Healing from the Outside In: Addie's Story
When a hoof abscess took an unusual turn, Red Light Therapy helped this thoroughbred mare heal a wound that nothing else could.
Meet Addie.
Adelaide is a thoroughbred mare with a case that surprised even her care team. What started as a hoof abscess didn't follow the typical path — instead of rupturing from the hoof or coronet band, it traveled up and broke through the skin at her pastern. The result was a painful, stubborn wound on the side of her pastern that resisted multiple medications and topical treatments for weeks.
With conventional treatments stalling, Addie's care team decided to try EquiSol Red Light Therapy. Because the EquiSol™ Bell Boot can be used anywhere on the body — not just the hoof — it fit perfectly over the wound on her pastern, delivering targeted red and near-infrared light directly to the affected tissue.
Within a month, the transformation was dramatic. The wound that had refused to respond to anything began closing cleanly and healing from within. Today, what was once a significant open wound has been reduced to a small scab.
Addie is comfortable, sound, and back to her everyday life. Her case is a great reminder that the EquiSol Bell Boot is a versatile healing tool — and that sometimes the most unusual problems respond to the most straightforward solutions.
