VAPCO Horse Tie-Up Prevention for Horses - GregRobert

GregRobert Pet Supplies is proud to carry popular brands of Horse Tie-Up Prevention including Tie-by, Tie-up and others.

Tying up (muscle tension/spasm) involves chronic tension in the horse's muscles due to overwork. When the muscles are active, they produce lactate as part of their normal metabolism. Too much lactate causes lactic acidosis, a lowering of the pH in the muscles and the body in general. This impacts the efficiency of metabolism, giving rise to fatigue. The excess lactate prevents the muscles from relaxing properly following contraction. As a result, large muscle groups tend to seize up, remaining in a state of contraction. In mild tying up, the horse’s muscles are extremely sore and stiff. In full blown tying up, the horse is unable to move.
GregRobert Pet Supplies offers low prices on many brands of Horse Tie-Up Prevention including:, Animed, Finish Line, Horse Health, Vapco, Vitaflex, and other selections.
