are trying to help the vet help the horse. We hope for a good outcome but time will tell. The horse is fantastic and everyone has fallen for him - he's a good boy. If whatever ails him can be determined this sling will be what gave him the time needed for the vet to make the diagnosis. It would be great if all vets, equine hospitals and large barns had one of these.

Pros: Can save a horse's life

Cons: Can be a challenge to get a horse in

A sling is a *must for a horse rescue. Horses come in and/or develop many conditions that need to have all weight taken off the legs, hooves. Laminitis is one. Some are too weak to stand and need the sling. A sling is a lifesaver and gives such relief to the horse.

Pros: A relief

Cons: None
