Back on Track Equine Use
In addition to treating injuries, Back on Track Equine products are often used to prevent them.
If used routinely as a preventative measure, they should be applied for 2 to 3 weeks followed by a one week break. Another alternative is to apply them 1 to 2 days before training or performing, and for 2 days afterwards. A short break is then recommended before repeating the cycle. Even if restricted to a few hours use before and after training, Back on Track equine products can still help reduce the likelihood of injury.
Four Star Brand carries most of the equestrian line of Back on Track products.

Image #1 & #2 are before pictures prior to using our blankets. Pictures #3 & #4 above are taken 2 weeks after using our blankets. The red seen in the pictures above reflect inflammation. The images above show an 11 year-old Irish Sport Horse used for eventing that presented with severe back pain. The first images show increased heat over the dorsal spinous processes of the back in the thoracolumbar area as well as over the right gluteal muscle area. These thermographic images show remarkable improvement after 2 weeks of using the Back on Track Blanket.
