Bowed Tendon Study – Racehorse Owners

Following is an excerpt from a letter addressed to Mrs. Donna Patterson, Treasurer, SC Horsemen’s Council:

“At Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Medicine Health Services we are conducting research on superficial digital flexor injuries in racehorses in training.  If you are a racehorse trainer we need your help in further characterizing the occurrence of so-called “bowed-tendon” injuries. We have developed an online form used to document events surrounding any individual injury. Please take a moment to report an injury on our website at http://oktendon.com.  Any information you provide will be held in strictest confidence, and will not be made available, other than as an anonymous part of a final statistical report. An electronic copy of our findings will be sent to you upon completion of the study. Your participation is greatly appreciated.”
