“Post Surgical” or “Hernia” Belt is designed to give your horse the support he needs to elicit a more rapid and complete recovery. Such a comfort to a horse with either a colic surgery or a hernia!

My yearling filly had colic surgery, got a post op incision infection resulting in three large hernias. She also came home from the hospital with a pressure ulcer on her withers that went down to the bone. After almost losing her a couple times during the four month recovery period, I had become very attached to this sweet thoroughbred. I took her for a surgical consult for the hernia and was told that she had an opening in her belly wall the size of a soup can, was not a surgical candidate and would eventually have to be put down. My wonderful vet worked with New Bolton Center and they recommended your product. We watched the video and , with tranquilizers at the ready, just in case we needed them, we put the belt on this unbroken yearling. She never moved a muscle. We had to teach her to lounge so we could complete the program-- because of the pressure ulcer problem, we had to make adjustments to your back pad to keep pressure off of this area. We made substantial progress in the first six weeks. As you can see from the photos the improvement was amazing. Because the opening in her abdominal wall wasn't closed we had to continue the program for a few more weeks. That Fall, she showed in Hunter Breeding Yearling Conformation and won top Pennsylvania yearling thoroughbred and Reserve Best Young Horse. She is now a three year old going under saddle. She has had not further complications and has kept her wonderful sweet personality. I am so grateful that we tried this belt-- it seemed like a real Hail Mary pass, but it worked for our filly, Wissie's Promise! Thank you so much!
