About this program

Legs fill when the horse stands still — the lymph system has no pump of its own and relies on movement. A night in the stable or a long journey is often all it takes for both front legs to come up filled.

Consider this program when:

  • both front legs are filled after a night in
  • after long travel
  • during box rest, when movement is missing
  • legs improve with walking but fill again at rest

One treatment covers both front limbs; the hind limbs have their own page. A single hot, painful or suddenly swollen leg is a case for the vet, not a program.
