Microlief for Pre-Event Preparation
Microlief™ for Derby Day
If I had a colt running in the Kentucky Derby today, it is a sure bet that he would be wearing his Microlief™ units right up until Post Time.

The training cycle is over and now the time for competition has come. In the 48 hours prior to an athletic event, everything has to come together.
In Pre-Event care it is especially important to pay attention to areas that have previously given the horse problems. These problem areas often include the tendons and suspensories of the lower legs. Theses are soft tissue areas that come under maximum stress, especially for running horses.
Older and younger campaign horses can be afflicted with problems of the knees, ankles and hocks due to the concussive stress of constant competition and training. Hoof pain is another area of concern with some horses. The old saying still holds true, ‘no hoof, no horse”.
Hopefully, your horse is not exhibiting “all of of above”, but generally most horses will fit into one or two of the above categories.
Often the treatment of choice, especially just prior to competition is the old standby of ice or other numbing agents. The use of ice in human athletics is now pretty well regarded as a thing of the past. The main reason? Ice slows circulation, thus reducing oxygen to cells as well as constricting tendons and muscles. Lack of oxygen and constricted soft tissue is NOT something any athlete, human or equine, want prior to competition!
What is the 21st Century solution for equine athletes? Increase circulation and oxygen to the muscles and cells, reduce pain and inflammation, increase soft tissue elasticity and range of motion. Microlief™ accomplishes all of these goals with safe, scientifically proven technology. Best of all, Microlief™ fits under a wrap or bandage and can be left on right up to competition.
If you are looking for a safe, simple solution to give your horse an edge before competition, it is finally here! Microlief™ offers the horseperson the versatility of bringing your Pre-Event preparation into the 21st Century.

I can’t predict who will win the Derby today, but I do know that any horse Pre-Event prepped with Microlief™ will feel his best stepping on to the track or into the arena.
