Directions
Apply just enough Racehorse Strength Equi-Block to cover the affected area evenly by hand. Apply to both sides of a joint where applicable (i.e. if applying to hock rub into front, sides and back of hock). This gives maximum pain relieving results as nerve endings can pick up pain signals from several different angles. Always slick the hair down in its natural direction. Remove any excess. Do not wrap the area, as this will most likely cause unnecessary discomfort for your animal. Do not apply more than 3 to 4 times daily.
During the initial application of Racehorse Strength Equi-Block, pain relief will generally last from 3 to 5 hours depending on the nature of your horse's condition. If you use Equi-Block on a regular basis, the length of time the pain relief lasts will gradually increase with each subsequent application. The amount of Equi-Block required to maintain pain relief will also decrease as Substance P is depleted from the nerve endings. In other words, the more often Equi-Block is used the less product you have to use and the longer the pain relief lasts. We suggest three applications daily through the recovery process.
Equi-Block will begin to actively work within 30 seconds. Yes, it works that fast! This does not mean that your animal is cured of the lameness by any means. Racehorse Strength Equi-Block simply and effectively takes away pain, which in turn greatly increases recovery time without the use of drugs.
Warning
This product can literally block pain completely. Do not use on a horse that is to race, train, perform, etc. if your animal has just sustained a serious sprain, strain or soft tissue injury. Rest and ice are still the best remedies. Not only does this show compassion for the horse, but it will also prolong its racing or performing career if allowed sufficient recovery time for the injury to heal properly. If you have any doubts about the healing of any injury, contact your Veterinarian.
In some instances, Equi-Block may get hot, continue to apply daily and this sensation will diminish with each subsequent application. Please use this product with care. For external use only. Do not apply to open wounds, cuts or abrasions. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. If Equi-Block gets in the eyes, flush thoroughly with water. Do not bandage. Do not apply to unaffected areas. Discontinue use if excessive irritation occurs. Do not use other than directed. If condition worsens, discontinue use and consult a Veterinarian. Wash your hands thoroughly after each application or use gloves to apply. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children.
Racing and Performance Tips
Many trainers put Racehorse Strength Equi-Block on their animals from the knees/fetlocks down, approximately 1 to 2 hours before a race or performance. We generally recommend applying Equi-Block two hours prior to performance as this usually allows Equi-Block to be working at its maximum while allowing the horse to warm up with a diminished level of pain, thus boosting the horse's confidence prior to actual performance. Do not try Equi-Block on your horse before a performance or race if you have never used it before. Let your horse get used to it first during practice runs or workouts.
When you use Equi-Block as a performance enhancer, it eliminates distracting pain. This enables your animal to stay focused and use all its energy toward the objective of winning. Equi-Block works in conjunction with the sweat glands, the harder the workout the more active the Capsaicin absorption and it's pain relieving qualities.
