Hello

Has anyone even taken their horse for hydrotherapy?

I am thinking of taking my mare to try and help repair her tendon.

Does it help? Would people recommend it?

Hydrotherpay is great for tendon injuries. It increases circulation, reduces any pain and inflammation etc etc i.e. it can really help to reduce the healing time. I had to learn a lot about it when training for my equine sports massage diploma, and got to see one in action.
When looking for places, look for the spa that offers the deepest, saltiest, cold water treatment as that one will help your boy the most. Good luck!
